A LEASE LAUGHED AT.

London, Jan. 6.-The Times says edi-
torially this morning:
1T would be simple to assume that
the Reichsanzeiger's dispatch tells the
whole story; for it quite omits to say
wnat China gets in return. To the
world at large, ..owever, the material
fact is that Germany, by physical
force, has obtained naval station. This
is the fact that must guide other powers
in determining their own policy.
1.-THE talk Of lease is a mere saving
of appearances. There is no doubt that
both Germany and China are aware that
it is a practical cession in full sover-
eighty. 1t provides a further argument
in favor of an English guaranteed
Chinese loan.''

KIAo-CHOU CEDED TO GERMANY
China Yields Every Point With Fee
bic Provise as to Other Powers.

DIe Pf0VlSe as to Other Powers.
Berlin, Jan. 5.-The Reichsanzeiger
THIS evening announces that according to
a telegram from Pekin, an understand
ing has been reached between Germany
and China regarding the cession of Kiao-
Chou Bay to the former. The arrange
ment, it is added, is substantially as fol-
lows:
1t is intended by the cession to render
possible for Germany the fulfllment of
her just wish for the possession, in the
same way as other powers, of a base
for trade and navigation in Chinese wa
ters.
The cession of Kiao-Chou Bay to
Germany takes the form of lease for
an indefinite time. Germany is at lib
erty to erect on the ceded territory all
the necessary buildings and establish
ments, and to take the measures reuuir-
ed for their protection.
Continuing the Reichsanzeiger saws
the ceded territory comprises the whole
of the inner basin of Kiao-Chou Bay. so
far as the high water line, the larger
headlands situated south and north of
the entrance of the bay, to the point
where they are naturally bounded by
mountain ranges, and also the islands sit.
uated within and in front of the bay.
The ceded territory comprises an area
of several square miles, bounded by a
larger zone around the bay, within
which LO measures or arrangements
may be made by China without the
consent of Germany. In particular, no
obstacles are to to be raised by China
to amy measures Germany deems nee
essary for the regulation of the water
courses.
Finally, 'in order to avoid conflicts
which might disturb the good under
standing between the two powers"
China has transferred to Germany, for
a period, a lease of all sovereign rights
over the ceded territory
The telegram, which is brief does not
state the duration of the lease, nor the
amount payable by Germany.
If for any cause KiaO-Chou Bay should
prove unsuitable for the objects Ger
many has in view, China, after arriving
at an understanding with Germany, will
cede the latter, at another point of the
coast, a piece of territory which Ger
many may regard as more suitable for
her purpose. In that case China will
take over the buildings and establish
T1ent constructed by Germany at Kiao-
Chou Bay and refund their cost.
