WILD RUMORS AFL OAT
Concerning the Relations of Germany and
China.

Berlin, December 1.-All sorts of wild
rumors are current here and at kiel,
probably based in the main upon the
speech of Emperor William at the open
ing of the Reichstag, as to the relations
between Germany and China. But most
of these are discredited. The National
Heitung has confirmed the statement OF
the Emperor that Germany's only object
in the occupation at Kiao Chau Is to pro-
tect German missionaries in China, and
the alarmist stories are now taken with
a liberal allowance Of salt.
A sensation was caused today by re-
port that the Chinese had massacred two
hundred German sailors belonging to the
German cruiser Division in kiao Chau
bay, but there has been not confirmation
OF this; while the latest dispatches re-
ceived from Admiral Con Dieddich, COM
mander of the Division, which We're dated
the afternoon of November rs, make no
reference to fighting at kiao Chau.
The Berliner Tagplatt is resposible for
She statement that two additional cruisers
are going to Kiao Chau, bringing the
force there up to ten ships. with 1000 men
and 40 guns
The same journal says also that q force
of marines including the crew of the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern is going to
Kiao Chau, put there is no official con-
trmation of these ass rtiOna, al
though they are held to indicate that a
permanent occupation is intended,
especially as it is understood that China
does not insist upon evacuation.
