Peking, February 19, 1895.

I sent yesterday a telegram to Japan stating that Li Hung-chang had been named plenipotentiary. His honors were restored to-day. He will hand over his duties as viceroy. He will be here the 21st instant. Japan was asked to name a place of meeting of plenipotentiaries. His credentials will be full powers to conclude and to sign peace treaty.
