Chang Tso-Lin’s defiance of the Peking government and his avowed intention of estab- lishing an independent empire in those provinces The presence of large bodies of Gen. Wu Pe has virtually isolated Mukden, where, % is declared Chang has assumed thi role of an independent soverign. General Wu has urged the Peking government to warn foreign powers not to have relations with Chang, whom he desires to prevent from ob- taining any foreign aid or negotiating any concesetons in Manchuria. It is understood that Foreign Minister Yen will inform the legaticns shortly that China will not recognize any agres ment concluded without the consent of Peking. The government announces that it bas not yet received notification of : Tso-Lin's declaration of inde- pendence and the legations are en- dedvoring to ascertain whether th¢ proclamation was personally sanction- ed by the Manchurian general. Copies of a declaration purported | to have been signed by Chang have been received by the consuls at Tient:| sin. It is addressed ‘to all the foreign ministers in Peking and all the fore- ign consuls in Tientsin.” Faure of its receipt by the Peking government is attributed in some: quarters to Wu Pei-Fu's control of the telegraph lines. The first paragraph of the declara- Rion refers to President Hsu-Shih- Chang’s mandate in dismissing Chang as inspector-general of Manchuria and, continues: | “Hsu Shfh-Chang requested me to give up the three eastern provinces, the district of Jehol, ‘the district » of Chahar and inner and outer Mongolia. ‘These regions henceforth shall not be as part of the territory of the Chinese republic.” Another publication is that Chang alone shall have power to make treat- jes for the regions named. struct you all next week by answering ques tions for the readers of The Tribune.
