days In which to surrender the

Chinese as a contraband ship.
The ultimatum does not state
what Japan will do at the end of two
days, but the Inference and the gen

to hso force to release tho Tatsu

China has no objection to sur
rendering the vessel, but Is seeking
to get a promise from Japau that
the latter government will take a
