SITUATION IN TIE EAST
Europe Anxious to Learn the Attitude OF

News from Port Arihur-kusstan News
papers Ironical at Germany's Expense

Vienna. December 2-The Duetsche
Zeitung says: The United States, which
from its geographical position has a
greater interest in the opening up OF
China than all European powers togeth-
er, cannot possibly consent to its parti-
ton or to division into spheres of influ-
ence without having voice in the mat
ter. 1t would be great mistake TO un-
derestimate the strength OF the United
States, and a partition of China would
he impossible without Americas approval
of the partition. The European powers
will do well to give timely attention to
the just aspirations and interests Of the
United States.
London, December 23-The Pekin cor
respondent of The Times says: The
Chinese are provisioning Port Arthur
and will reconstruct the forts there,
Russia supervising and furnishing the
money. In the face of this indication of
permanent occupation, the necessity of
Safeguarding our position in the far east
Increases.
The Russo-Chnese bank, which is the
agent of the Russian government, has Of
fered to Chona 10000 Berdan rifles with
payment five years hence. China has ac-
cApted the proposal.
According to, a dispatch to The Times
from Kobe, Japan, the news from Port
Arthur mas greatly disturbed the Japa-
neSe ministers. Long cabinet councils
have been held and the high military Of
fieials have attended.
The japanese newspapers, the dispatch
says, are non-plussed at the situation in
the far east, while the ministry is in
v3lved in dometsic troubles connected
with its taxation proposals, to which the
diet is hostile.
London, December 23.-Some of the
Russian papers are ironical at Germany s
expense. The Bourse Gazette. of Odes-
sa,, hints that by the time Prince Henry
and the German squadron reach China
they may find the Tsung-Li-Yamen has
prepared an unexpected reception for in
truSive guests.
