Dispute Settled
Swatow, Oct. 22, Since writing my last letter I am glad to report that the Sino- Japanese dispute has been amic- ably settled. The exact terms of the se,tement, however, cannot be verified. Proper details vis-a-vis the issue are lacking and apart from the "headlin" that the case was settled, ocal papers dared not or were not permitted to any any- thing else. Many rumours re-
actual terms were garding the circulated. One was that the 300 bags of rice were to be released, plus a compensation of $120,000,, which a.so partiy covered the ar- rest, and subsequent non-delivery! of a Japanese subject. How far this is true is not known; in any
