Japan.
NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESSING FAVORABLY.
United Pbess Association. London, March 3
Renter's Tokio correspondent reports that Count Okuma, in an interview, said the negotiations with Peking were progressing favorably. It was untrue that China was endeavouring to unduly delay the settlement. The false impression regarding the negotiations was due to German agitators. Japan's proposal, he said, was in complete accordance with the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and other treaties guarauteeing i equal opportunity in and the integrity of China. Japan was not seeking a monopoly in demanding the appointment of Japanese advisers, and was not seeking a protectorate, but was only asking at Shantung what China had already granted to Germany. GERMANY WARNED OFF. Paris, April 3. Advices from Petrograd state that China will transfer to Japan all Germany's former rights in Shantung. The agreement precludes Germany's acquiring colonies or spheres of interest in China.
