A London Times Correspondents ON the
situation la CHINA

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Pekin corre-
spondent of the Times says:
The Chinese are provisioning Port
Arthur, and will reconstruct the forts
there, Russia supervising and furnish
ing the money. In the face OF this in
dication of permanent occupation the
necessity of safeguarding our position
in the FAR east increases.
The Russo-Chlnese bank, which is
the agent of the Russian government
has offered 10 China 100, 900 Berdan
rifles. with payment five years hence.
China has accepted the proposal.
According to a dispatch To the Times
from Kobe. Japan. the news from Port
Arthur has greatly disturbed the Jap
anese.ministry.
The Japanese newspapers, the dis
patch says. are noDplussed at the stu
alton in the far east. while the min
istry is involved in domestic troubles
connected with its taxation proposals,
to which the diet is hostile.
The Times, ia an editorial on the situ-
alton, sarcastically asks whether the
German press in claiming Ruseo-Ger-
man entente in China, and Emperor
William. in his speech at Graudenz, an
ticipa,ed Russias demand Tor the re-
moval of German drill sergeants from
the Chinese army. Itadds, with refer
euce To the demand for the dismissal Of
the English engineers: Our Pebin cor
respondent says China is hesitatlng.
and possibly we may be able to appeal
| IN natives mt pekiu which will
strengthen China's Discrimination te
comply with the Russian request for
the dismissal OF the Britishers."

Part Ia the Movement Now Going On.
WAsuISGroN, Dec. 3.-lt is under
stood that the authorities here nave
been unoilicially sounded n To the at
titudc of the United States toward the
complications in the far east with
view To learning whe Their American IN
tcrests in China were regarded rs sur
ficient To warrant any active steps by
this government.
From what sources The inquiries
have come is not disclosed. If from
Great Britain. il must have come
through Col. Hay, the American am
bassador, as the British officials here
have received no Instructions as To the
Chinese situation. 1t is well UNDER
stood. however, that Great Britain
would look with favor on any active
step by the United States which would
serve as check upon the advances OF
Germany and Russia.
The British interests in China are
ten times greater than those OF Ger
many, Russia and the United States,
and yet. with Germany and Russia
firmly located on Chinese soil, ureat
Britain is left in a sort of cul de sac.
1t is known, also, that the Chinese au'
thorit;es would welcome n movement
by the United States. and that this has
been communicated to officials here.
Although these soundings-for they
amount To nothing more as yethav
not taken official form, they have been
sufficient to gain a pretty general un-
Outstanding as To the attitude of this
government.
This. in brief. is that the United
States has no interest in the territorial
extension now going on in China; That
She will not land at any of the coast
ports of China, as Germany aud Rus
STA have done, and that her only con-
cern is to guard establis hed American
interests in China.
These American interests appear To
be much greater than is generally
known. There are the following
American treaty ports in China: Can
ton. Chee-Foo, Ching Tang, Ching
King, Foo Chow, Hai-Plong. Hanlsow,
Hollow. lchang, kewkiang. Lung
Chow, Mengtsu. New Chang, Ningpo,
Pakhoi, Shanghai. ASH. SooChow, Swa-
tow, Tieu-fsin, Wenchow, Wuhu and
. three other ports on the West river o
Cantol. recently added. AT each 0
these places there are American settle
ments and an American reservation
within which Americans may owl
property and try their civil and crimi
nal cases before their own courts, con
