Peking, June 14.
A mandate issued this morning announcing General Li Yuan-hung's reinstatement as President says:—"In recent years the country has suffered from grievous ills and the people have been subjected to misery time and again. Recently communications have reached me from the two Houses of Parliament and educational, agricultural and commercial institutions requesting me to resume the Presidency in view of the dangerous conditions prevailing. The obvious sincerity of these requests made it impossible for me to decline and accordingly I came to Peking and took over the duties of the President on June 11, I shall do my utmost to act in the interests of the country and the people and I trust that my civil and military colleagues will assist me to the extent of their power The Waichiaopu has not notified the foreign Ministers of President Li Yuan-hung's reinstatement, but will probably officially communicate the above mandate, for the only notification the Diplomatic Corps received when Mr. Hsu Shih-chang retired was the official communication of his retirement mandate.
The following appointments are expected this afternoon; Mr. Sun Tan-lin to be Vice-Minister of the Interior and Mr. Chiang Tien-to Vice-Minister of Commerce, with Mr. Li Cheng as Director of the Wine and Tobacco Bureat.~-Reuter.
