his approval. He says he never saw the
account of the battle at Santiago and the

with the cordially with which their

PAO TING Flu EXPEDITION.
Called on and French Troops Or
dered TO Return.

Pekin, April 25.-The expedition
from Pao Ting Flu has been entirely
called of, and the French troops have
been ordered to return to their original
station. The only casualties offered
by the entire expedition were two Ger
man soldiers killed.
With the exception Of the formal or
dering on Of the Chinese troops the
only comment made by the court Is a
brief notice in the Official Gazette to
the effect that, had strong enough
manifestations been made through the
Observation-Disclosures, the troops would
have been ordered to withdraw before.
This II considered a censure, would
be manifestly unjust because LII Hung
Chang and Prince Ching had been urg-
ing the withdrawal for month. How
ever. the notice Is so brief that neither
plenipotentary regards II as a refec-
ton upon his actions, thinking that
the court means that the powers did
not make strong enough representa-
tions.
As matter OF fact, II any reflection
upon the plenipotentiaries were intend
ed. III Hung Chang and Prince
Ching would be Inundated before the
foreigners and could no longer be con-
sidered representatives.
The Germans killed In connection
with the expedition were members or
scouting party who went far beyond
the border.
