TOKIO, May Japan dlspatehcd
the threatened uHlmaUim to Pekin
late today. The Chine government
Is given until Saturday to reply to
tle last word of Jaiwa In tlie nego

PEKIN, May . The greatest con
cern In official circles here Is thut
Japan will strike without warning.
While the ultimatum, which the Jap
anese cabinet Is declared to have de
cided to serve upon China, Is awaited,
there Is a growing fear that once mil
itary action Is regarded In Toklo as
the only means of forcing an accept
ance to the Japanese demands, an at
tack will be ordered without further
communication with Pekin.
President Yuan was in conference
today with officials of the foreign of
fice but no change In the Chinese po
sition Is likely, at least not until It Is
evident that only acceptance of the
Japme.-e demands will prevent war.
TuKIO, .May 6. All differences ex
isting between the cabinet and the el
der statesmen, us to the position to
be taken as a result of China's refusal
to hi cede to the demands of the Jnp
iinrxe. have been adjusted during an
-extended meeting presided over by
u PremUr Okuma.
A united front is now presented in
pleasing upon the Pekin government
the acceptance of the Mikado's de
mnr.ds either peacefully or by force.
It was learned that efforts toward
mediation are generally anticipated in
government circles. It Is expected
that both England and the tTnii.
states may offer such suggestions.
It is reported that Japan has no In
ternum of turning from the present
course in dealing with China even
nuunn ine renin government appeals
to the powers. Only an eleventh hour
acceptance of Japan's demands will
Prevent aggressive action by the To
klo government, it Is believed.
Each step taken by the government
,nd the final decision to serve an
ultimatum upon China were gone over
In detail by the cabinet.
WASHINGTON, May 6. Dispatches
telling nf Japan's decision to send an
uuinialum to China are believed to
nave reached the slate department.
When asked this afternoon whether
the government had received news of
n ultimatum, Bryan replied: "Thai
'a going too deeply Into the matter."
From this It was inferred that noli
flcation of the ultimatum has been de
Mvered to this government.
Reports that the United States Is at

mediator are unconfirmed. There was
