AN ULTIMATUM.
POWERS AND CHINA. TAKU FORTS INCIDENT. JAPANESE .CRUISER DESPATCHED (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.l PEKING, March 16. The legations of the protocol Powers have instructed their naval commanders at Tientsin to notify the Taku forts authorities that unless within three days mines are removed from the channel in the Pei-hn River, and unless interference with foreign shipping ceases, they reserve the right to take the necessary action themselves. Sterner action was originally proposed, but there was some divergence of opinion. The British representatives were of opinion that a lenient policy was advisable unless foreign lives were actually threatened. The legations are now considering what action to take in the event or non-compliance with their demands. A message from Tokio says the Japanese light cruiser Hirodo has been ordered from Port Arthur to Taku.
