| WASHINGTON, March 15.-As s re-
suit of the negotiations between Min
lister Dun in Japan and Minister

stood In official circles, they are as
| follows:

China has ceased to exist by reason of

VIENNA, March 13.-The Politische |
Core pOn0enz says that China has
appealed to all the European Powers
anu the United States to assist and CO. |
oper:sle in the negotiations for peace. |
The wTiter ad is-that- the Cabinets
are likely TO hold Pour Parlers on the !
subject.
PARIS, March I3.-The European |
edition of the Herald will print to-
morrow this dispatch, dated Shanghai |
yesterday: The high Chinese officials
nave been terrified by the fall of Wei
Hal Wei and New Chwang. Seeing
nothing to stop an immediate advance
upon Pekin they are hurrying thence
by the wholesale, deserting their posts
in the widest panic. The japanese
squadron of sixteen warships. and
cruisers have been sighted Off North
FOrmosa, however, along the coast
between killing and Tamsui, which
are destined to be first at
tackled. The girrisons numbered
$4,000, and the Japanese probably will
adopt their previous tactics of COM
biDed land and sea attack. They pro-
badly will disembark marines between
Tamsui and killing.
WAsHINGTON, March Is -Informa-
ton which reaches here through pri-
vate but trustworthy sources, is to the
effect that Lii Hung Changes peace
mission TO Japan will probably look
to other matters than an amicabIe
settlement of hOs'ilities between |
China and Japan. The existing COM
mercial treaties between the two coun-
tries has been set aside by the war
and it Is understood that a new treaty
will be formed. In this new treaty,
t is asserted, that Japan viii insist
hat her consular officers in China
shall have jurisdiction over all mat
ers connected with subjects of Japan .
Who may be living in China.
Japan, it is asserted, looks with
much disfavoT upon an unchecked i'm :
of Chinese to her shores as
10 the United States or any other {
country which has restricted Chinese
M IMMIGRATION. 1t is believed that the 8
lew treaty with China will contain =
PROVISIONS which will not permit
;binese to enter the interior of Japan, I
,ut will limit their residence wholly q
o the sea coast cities. So far as a s
reaty of peace is concerned, it is o
laimed that Japan will insist on an =
sufficient to cover the ex- !
enses of the war. 1t is estimated /
hat this SUN will reach S15O, 200, 900. /
he radical war party of Japan are u
lso urging that all part of the pro.
ince of Machuria which is now occu-
led by Japanese troops shall he ceded
D japan, and that the latter Govern
lent be placed in control at Port
arthur and Wei Hal Wei. 1t is also t
ndeTstOod that Japan will, above i
else, claim the island OF /
'OTmOsa where the rich sugar pIanta- :
ons of the Orient are located.
WASHINGTON, March I5.-The ca I
lie report that a Japanese squadron C
sixteen war-hips had descended on q
"rmOsa is believed at the japanese y
,egatinn here to indicate the opening ! :
the spriug campaign in the warmer &
)uthern latitude. The Jap ,nese are r
ported to be gathering an army for
le purpose Of cOnquering this big
hiuese island which Is 10 be anne Xed
, Japan under the treaty of peace
)On TO be signed. The island, though \
China's, has never been y
)nquertd from the Malay aborigines, 1
, that japan will be obliged To sub y
lie the natives. 1t is desired by 81
apau on account of its vast coal de- r,
D>its.
