The State Department has determined that the six Chinese charged with sedition and arrested in the foreign settlement at Shanghai do not fall under article 18 of the treaty of 1858. The department is therefore not competent to authorize or concur in the individuals’ surrender or to interfere in the judicial procedure or imposition of sentences. This case will not set a precedent for sheltering treasonous Chinese citizens in the Shanghai foreign settlement.
