JAPAN EXPLAINS HER COURSE
CHINA UNYIELDING AND UN-

No Promise Of Anything, But Vain
Negotiation-No Interference on
Antung-Mukden Railway.

The japanese embassy yesterday made
public the "communique'' received from
Toxic explaining Japan's attitude in the
contention with China over the construc-
tion of the railroad between Antung and
Mukden. which has so seriously strained
the relations between those countries.
The principal features Of this note were
set out in dispatches from Toxic Friday
night
In substance, the Japanese complained
that they were acting strictly in accord
ance with the terms of the treaty OF
Peking of 1905 in endeavoring to substi-
tute broad for the present unsafe and
slow narrow-gauge road and to open UP
another route for traffic between Europe
and Japan and the far east generally.
and that China has maintained IAN un-
yielding and unaecommodating attitude.
with no promise of anything but vain
and Improbable negotiation
TOXIC. August Work on the re-
construction of the AntungMukden line,
regarding which Japan had issued an
ultimatum TO China, was begun Friday
evening.
Up to that moment there had been no
disturbance or interference on the part
of the Chinese troops or other author
tiles. So said President Nakamura here
today.
II have every reason to believe that
the reha bilitation of the railroad will be
completed according to the wishes of my
government" said he.
