China Gained Something.

A settlement has been reached In
the dispute between China and Japan
in the case OF the Tatsu Maru.
the base OF the settlement was the
agreement by the Chinese Foreign
Board to retain the arms forming the
cargo OF the vessel, paying about
$1,000 therefor; TO pay a little less
than half that sum as demurrage on
the steamer to release her. and TO
salute the Japanese flag. On the
other hand, Japan has agreed TO
adopt and enforce strict regulations
to prevent future traffic in arms
from Japan to China. From this
point OF view It will &c recognized
that China has not failed to reap a
substantial advantage from the Incl
dent. In addition the arrangement
made with Japan, al agreement has
been reached with Great Britain
which is expected to put an end to
the trade in rifles between Hong
Kong and the south China port, es-
pecally Macao. Regarding the lat
ter place it is expected that an under
standing will be reached with Por-
tugal, whose dependency 1t is while

pulls that are financially fruitful if
such there really be. Mr.. Hammond
