 the Yokushen at Kakizaki, are assigned as resting-

 that coal will be furnished at Hakodadi ; but, as it is

 ment may be relieved from the obligation of making 

 that port a coal-depot. 



"VII. It is agreed that henceforth the Chinese 

 language shall not be employed in official commu- 

 nications between the two Governments, except
