BRITISH INSTRUCTORS TO
CHINESE NAVY.
THE CHINESE ARMY
Received January 28, 1.10 a.m.
London, January 27. A hundred million taels, buried in the women's quarters of the palace before the Court's flight, have been recovered.
China proposes to appoint British instructors to the navy. The Court has granted Yuan-shih-ki five million taels annually for the maintenance of an army of 100,000 in the province of Chi-li.
Dr Morrison, the London Times' Peking correspondent, states that the clause in the Manchuria treaty giving Russia exclusive railway and mining privileges has been eliminated.
China shortly signs simultaneously a treaty and a separate secret agreement granting the Russo-Chinese Bank preferential railway, mining, industrial, and commercial privileges, and saves her face by the fiction that the Bank is partly Chinese.
