PARIS, Dec. 3.-The situation in China
is attracting great attention in political
circles in all the European capitals.
This is not only because Of the fact that
several powers have made demands
upon the Chinese government regarding
the treatment OF their respective sub
jects in that country, which the present
condition OF affairs prevents being set
tied, but because extreme Importance
is attached to the reports that England
has come to an understanding with
China by which mutual aid will be rem
dered in the event of certain contin-
gencies.
CHINA NOT ALARMED.
L'Elaire today publishes an interview
with the Chinese charge d'affaires here.
The representative OF the Chinese gov
ernment expresses the most implicit
confidence that his government will
have no occasion to take any extreme
measures to suppress an attempt at a
general uprising. The charge d'affaires
declares that news lately received from
China regarding disturbances in several
parts of the country, particularly in the
north, are greatly exaggerated. He
further says that he is not aware that
any power has asked explanations from
China. "We are quite ready to assure
the powers that we have done, and will
continue to do, the utmost to protect
the Europeans in China"

claims that Russia is encroaching on
her territory.

lieve that any Europeans were killed.
Six thousand picked men which the
