Great Britain Demands Satisfaction of
China Within Seven Days.
SHANGHAI, Nov. THE British Off
cials here have sent an ultimatum to
the viceroy demanding a settlement of
the Chung King affair within seven
days. The British demands are that
Tao Tai Sheng be dismissed and de-
graded, the Chung King to be saluted
with 81 gums from the Taku forts and a
money indemnify is to be paid to the
owners Of the Chung King. If these
demands are not complied with within
the specified time, reprisals on the part
of the British feet are threatened.
A Remarkable Affair.
The Chung King affair is one of the
remarkable incidents of the war be-
tween China and Japan, and may have
serious results. On Aug. A last. q Ten
Tsin dispatch announced that 10 Jap
anese soldiers who had been forcibly
removed by the Chinese from the Brit
ish steamship Chung King, were re-
turned Immediately upon the viceroy,
Lii Hung Chang, being notified and it
was added that the viceroy apologized
to the British consul.
On Aug. Z, however. a dispatch from
Shanghai announced the arrival there
OF the steamship Chung King, and the
captain OF that vessel gave his version
of the affair, which gives it a more
serious aspect. The captain said that
while his ship was at Tung Ku, on the
Gulf Of Pc Chi Lii, Chinese soldiers
went on, board of her for the purpose of
selling the Japanese passengers. They
found ON board that vessel 90 Japanese,
mostly women and children, and at
began TO hunt them down. The
Chinese pursued the Japanese all over
the vessel. bound them hand and foot
as soon a. caught. and flung them over
ON the wharf. ii Hung Chang event
ually, upon the protests of the British
consul, commanded the Japanese be re-
turned on board the Chung King, and
ordered the Chinese soldiers who had !
made the raid to be severely punished. :

whether she had two gowns or two

And so, after great deal Of arguing,
q compromise ON four weeks time was
effected.
That evening Duross related the cir

wound up by saying:
