ENGLAND SULTENATUNI
She Demands a Settlement of
the Chung King Affair.
rAorAI sHENG TO BE DEGRADED.

1lIs Chung King to BE Saluted With TWEEN
ty-one Guns and Her Owners Must Re
ceive n Money indemnify = Otherwise
RcrrIsals on the Fart of the British
Fleet Are Threatened.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 6.-The British Of
Ecials here have sent an ultilnatum to
the viceroy demanding q settlement of
the Chung King affair within seven
days. The British demands are that
Taotai Sheng be dismissed and degraded,
the Chung King is to be saluted with 81
guns from the Tailu forts and money
indemnity is to be paid to the owners of
the Chung King.
IF these demands are not complied
with in the specified time reprisals upon
the part OF the British fleet are threat
ened.
The Chung King affair is one of the
remarkable incidents of the war be-
tween China and Japan and may have
Serious results.
On Aug. 4, last, Tien-Tsin dispatch
announced that 13 japanese soldiers
who had been forcibly removed by the
Chinese from the British steamship
Chung King were returned immediate
ly upon the viceroy, Lii Hung Chang
being notified, and it was added that
the viceroy apologized to the British
consul.
On Aug. &, however, a dispatch from
Shanghai announced the arrival there
of the steamship Chung King, and the
captain of that vessel gave his version
of the affair, which gave it a more seri-
Gus aspect. The captain said that
while his ship was at Tungku, on the
Gulf of Pechili, Chinese soldiers went
on board of her for the purpose of seiz-
ing the japanese passengers. They
found on board that steamship go Japa-
nese, mostly women and children, and
at once began to hunt them down.
The Chinese pursued the Japanese all
over the vessel, bound them hand and
foot as soon as caught and flung them
over on the wharf. Lii Hung Chang,
eventually upon the protests of the
British consul, commanded the jap
anese to be returned on board the Chung
King and ordered the Chinese soldiers
who had made the raid to be severely
punished

WASHINGTON, Nov. While the
German government is accusing our
cattlemen of introducing Texas fever
into Germany they have themselves to
contend with another formidable cattle
disease winch has broken out again
among the farm animals In central Ger
many, notably in voigtland and Sake
Altenburg. This disease is known as
the flaps and foot-rot, and United States
Consul Stephen at Annaburg, who re-
ports the outbreak to the state depart
ment, says it is the more unfortunate
for the farmers there as only two years
ago the same diseases reduced the stock
considerably and as the drouth of 1898,
with its subsequent fodder scarcity,
compelled the farmers to slaughter large
numbers of their cattle.
Though the local authorities are doing
their utmost to prevent an extension of
tie disease, it appears they have not
succeeded, for nearly every new issue of
the official papers mention new cases
The frequent appearance of these dis
cases in the same locality is certainly no
evidence of u healthy condition of Ger
