explanation from the Pekirg Govern
ment concerning the status Of Manchuria
which General Changtsoiin has declared
is part Of his newly established empire.
The fol ei2n minister, it is understood,
has prepared a note, which VIII he issued
soon, explaining that General Wupeifus
troops are being rushed North from Tient-
sin to crush General Changs army,
which recently suffered a bad defeat in
the campaign near Picking. The note will
urge the powers to negotiate no treaties
with General Chang which would violate
the agreements concluded at Washington
ard at the same time will emphasize that
the generals seizure of post offices, Gus
toms and railway administrations in
Manchuria has already involved foreign
interests. A report received from Muk-

adopted flag for his new empire and it
is said proposes to include in Manchuria
that part of the province of Chill North
of the Luan river, which empties into
the sea near Ian Chou, torNing his
SoutheI base. This includes a large part
of the province south Of The great wall
