ITS ULTIMATUM
Not Modifies Certain Dem&nda

WASHINGTON, May 7. The
United States within the last twenty-
four hours, through lis ambassadors
abroad, baa consulted Great Britain,
France and Russia, as the allies of
Japan, to learn their attitude toward
the present status of the Japanese-
Chinese negotiations.
PEKING, May 7. Ekl Hlokl, the
Japanese minister to China, went to
the Chinese foreign office between t
and 4 o'clock this afternoon and pre
mntMl the lananM ' ultimatum.
which Insists that China accede to the
demands persented by the Toklo gov
ernment.
Previous to this action on the part
of the minister, the secretary of the
legation visited the foreign office and
Informed Vice Minister Tsao Yulin
that the ultimatum of the Japanese
government contained certain modifi
cations of the twenty-four demands
presented by Toklo. N ,
Chlas Probably Will Yield.
There Is food reason to believe Ahat
China U prepared to conoede every thing
detnaaded by Japan, realising that the
situation la hopeless.
This possible outcome to the present
tense situation la not generally compro
KtniUd in Peklns: oonaoauently a num
ber ef fore ten residents, as well as Chi
nese themselves, are today pecking their
personal belongings and otherwise pre
paring for eventualities.
Japan's policy, says the Peking Oasette,
is to extort the entire body of ber de
mands while ' avoiding the odium of

China through an ultimatum.
f It ' waa ascertained here early today
that the Japanese government -yesterday
presented to the Chinese minister at
Toklo a note warning him that China
must accept the demands ef Japan, aa
otherwise there would be presented aa an
ultimatum, the expiration of which would
be fixed f or p. m. of Sunday, May fc
Japanese Hary Is Ready.
T0K3O, May 7. The press generally de
precates the necessity of further conces
. stone to China. Some newspapera ex
press the fear that the Impression will go
abroad that the elder statesmen are still
the power behind the throne.
More than forty warships, including
the battleship HI sen. and 1b . battle
cruiser Kopgo, are preparing at Sasebo
for possible operations against China A
aeeond . squadron under Admiral . Kawa

Rear Admiral Kamunarla's fleet. In
cluding the battleahtpa Bagaml and Suwo,
has been erdored to the Gulf of Pecltl to

Hloka in case, cfl necessity.
The police are protecting Prof. Arlgfc,
Japanese adviser to President Tuan fchl
Kai, who apeakera hit denounced aa a
Chinese spy and are arranging ample
protection lor Chinese residents of Japan.
Baron Kato, Japanese foreign minister,
is understood to have Informed the am
bassadors of other powers that the ulti
matum to China, which expires at p.
m. Sunday, was accompanied by addi
tional modifications of Japan's demands,
notably the questions relating to muni
tions and advisers, which interested the
Unttedy States.
It I the general opinion in diplomatic
circles that China will submit. Meanwhile
Japan la making extensive preparations
for a possible rupture. Warships and
transports are held In readiness for in
stant action. Japanese, who have large
Dusinees interests in htaa, rearing a
forced exodus of Japanese employee, are
sending foreigners to China to look after
their affair. . v
The Impression prevails that the in
fluence of the elder statesmen resulted In
further concessions being made to China
in the belief that the lasting Interests
of the empire could best be served by
convincing the powers that Japan la
guided by a spirit of Justice and a desire
for the preservation- ef peace in the
orient.
