' \ ' SIINGTON , Aug. H.- Iemb r of the
diplomatc corps who were seen as to
progress of affaIrs In the Orient think I
) ' I'rcbahle ' , If there be any erlRls In the Japan-
cee cabinet , a represented In recent Ils-
patehes , that It may be due to developments
made In connection with the negotatons be-
hHen China and Japan , which were understood -
stood to he In progress there between the
Japane minister and the Chinese author-
Ities.
. I Is understood that the labor of shaping
the relations between the two OrIental em-
1.lres has been left largely to Mr. llayaslil
the new Japanese minister at PekIng , and
that this work embraces many details sup-
1Icmeltal to the original tety , Inchldlng
. bp.les ! the cstahlshmcnt of commercial re- I
S latons between the two countries , the fixing
of the amount of the Indemnity for the sur-
render of the 1.lao Tong Ilcnlnsula. This
work woul ( naturally Involve a review of
the orIginal treaty and It may have de-
"elol'll facts which have operated 10 open
up the entire question and to give the critics
of the Japanese government a new basis far
their assaults upon , Count Ito and Viscount
1atsu , who negotiated the treaty of
Bhllnjoneskl. The surrender of the peninsula ,
wlh its splenllhl fortifications at Port
Arthur , arousctl much criticism at the time
RII ( If recent occurrences have tended to
show that China Is dliposetl to evade a
portion of her part of tIle contract this
\\oull serve tn open the old feeling of dls-
t salsfaclon In Jalan.
Much as hai been said about the surrender
ly the Japanese of the 1.lao Tong concession It
appears now that Japan never received any
d fnle a surnce 18 to the Indemniy she
was to receive. The general suppositIon
existed that there WIS a tacit uII rlallng
that there should he added not less th.1
lCO.OOOOOO taels ou account of this charge ,
but I now seems that the entire arrange-
mcnt for the slrenller ( of the concession was
made WIth the Interfering I'uropean : ) powers
who content themselves with securing
Japalse promise to keep Off the Chinese
mainland , leaving Japan to arrange with
China as 10 the Imount of Indemniy all to
iirovide for Its collection. I Chlnll 11 showIng -
log a disposition to take advantage or the
. . 4 attItude of Ittissia , France and German , as
Is understood to be the case , It wouhl
naturally fal n \ \ ' that the dbcontents In
