TROUBLE IN CHINA.
LONDON, January 3.
' Russia is retaining complete military control of Fengtein, the most important province of Manchuria. She allows the resumption of Chinese civil administration under Russian protection. Niuchwang and some other places are not to be restored to China until Russia is satisfied that the pacification is complete. ‘ The Times ’ says that this agreement is utterly irreconcilable with Russian professions to 'China and the Powers. The Chinese Government have notified to Ministers of the Powers that they will be able to guarantee the performance of the Powers’ demands.
Li Hung Chang states that the Emperor is willing to banish the offenders named by Ministers to the north-west frontier of China. They will be beheaded if they return.
A French gunboat has arrived at the West River owing to attacks made by the Chinese on property belonging to Catholics.
