HEATED DEBATE.
THE HANKOW RAILWAY LOAN. A PROTEST. Received April 6, 8 a.m. PARIS, April 5. After heated conferences at Paris with a German group of bankers, the British and French group declined to participate in the Deutsche Asiatische Bank's Canton-Hankow railway loan, on the ground that adequate control of expenditure was not provided for.
The British and French banks also forwarded a protest to Pekin, on the ground that the loan had not been previously submitted to Britain,m accordance with the provisions of the convention of September 9th, 1905.
ALLEGED SECRET AGREEMENT WITH CHINA.
Received April 6, 8.25 a.m. LONDON, April 5. Details of the differences between the British and German financiers over the Hankow railway show that there was acute tension through Germany persisting with an agreement made with China behind the backs of England and France, contrary to a protocol signed a week earlier.
The German financiers showed a disposition to yield, but pleaded that their Foreign Office would not permit them.
