PIRATES ATTACK SHIP. Chinese Bandits Loot Vessel That Had Gone Ashore. Shanghai, China Warships probably will be sent to recover as much as possible of the wrecked steamer Asia's cargo, which was deserted to Chinese pirates when ttie passengers and crew were taken off by the Chinese Chi-nese steamer Slioaklng, after the Asia had gone on the rocks. The value of the cargo, chiefly of silk, is estimated at ".00,000. After the passengers had escaped, pirates attacked the crew, and though the sailors put up a hard fight, captured cap-tured one stoker and carried him away. The others of tho crew, with the passengers and the mails, were brought here.
