WASHINGTON, April 4. MIR. Tsui Kwo Yin,
the Chinese minister, and suite arrived here
last night from Peru, to which country he
is also the accredited minister plenipoten-
tiary. A reporter called at the legation to-
day, and as the minister could not be seen
called the attention OF Mr.. Ho. an attache,
to telegram from San Francisco, pu lished
in the a ternoon papers, to the effect that
Chinese merchants III San Francisco would
forward to Washington a protest against
the appointment of ex-senator Blair as
minister to China. He, evidently speaking
by authority, said that no information re-
garding such protest had been received, and
that he was confident that should it arrive
the minister would not present it to the
President. He believed Senator Blair would
bs acceptable TO the people and COVE nment
ot China. Senator Blair was among the
Presidents callers to-day He confirmed
the report that he was going to China, but
said he did not expect TO leave for that
country for several eeks yet. He said his
sentiment in regard to the ques ion Of
Chinese immigration had been misreDre-
sented by numher Of newspapers. He
was willing 20 stand by his record on that
question and did not care to answer the
newspaper attacks on him personally.

BERLIN, April Negotiations have
been resumed between the United Ststes
minister, Mr.. Phelps, and Chancellor Won
Caprivi on tie question OF the withdrawal
of the prohibition against American pork
products, and there are more hopeful pros
poets of en- early and successful issue than
recent reports have led the public to be-
lieve. An important indication of the
governments intentions is given in
to-night's North German Gazette. Com
meeting upon an A o lean dispatch pub
lished in Berlin papers headed: mo Pig,
No Beet Root Sugar. the Gazette says
that, contrary to the adverse views ex-
pressed In the dispatch, the Anne. lean gov
ernment is endeavoring by measures Of SAN
itary reform to put an end to the German
embargo upon Amer can pork, and has
adopted the best ald only means to lead to
tho desired agreement.
NOT IN STRAINED POSITION.
Press dispatches representing the German
government as being 10 u forced or cou-
strained position are entirely erroneous
Attempts to awaken abroad groundless
hopes that Germany's action would be in
fiuenced by pressure might add to the dif-
ficulty of the position, but cannot
exercise a decisive influence upon the
governments resolutions. Thus the
Gazette expresses what everybody versed
In the progress of delicate negotia-
tions Knows, viz That Chancellor Won
Capriyi waits a favorable moment to deal
with the question Of repeating that prohibi-
tion, but cannot accede to the American
claims under the appa ent influence of
threats. The public satisfaction over the
admission OF American cattle increases as
the quality of the imports becomes recog-
nized. Hamburg official returAa for
March show that durlHg the month 8l1
American cattle we're imported. il lot Of

ship Amalafi, be added, the five weeks total
promises rapid expansion OF trade. Official
circles refuse TO believe that an economic
war is possible between the United States

will return and attack the British detach-
ment in full force before reinforcements can
reach the scene OF the battle.
Information reached here this afternoon
that Lieut.. Graut's light force OF Indian
troops is now confronted by la ge force
of Manipuris, who, in addition t. being well
