CHINA AND JAPAN
 SETTLE MUKDEN CASE
Negotiations Regarding Bomb Incl dent Have Been Going On
 For Months

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Picking, Nov. 22.-Announcement has been made of the settlement of the Mukden bomb incident about which negotiations between Japan and China have centered for months. The three Chinese students who were arrested by Japanese officials and held on a charge of having dyna- mited the shop of a Japanese medi- cine dealer last summer are to be turned over to the Chinese authori- ties.
 However, the conditions under which these students are to be sur rendered to the Chinese are very dis tasteful to Chinese newspapers which are commenting upon them with much bitterness.
 Under the terms of the agreement China is to pay twenty thousand dol lars, Mexican, indemnity to the medi- cine dealer in whose shop the bomb exploded. Wang Lo-min, the Chi nese whom the Japanese now accuse of having caused the explosion is to be arrested, tried and punished ac- cording to the evidence collected by the Japanese pOl1ce. The right of the Japanese to review the judg- ment passed on the prisoner is re- served by the Japanese authorities. Punishment is to be meted out to the Mukden chief of police, and to all his subordinates as a warning that they must preserve order.
 It is contended by the Chinese newspapers that the medicine dealer whose shop was dynamited was real ly dealer of opium and one of the many Japanese charged with violat- ing the Chinese law against the opium traffic. Mukden is in Chin csc territory and consequently the Chinese resent sharply tnc Japanese assumption of jurisdiction in that Ci.N
