WILL ABANDON WEI-HAI-wEI
British Find the COncessfOn Too Cost
ly to Maintain

LONDON, February 6-Accordine to the
Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Mail.
the British government has decided IN
abandon its intention of fortifying or gar
risoning the colony of Wei-Hai-wei. China
1t will withdraw all its troops from the
place and will transfer its control to the
civil authorities.
1t seems doubtful, even, continues the
correspondent. IL the colony will be re-
tanned. Its position Is useless from a mill
tary viewpoint. except by enormous expen
diture. and it is undoubtedly white eIe-
phant.''
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Mail learns that Germany Is in no way
concerned in the reported decision of Great
Britain to abandon Wei-Hai-Wei.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail at
st. Petersburg says he believes that i'm
portant developments are pending In
northern China, that Great Britain has
taken strong line with respect to the
Manchurian convention. and that Russia
and Great Britain are likely to arrive at a
sort of self-denying ordinance to foster the
commerce of northern China to the exclu-
sion of ruinous military rivalry
Nothing Is yet definitely decided. saws
this correspondent, but It Is known that
Great Britain intends making strong ef-
forts to foster and protect her Chinese
trade.
