CHINESE WARSAIpS TO JAVA
REPUBLIC DEMANDS INDEMNITY
FOR DEATH OF SAILORS.
Bombardment of Batavia Threatened
If Dutch Government Does
Not Pay Promptly.

San Francisco, Feb. 2S.-Chinese
warships have been ordered to the
Island of Java under instructions to
begin a bombardment of the port OF
Batavia if the Dutch government does
not pay an indemnity demanded for
the killing of Chinese, said 10 have
been attacked by Dutch soldiers.
In an ultimatum sent to the Dutch
government, Provisional President
Sun Vat Sen stated that an attack on
Java would be>begun if the indemnity
were not paid within week.
This information has just been re-
ceived here in private dispatch
from Dr. Suns private secretary.
DR.. Sun declared in his ultimatum
that passports would be handed to
the Dutch minister, who is said to
be at Shanghai en- route to Pekin. if
the indemnity were not paid.

NAY FORTIfY PANAMA CANAL
ENGLAND ADMITS RIGHT OF
AMERICA TO DO so.
All Fear That Fertilization Might be
Opposed DispelIed by Official
Statement.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Any fear
that the right Of the United States
to fortify the Penama canal might be
challenged and forced to arbitration
under the provision of the pending
Anglo-American arbitration treaty has
been dispelled by a statement from
official sources that Great Britain al
ready has formally acknowledged
that right.
On several occasions this acknowl.
edgment was said to have been made
but all doubt is now removed by a
communication in writing from the
late Secretary Hay to the senate en-
planatory of the understanding he
had reached with the British repre-
sentatives when the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was being negotiated.
Mr.. Hay explained every step of
the negotiations and when he came
to the clause in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty prohibiting the fertilization of
the canal he offered the following
statement of the reason that led him
and Lord Pauncefote to omit that
prohibition from the new treaty:
The whole theory of the treaty is
that the canal is to be an entirely
American canal. The enormous cost
of constructing is to be borne by the
United States alone. When con-
structed it is to be exclusively the
property of the United States and is
to be managed, controlled and de-
Tended by it. Under these circum-
stances and considering that now. by
the new treaty, Great Britain is re-
leved of all the responsibilities and
burden of maintaining its neutrality
and security, it was thought entirely
fair to omit the prohibition that no
shall be erected COM
the canal or the waters ad-
jacent.'"
