SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
TOKYO, Aug. 10(Dòmei).-It is authoritatively learned that Mr. S. Kato, the chief Japanese delegate to the moribund Anglo-Japanese negotiations, interviewed the British Ambassador this morning and requested a definite state- ment of British policy regarding con- tinuance of the negotiations.
The Japanese Minister requested the British Ambassador to state whether he could interpret the British preparations as bona fide prepara- tions.
TO QUIT PARLEYS
Mr. Kato informed Sir Robert that the Japanese -military delegates from Tientsin had decided to quit the parleys and return to Tientsin carly next week.
Unless the British proposals were received before their departure, the Japanese Government would reserve to itself freedom to determine whether the conference should or should not be resumed.
