Five Germans were killed and 14 wounded, five mortally. Russia is retaining complete military control over Fengteiu, * most important province m Manchuria, and allows the resumption of Cfiinese civil administration under Russian protection. Niuchwang and some ot^her places are not to be restored to China until Russia is satisfied that pacification is complete. The Times says this agreement is utterly irreconcilable with Russsian professions to China and the Powers. The Chinese Government have notified the Ministers of Powers that it is able to guarantee performance of the demands. Li Hung Chang states that the Emperor is willing to banish the offenders named by the Ministers to the north-west frontier of China. They will, he says, be beheaded if they return.
