Japan Willing to Ad China-1he
Tatsu Still Held.

Pekina March 9-The incident of the Tatsu
has not yet been fully settled. Baron HayaShi,
the Japanese Minister to China. had a confer
ence to-day with Yuan Shi Kai, Grand Coun-
cillor of the Empire but they tailed TO reach
an understanding the questions of the re-
lease of the steamer which is still held by
China and of the indemnity. China has, how
ever given satisfaction regarding the hauling
down of the japanese flag on the Tatsu by chi
nese officers and Baron Hayashi to-day assured
China that Japan would meet her desires re-
garx!ing supervision of the traffic in arms TO
Chinese territory. He agreed also to the chi
nese proposal for the ultimate disposition of the
cargo of the Tatsu Maru. He then again set
forth the final demands of his government.
Influence had to be eXerted on Yuan Shf kai
TO get him to act in the matter. The toregn
Board reiterates its previous statements that
the case cannot be settled without thorough
investigation.
The Viceroy of Canton is opposing the punish
rent of the Chinese naval commander who
boarded the Tatsu and lowered the Japanese
flag.
In the present status of negotiations final ac-
ton by japan will have to be deferred for at
least two days.
