MORE INDEMNITY FOR JAPAN

Surrender of Lnlo Tang Compensated by »n Additional Ted Million. London,'May 7.—The Times says It is reported that In consideration of her abandonment of all claims to Liao Tung Japan will receive an additional indemnity of £10,000,000. In oth.er respects, the surrender to Russia is unconditional. The Times says: “Japan is to be congratulated upon her good sense and the self-control of her statesmen. We reJotce that she recognized the wisdom of not pushing her pretensions too far. Russia is to be congratulated upon the success of her diplomacy. Events show how prudent it was for Japan to compel China to accept definite terms before replying to the powers.” The Daily News says: “The coalition has made a deplorable mistake in coercing Japan, but it is enough for us to know that we did not share the mistake.” The Standard says: “As the best way out of an awkward difficulty, the three protesting powers may be fairly congratulated on the issue of their intervention. They have really done Japan a good turn, however, by preventing her from acquiring an expensive and valuable Incumbrance.”
