Disappearance Of Mail Bag On Railway
("Hong Kong Daily Press" Special)
Djibouti, May 19.
A considerable sensation was caused here by the announce- ment that a sealed bag containing diplomatic correspondence despatched by the British Legation at Addis Ababa ta the Bri- tish Consul here has disappeared mysteriously from the train on the way to Djibouti. British quarters here believe that the mail bag was undoubtedly stolen, but refuse to make any statement regarding the nature of the stolen correspondence or whether they have any suspicions on whose behalf the theft was com mitted.
Some anxiety pevails here concerning the fate of the mem- ber of the British Red Cross delegation in Abyssinin named Bonner who had been bitten by a mad dog "in the interior of the country and who was on his way to Aden for anti-rables treatment when he was arrested by the Italians in a train at Diredawa.—Transocean News Service.
