JAPAN MENACES
CHINA INSISTS
upon INDEMNITY
Return of Seized Vessel TatEn
and Apology Also Demanded
in UItimatum.

PEKIN, March 7~.--Japan's ultima
tunl, in the case of the Japanese steam
ship Tatsu Maru, presented. to tho
head of the Chinese foreign board. was
considered today. The Tatsu Maru
was seized off Macao on February I.
by Chinese customs cruisers, on the
charge that her cargo of, arms and
ammunition was intended for Chinese
revolutionists, although consigned to a
merchant OF that place. The steamer
is now being held at Whampoa, on the
Canton River.
The irreducable minimum of the
Japanese claims is the restoration OF
the steamer, as well as of her cargo.
and the payment of a full Indemnity.
Action is demanded within &. ''~reason-
able time" In case of default or post.
ponement, Japan, according to the
terms of her uItimatum, will take i'm
mediate action" !:
Japan expects. a reply by tomorrow.
She will not tolerate Ciina's offer to
investigate the case, and insists upon
an apology for the hauling down OF tho
Japanese flags on the Tatsu Maru, ans
she will not accept mediation, affirm
ing that China is in. error and that tho
facts are incontroyertible.
Baron TIayashi. the Japanese min
lister to China, in delivering the uti-
matum, made reference to Japan's SYM
patty for China in the matter of the
contraband traffic in arms. and cx-
planned that China could not expect
mediation so long as she Gid not admit
the participation of the Portuguese.

r~escuers on the scene, has been missing
since the fire. 1t Is thought that the
body may be his.

nerals was held. At st. Mary's Catho-
lie Church there were services over the

out with pals of water, using tin cups
to throw the water on the fire.
