When the original conditions drafted by all the generals as a necessary condition of handing over were swept aside by the Ministers in Feling, and the 30 kilogistes limit was cut down to 3 miles, the British general applied to the Minister to have it clearly deft how many
camps Yuan was entitled for and their legitimate strength. No notite was taken of this, neither were any steps taken toetje even the eight-mile limit, or where the radius should be measured from. The Chinese would probably say from the centre of the native city, which Lieutenant Geiger, R.V.F, has been ap-ould make the limit only 4 miles beyond the pointed Instructer of Musketry at the Musketry School, llythe.

This not having been stated the generals are powerless to say anything unless the general condition of affairs becomes at any time so threatening as to demand immediate attention. Steps are being taken to try and get Yuan to put in black and white the places he
occupying and numbers of at each, and then watch will be kept to see if his statements are acted up to. So long as Yuan acts honourably with us, as he appears to be doing fairly well at present, there is nothing to fear. But if he should at any time come under the influence of the reactionaries in Pekind take part in the great act of revenge, as he probably will, our position here would be as weak in every respect as in 1900, while his would be immeasurably stronger than the Chinese was at that time.
