Sir chentung LANG cheng Declares
Any Revolt Will Be Suppressed
Without Mercy-No More Conces-
sions to Be Granted.

Washington, Feb. 19.-"There is no.
danger Of an uprising in China against
foreigners" said Sir Chentung Liang
Chang, the Chinese minister, in an in

that there is political agitation, but
its object is to create such excitement
as to cause international complica-

Other peoples and nations within what
