LONDON, February 22
The "Morning Post" states' that Ministers consented to the Chinese Court sentencing Chilean and Henehengi to decapitation. An edict has been issued under which Tung'fuhsluuig is degraded and deprived of rank. Prince Tuan, lately disgraced, is exiled; Chuang Yingnein and Chaoshuehiao are ordered to commit suicide. Three other leaders are . sentenced to decapitation. It is understood Tungfushang-'s life will be confiscated when possible.
The European and Chinese secretaries of the Legation in Pekin consider the result a Chinese triumph, as the Court is only beheading- Ynhsien. It is pointed out that suicides are not disgraced.
The Japanese hold Hinchen Ji and Chlhsin.
At America's instance the Allies accepted the principle that no power shall seek individual concessions in Chinese territory without international assent.
