HONGKONA, SEPTEMBER 18TH, 1913.

APPARENTLY the account between Japan and China is uot entirely settled vat. The Chinese Government without undua dolay acquiesced in the demand for un apology for the murder of Japanese subjects by Chinese Government troops at Nanking, as well as for insults offered to Japanese officers at corinin other places in China. Not only did the Chinese Government express its regret to the Japanese Ambassador, but promised further that General CHANG Haus should apologise to the Japanese Consul at Nanking; that General L YUAN HUNG (Vice-President) should apologise to the Consul a Hankow; and that the Tutuh of Chili, should similarly make apologies to the Japaneso Consulat Tientsin. Moreover, in the case of the persons -murdojed, the Chinose Government con- sonte to pay compensation to the bereaved families Having regard to the whole of the circumstances, this has seemed a suficient humiliation for China, but it now tran- spires that in connection with the Nanking murders Japan has made the dismissal of General CHANG Haux a vine que non of the settlement. This is the bitterest pill of all for the Central Government to swallow. It has just heaped upon General CHANG Hsun honours for his successful siege of Nauking, and has made him Tutah of the
