Chan Tso-lin's capital at Mukden, including the arsenals and stores, have been virtually taken over by the Japanese under an order forbidding tho entry of any armed force or any acts of hostility within six miles of the Japanese railway. Chang Tso-lin will be notified to-day that he will not be permitted to return to his own capital unless he returns a complete victor. General likewise will be notified that he will not be permitted to pursue Chang to Mukden while the entry involves possible fighting. .
The Japanese action is in pursuance of a request by foreign consuls, which was renewed on Monday, that Japan protect the consulates and nationals. It is officially reported that there has heen extensive looting in the Newchang and Yinchow suburbs of Mukden, and at Shanhaiwan, wherein Chang's irregulars were involved. JRandit activity is vastly, increasing. The Japanese forces in Manchuria are not likely to reach the 15,000 limit permitted by the Portsmouth Treaty.
