LONDON. Jan. ls.-The Press Association to-day
publshes an interview with leading member of
the French Embassy in London. He said that he
believed that the report of the interview of yeSer-
day with a member Of the Chinese Embassy IN
London was a correct version of the views OF the
Chinese Government. excepting that portion In
which it was stated that the Chinese troops would
not be Withdrawn from Bac-Ninh, but would meet
the French forces and protect Bac-Ninh W h all
their power. That statement, he believed. would
turn ont to be Incorrect If the French forces
should have a collision with the Chinese imperial
troops hc said, France would have the right to
demand indemnity for the expense incurred IN
maintaining her rights in Tonqun, and the amount,
or its equivalent in territory, would be large.
France did not intend to declare war against
China as she had not received any trustworthy
information that the garrison at SOntay was com
posed of regular Chinese troops. He did not know
what France would do if Chinese troops should
oppose the French ut Bac-Ninh, but France was
determined to take Bac-Nnh at all costs She
would listen to no offer of mediation until Bac-Nlnh
was III her hands. When possessed OF that city she
would receive overtures from any great Power Tor
the set lemCnt of the question at issue, nut would
not seek mediation France would then be ready
to accept either Earl Granvilles or Mr. Lowers
offers of mediation. VI. Waddington, the French
Ambassador at London, had no present intention
to see Earl Granville on the subject of mediation
Bac-Ninh he added, would probably be attacked
three weeks hence.
The Marquis Tseng and Dr.. II. Mccartney
secretary of the Chinese Legation, had an audience
to-day with Earl Granville, the British Foreign
