AN SORTS OF WILD RUMoRs. -:
Caused by Emperor Williams Speech Re-
garding German Chinese Situation.

Caused by Emperor williams Speech Re-
garding German- Chinese Situation.
Berlin, Dec. ALL sorts of wild ru-
mors are current here and at Kiel
probably based in the main upon the
speech of Emperor William at the
opening of the reichstag as to the re-
lations between Germany and China.
The National Zeitung has confirmed
the statement of the emperor that Ger
many's only object in the occupation at
Kiao Chau is to protect German mis-
sionaries in China, and the alarmist or
gans are now disbelieved.
The Berliner Tageblatt is responsible
for the statement that two additional
cruisers are going to Kiao Chau, bring
ing the force up to ten shius with 1900
men and 14O guns. The same journal
says also that force Of marines, in
cluding the crew of the Imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, is going to Kiao Chau,
but there is no official confirmation of
these assertions.
