FRANCE AND CHINA.
Protecting the French Frontier-An Alleged
Demand Not Confirmed

Paris. March 23.-It is said at the Foreign once
here that recent official reports show there IS a
growing state Of disorder in Southern China, par
tculaGIy along the border Of French Indo-China
chiefly due the operations of bands of Chinese
brigands. French interests have received reasona-
BILE protection until lately, through the vigilance Of
the mandarin Su: but since he has been superseded
there has been much lawlessness and many depre-
dations. Although the French authorities have not
yet taken definite action the officials here confirm
the reports from Shanghai to the effect that
continuance Of the disorder will undoubtedly lead
to the sending OF French troops across the border
to suppress the brigand bands and insure protec-
ton of French interests.
The Foreign Office has advices regarding the
published report that the French commander at
Ter-Tsn has demanded s1.500O0O compensation and
new barracks before he will the arsenal
there. 1t Is said that such request would neces-
earily be made through the French Minister at
Peking, who has not asked for authority to make
representations the subject TO the Chinese Gov
