Japan, it:was indicated, was prepared for an exhaustive irvestigation of the questioy ¢f Manchiyria, in which she claims special interests. It is believed probable also that Mongolia may also be dered in connection with the whole se subject. No direct negotiations between Chinese and Japanese representatives concerning Bhantung have taken place in Washing- tcn, Baron Kato announced. When the international financial 4 Sortum was arranged, it was recalled to- night, Japan at first endeavored to have Manchuria and Mongdlia excluded fr. its ‘scope. Eventually, howeyer she agreed to their inclusion. The cons rtum has not yet begun to operate, although its representatives are now in China.
