Previous to this action on the part
Of the minister. the secretary Of the
embassy informed Vice Minister Tsan
Yulim that the ultimatum Of the Jap-
anese government contained certain
notifications Of the twenty-four dos
mands presented by Toxic.
China to Make Concessions.
There Is good reason to believe that
China Is prepared to concede every.
thing demanded by Japan, reali1ine
that everything is hopeless. This OUT
come is not generally comprehended In

residents are today packing their per-
sonal belongings and otherwise prepar.
ing for eventuanties. ss1s55j
1t was ascertained here today that

Toxic note warning HIM that Ch1n1i
must accept the demands OF Japan, -
otherwise there would be presentad 10
her an ultimatum. the expiration OF

Sunday. May 9.
Japan's policy. says the Peking Ga
zette, is to insist on the entire body Of
her demands, while avoiding the otiium
Of Europe and America for exactions
from China thru an ultimatum.
Japan's Many Demands.
The presentation Of the Japanese ul.
timatum is the elimination Of the ne
gotiations which have been going on
since January and which have repre-
sented Japan's endeavor to compel
China to accede to twenty-one de-
mands, and subjects entertained to
twenty-four. which. II accepted by
China. would have greatly increased
the influence of Japan. politically and
financially. in the affairs Of the Chin
ese republic.
1t is understood that the ultimatum
expires at s p. nj. Sunday, May 9.
Recent dispatches from the far east
have conveyed the impression that the
Chinese cabinet in the event Of the
presentation of an ult;matum would
yield to force.
The Chinese minister at Toxic has
been informed by Japan Of the prob
ably presentation OF the ultimatum
and also that If the demands were
not accepted. Minister Hioki would
leave Peking.
