PEKIN, April 14-Komars Yutari. thu
japanese envoy, accompanied by Gen.
YuInachi, the Japanese commander, re.
Gently called upon Prince Ching anu no
titled him that the immediate return Of
Emperor Kwang Su to Pekin was ur-
gently demanded. Prince Ching was in
formed that the emperor's 8 wishes would
be regarded by the foreign troops and
every courtesy would be shown him
1t was pointed out to the Chinese plen-
1potentiary that the emperors return
was of the highest Importance as con-
nected with the integrity of the Chinese
empire and he should come ACCOMPANIED
by every available soldier by at least
10000 men if possible These troops. 1t
was contended by the japanese minister
must be sent into ManShuria, as the
Russians reported great disturbances
there, and it was not right that the task
OF quelling the troubles should be thrown
upon the shoulders of one nation Final
ly Prince Ching was assured that if the
10000 Chinese troops could not suppress
the disorders in Manchuria, other powers
would send an international force to CO.
operate with China, which the powers re-
garded as friendly power
NO reply having been received to this
communication Lo Hung Chang was to-
day notified to the same effect, and was
told that Emperor Kwang Su must give
al immaculate answer.
The preparations which the Japaness
mere are making for an early start in
d1cate that they expect war between Rus
sia and Japan. Vessels arriving at Taxi,
from Nagasaki report the mobilization of
the japanese fleet and the continuance Of
preparations on board ship for the anti.
cipated struggle.
DISCREDITs REBELLION.
Prince Chang says all reports 60 Ia
show that the missionary statements re.
gard1ng rebellion in Mongolia are not
supported by facts. Neither does he be-
lfeve that the rebellion of Gen. Tung Flu
Hsiang amounts to much.
1t is the object Of certain elements
he asserts, ito make it seem that China
is In kind of constant boil, rendering
1t unsafe for the foreign troops to be
Withdrawn. Those who have this in
view will magnify a village quarrel into
g. big rebellion. Tie missionaries. nat
urally tflnid. take these reports in good
faith
The conduct of the ministers of the
powers over the negotiations with the
Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much
ADVERSE comment among the military au-
thortties Their dilarory tactics have
prevented what might have been accom-
p1Ished two months ago Even now the
meetings OF the ministers are postponed
for the most trivial causes For instance.
the desire Of one minister to go on q
picnic to the tombs Of the Ming dynasty.
prevented the holding of a meeting for a.
number Of days Then NJ. de Giers and
other ministers insisted upon celebrating
Easter, and hence a week was consumed
In third case an unnecessary visit by
one minister to Tien Tsin held up the
negotiations for four days These are
fa1r Illustrations Of what has been al
most continuous from the beginning.
