japan is preparing to embark 10000
more troops. Japan's sending OF troops
can have little bearing on the fate Of
the foreigners In Pekin.
Baron Hayashi. the new Japanese
minister, who arrived in London on
Friday. said that ten days would prob
ably be required for the carrying OF
troops to China. HIS dictated state
ments contained in these sentences:

"H all the conditions Japan asked
were conceded see no reason why
Japan should not undertake the task of
suppressing the trouble The powers
are all agreed in wishing to put down
the rebels, but It does not seem that
they are agreed on the means"
From these authoritative utterances
It is Inferred that Japan does nominate
conditions and that the concert Of the
powers is 4 little tangled.

comes regarding the legation forces ex-
cept q repetition that they are all dead.
The correspondents aver that II the
Chinese officials IN Shanghai wished to
throw light on the real state OF affairs
in the capitol, they could do So and
therefore The worst reports are accept
ed as true.
