*- 1 CHINA EXPRESSES REGRET. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyrightj [United Press Association.] Peking, September 9. China has instructed its representative at Tokio to express regret of tin 'late of the three Japanese killed a I | Nanking. A lull investigation into the i circumstances of their deaths has been ordered. , JAPANESE PLANS. Tokio, September 9. It is announced that the Government does not intend to mobolise but to deal firmly with Chinese problems. The Press is strictly censored. General Shiba, whom the Japanes. Government sent to inquire, admits thai Japanese officers and soldiers, acting without Japan's consent, as sisted the rebels in defending Nan king. Hence, although the Chinese Government is adopting a conciliatory altitude, foreign oj)inion in Peking is inclined to consider the outcry o! Japan unreasonable, especially in view of Japan's action in harboring the rebel leaders. Inquiry suggests tha l three Japanese were mistaken for looters.
