one proviso, but they we're informed
that all demands must be granted.
DR.. Morrison, wiring to the London
Times from Pekin yesterday, says:
"The court has yielded and consent
ed to the infliotion of the punishment
demanded, petitioning, however, that
the sentences on Chao Shu Chiso and
Wing Men may be strapgulation irs.ead
of decapitation. To this the foreign
ENJOYS have agreed. The question,
therefore, is virtually settled, and o
raison d'etre for the Tai Yuen Flu ex.
petition ceases to exist"
Won Wsldersee continues prepare
tons for his expedition. 1t Ii now ex.
pectsd that differences will occur among
the foreign representatives over the
claims for indemnity.
The British and French governments
are still In the dark an to the proposed
expedition, and 1t is hinted In London
that Germany planned the move with
out consulting the other powers.
The German Foreign Office states
that Field Marshal Count Won Walder-
sees expedition. in China Is to be con-
fined to the province OF Pechili "unless
the obduracy Of the Chinese govern
ment makes en- extension to sinanfu
necessary"
The expedition Ia Intended to bring
pressure to bear on the Chinese court
10 order to cause full acceptance OF the
dem lnds made through the ministers Of
the powers at Pekin. 1t is emphasized
at the Foreign Office that the expedi-
ton Is not to be German movement
