LONDON, Nov. 11.-Marquis Tseng informed
reporters of the Standard that the Intran-

been declined by France referred to
the circumstances which occurred some
time ago, and which, owing to the attitude
of France led to no results. He said until
reply had been received to China's
last note to France, negotia-
lions would be at a stand-stili.
If the French attack Bacninh they will
meet the Chinese troops, when, of course
there will be war. In that case China
