Tokyo, Jan. 26.
The vernacular papers are divided in their opinion regarding the despatch of, British troops to China. They are mainly sympathetic but some, notably the "Nichi Nichi," jeviticize what they consider to be arbitrary action" on the part of Britain, Ths only point on which the papers are unanimous is in questioning the size of the force, which they consider too large if purely for the refection of Shanghai, although the it is generally believed that Japan is folly prepared and is best placed to despatch troops at short notice if and when real danger is imminent, though she naturally hesitates court Chinese disfavour by sending them before they are absolutely necessary.—Reuter,
