Is Drawn Plainly

Pekin, March 1--Japan's ultimatum

ton vas intended for Chinese revolu-
tionists, although consigned TO mer-
chant of that place. The steamer Is

Investigate the case. She insists upon
an apology for the hauling down of
the Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru
and she will not accept mediation, af
flrming that China is in error. and that
the facts are incontrovertible.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese min
lister to China in delivering the ultl-
matum, made reference TO Japan

contraband traffic in arms and ex-
plained that China could not expect
mediation so long as she did not admit
