The Consul General at Shanghai (Cunningham) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 3—6:20 a.m.]
147. From Abend, New York Times, it was learned that hostilities had been stopped and that the Japanese Minister had so informed him.
I have confirmed this from the Japanese Consul General who stated that hostilities were stopped because they had attained their object; that the Chinese had retired sufficient distance and unless the Japanese were attacked hostilities would not be resumed. No other particulars available although I was informed by Japanese Consul General that a statement would be issued this afternoon.
Repeated to the Legation, copy to Minister.
