Persuaded That the Occupation of Port
Arthur Was in Her Interest.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-The correspondent
of The Times at Pekin says: '.China
approves of the Russian feet wintering
at Port Arthur, being persuaded that
this action is taken in the interest of
China and necessitated by the German
occupation of Kiao-Chau."
A dispatch to The Times from
Shanghai says the occupation of Port
Arthur by Russia cannot fail to provoke
popular indignation in Japan, where
public opinion is already excited over
the Kiao-Chau affair. s~
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Shanghai the high officials
of the Chinese court have advised the
emperor, in view Of further compica-
tions, to remove the court to Marking,
the Southern capital. The dispatch
says it is reported there that overtures
have been made to England to exercise
protection over the Yang-Tse valley
and the West river, and that numerous
rumors are current regarding the activ.
ity of the British squadron in Chinese
waters. J.
The Standard and Daily Telegraph
and other London papers strongly urge
the government to protect England's
interests in China.
