CHINA AGREES
 TO JAP TERMS
TROUBLE MAY END WITH ROBBERY OF THE
 REPUBLIC.

PEKIN, March 24-China has agreed to five of the demands made by Japan and it is possible that the end If the danger of war may be in sight The chief concession made by this country is said to be the leasing of the Manchurian railroad to Japan for a term of ninety-nine years. This and the other concessions have been agreed to because of fear and not at all bcause of right or justice. If peace comes as the result of these concessions it will be a humiliating peace for the Chinese republic. 1t has been made evident to the Chinese people that Japan always coveted Chinese territory and only refrained from taking it because of the fear of the world powers, which, however, are now otherwise engaged. 1t was hoped that the United States govern. ment would have the power to save China from the Japanese rapacity but whatever protests have been sent by Washington have apparently been ig- nored by the Japanese government. At least the fear of American inter vention On the side of China seems to not to have existed in the Japanese bosom and China stands alone.

QUIET IN THE
 DARDANELLES
NOTHING BUT SWEEPING FOR MINES IS BEING
 DONE.

LONDON, March 25.-Conditions in the Dardanelles are quiet at pres ent, according to the advices received today. The allied admirals have small vessels out sweeping the waters for mines but no bombardment has taken place. The Turks take advantage of the tide running out towards the Agean to set mines ahoat in the hope that they will drift amongst the allied warships. These mines are the most serious impediment to the work of the fleet as the channel is so narrow that a few mines can cover it directly across and render an attempt at pas very dangerous. The latest accounts of the fighting between the ships and forts indicate that the Turkish guns in many cases are too small of calibre to pierce the strong armOr of the war ships so that in the majority of in- stances ships have been hit without damage.

PETROGRAD, March 25.-The Russians have started a great Offens- i've movement in the Carpathians.

VIENNA, March 25.-It is now full ly believed here that Italy will de- clare war against this empire within a few days. The Austrian govern ment has refused point blank to grant all the demands of Italy. Italy asked for the cession of several of shc pro. viaces under the Austrian crown peo- pied by Italians but Austria, acting against the advice of Germany, has declared that it will fight for ever be- for acceding. Count vOn Buelow, the German ambassador to Rome, has tried to bring the two nations togeth- CT and asked Austria to grant some of the demands of Italy in return for the neutrality of the Italians but Austria stands firm and answered the challenge of Rome by preparing to de- fend its soil against one more hostile nation. 1t is feared that the entry of Italy into the war may give the allies powerful aid in the effort to take Corstantinople but all Austrians arc determined to face the traitorOuS Italians who are now trying turing Austria's time of stress to rob it. The Austrian government offered
 ,r-o~5 'cns to Italy as the price of peace but every Austrian from Franz Josef down is now prepared tH give no more and to defy the former ally and new enemy to the south.
