Former's Ultimatum Is
Presented at the Chi
nese Foreign Office
This Afternoon
CONTAINS SOME
MODIFICATIONS
Bumored In Peking That China Is Pre
pared to Concede the Demands of
the Japanese, Realizing That the
Situation Is Hopeless
Peking, 'May 7, 6 P. M. —Eki Hioki,
the Japanese Minister to China, wont
to the Chinese Foreign Office between
3 and 4 o 'clock this afternoon and pre
sented the Japanese ultimatum wihich
insists that China accede to the de
mands presented by the Tokio govern
ment.
Previous to this action on the part
of the. Minister the Secretary of the
legation visited the foreign Office and
informed Vice Minister Thao Yulin
t'hat the ultimatum of the Japanese gov
ernment contained certain modifications
of the twenty-four demands presented
by Tokio.
Situation at Peking Is Tense
Peking, May 7, 5.05 P. M.—There
is good reason to believe that China is
prepared to concede everything demand
ed by Japan, realizing that the situation
is hopeless.
This possible outcome to the present
tense situation is not generally compre
hended in Peking; consequently a num
ber of foreign residents, as well as
Chinese themselves, are to day packing
their personal belongings and other
wise preparing for eventualities.
It was ascertained her to-day that
the Janpanese government yesterday
presented to the Chinese Minister at
Tokio a note warning him that China
must accept the demands of Japan, as
otherwise there would be presented to
her an ultimatum, the expiration of
which would be fixed for 6 p. m. of Sun
day, 'May 9,
40 Warships Beady to Attack China
Tokio, May 7, 1.25 P. IM.—The press
generally deprecates the necessity of
further concessions to China. Bome
newspapers express the fear that the
impression will go abroad that the elder
statesmen are etill the power behind the
throne.
More than forty warships, including
the battleship Hizen and the battle
cruiser Kongo, are preparing at Sasebo
for possible operations agaiust China.
A second squadron under Admiral Nawa
has arrived and is hastily embarking
supplies.
Troops Prepare for Eventualities
Tokio, May 6.—Certain portions of
the army corps stationed at Hiroshima
and Okayama already have prepared
for eventualities. Dispatches from Man
churia say that many Japanese are
leaving Japanese Darien, Manchuria,
and that the volunteer defense corps of
Japan and Chinese troops have clashed
at Tsinan. All the troops in Shan
tung province and Manchuria are pre
paring for possible trouble.
It is said in unofficial quarters here
that the elder statesmen at first were
strongly opposed to the ultimatum to
China, feeling that Japan had risked
too much and that she was likely to
lose the sympathy of the world * and
therefore do harm to vital permanent
interests. They even raised the possi
bility of dispatching a special plenipo
tentiary to President Yuan Shi Kai to
arrange the controversy, it is said. The
Minister of Finance is also reported
to have questioned whether the finan
cial condition of the empire justified
the radical step.
Secretary Bryan Issues Statement
Washington, May 7.—The Japanese-
Chinese negotiations, following reports
that Japan had decided to send an ul
timatum to China, held interest to-day
second only to the European war. The
position of the American government
regarding the negotiations is set forth
in a statement issued by Secretary
Bryan following a consultation with
President Wilson. It is intended to
clear up any misunderstanding that
may exist as to that position.
The statement explains that there is
no abatement of the American govern
ment 's interest in the welfare and
progress of China and declares that its
sole interest in the negotiations now in
progress between Japan'and China is
that they may result in an agreement
satisfactory to both nations and there
by contribute to world peace.
Japan Not to Violate U. S. Treaty
The pronouncement says that Japan
had promised the United States that
she would not violate American treaty
rights with China nor interfere with
the "open door" policy, to which the
United Statee and others powers are
committed. In this connection it is
pointed out that the American govern
ment has no intention of surrendring
any of its treaty rights with China,
the surrender of A-hich, it is added, has
not been asked by either Japan or
China.
In some quarters the statement is
interpreted to mean that although the
American government will not tender
its good offices to bring about a settle
ment of the questions at issuo between
China and Japan, its services are at
their disposal, if wanted.
The Harrisburg Hospital is open
daily except Sunday, between 1 and
2 o'clock p. m. for dispensing medical
advice and prescriptions to those un
able to pay for theui.
PEKING PREPARING AGAINST JAP
PRESIDENT YUAN SHIH -KAI ' . . . . . . ' ' - ■ - - ~
Er^T'
Military preparations are being made for the defence of Peking. According to Chinese officials, whose state
ments have been corroborated in other circles, the government Is making no preparations elsewhere than at the capital
for defence, considering that the Chinese will be unable to oppose the Japanese should they make an attack. Speolal
police and military precautions have been taken throughout the city, especially around the Winter Pnlace, where Presi
dent Yuan Shih-kal resides. The Japanese Legation, It is said, has warned Japanese residents to leave Peking at once,
•nd those who cannot go are to be cared for in the Legation quarters if hostilities begin.
