SDeClal 10 the kECORD-ONION.
WAsHINGToN, April 16.-WhiIe the
State Department has not been officially
advised of the signing of treaty of peace
between Japan aud China, no doubt "a
entertained of the truth of the report,
and the delay on the part OF United
States Minister Dunn in reporting tho
facts is ascribed TO his presence in Toxic,
some distance from Shimonoseki. Tho
terms agreed upon are in conformity
with those already published by the
Associated Press, save the amount of tho
indemnity, which was subsequently, re-
duced probably to an amount estimated
to be sufficient to cover all OF Japan's
war expenses.
1t Is doubted, though. whether it has
been brought down as low as 100000, 900
In gold. Such territory as Japan is To
possess, in addition to Formosa, which is
absolutely ceded, will be subject only TO
| temporary occupation, probably until all
of the indemnity has been paid. This
| would leave Japan in temporary posses
sion OF the entire Lao Tung peninsula
from Fort Arthur, at the southern eN-
tremlty, clear up to MOukdou. the Capi-
tai OF ManchurIa, on the north, and from
the Lao River, on which New Chwaug
is situated, on the west, to the Corean
border on the east. This amounts to
about 5000 square miles.
The report that d condition of the
| treaty is an offensive aud defensive
treaty between CANA and Japan is not
credited in Japanese circles, and is nos
DeueVod to have been even suggested.
IL hung Chang is said to have enter
tanned strong convictions (which he has
concealed tor prudential mouvesl as to
the wisdom of such q combination, be-
levlng that by close alliance with
Japan China would secure in return
practical control Of the commerce OF tho
greatest trading people OF the Last.
1t Is noted, by the way, that the re-
ported agreement is not final IN all re-
spects, but is simply preliminary ar
rangement, indicating the broad lines
| or the ultimate terms of the definite
| treaty OF peace, which may not De per-
| lected Tor months to come.
IIEN TsIN, April l6.-An imperial
edlct has been issued authorizing III
| Hung Chang to sign the terms OF the
peace IN accordance with the Japanese
ultimatum. The indemnity to be paid
by China is 200, 600 600 taels
The edict further authorizes Ii Hung
Chang to grant possession OF Lao Tung
Peninsula on the fortieth degree OF
latitude together with the island OF
tormosa to the Japanese: also to
consent TO the opening OF Pekin and four
new ports to commerce, and giving the
Japanese power TO open cotton factories
and other industries in China.
