aERMANr,s PURPOSES IN CHINA.
A Number or warships Going There to Rein
force the German Squadron.
Special Gable Dsspatoh to TIVE SUI.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-It 10 reported that It Is tho
intention or tho Government TO despatch the
warships Deutschland, Kaiserin Augusta and
Gefon TO the China station to reinforce the
squadron OF Admiral Diederich, which q few
days ago seized Kiao Chou Bay on the Shantung
coast.
Tho report socms to be true, and 1t is probable
that the vessels will sail on Dec. 10. 1t 10 pos.
sible that the barbctte ship Bayern viii accom-.
pany the other warships. 1t is further alleged
that the new contingent will be commanded by
Prince Henry Of Prussia. brother Of Emperor
William, but this is conjectural.
Whether Germany will retain Kiao Chou Bay
depends largely upon tho attitude Of Russia,
which country. 1t is understood. has already
acquired from China the right for her warships
to winter in tho bay. 1t appears to be n fact, how
ever, that Germany will not abandon her inten.
ton to obtain a foothold at Kiao Chou Bay or
elsewhere In China.
1t becomes increasingly evident that the re-
cent murder OF two German Missionaries fur.
n.shed a pretext which the Government had
long awaited.
In face of the more important prospects, in
China the Haytian affair has recedcd into tho
background. 1t 10 now announced that tho
training ships Charlotte and Gneisenau arc
quite adequate to enforce the German claims at
Port-au.P Prince.
1t is concurrently explained that Count
Schwerin. the German Minister to Hayti, will
not demand Naturalization for the Empire. but
only for Herr Lueders personally.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Nov. 23.-The Daily Graphic will to-
morrow print q letter from a resident OF the Is
land OF Guernsey recording a report that is wide
spread in the Channel Islands to the effect that
Great Britain contemplates ceding the islands
to Franco. The writer says that public opinion
in the Channel Islands Is much excited at the
threat Of the Government to abandon the
islanders to their fate II they do not bring the
local militia up to the War Office requirements.
AS these compulsorily enlisted forces have
always hitherto oheerfully done what was
exacted of them the islanders cannot fathom
this sudden movement on the part Of tho
Government. which has come as u bolt
from the blue, except on the supposition that
the islands are to be handed over to Franco as
tho result of q deal giving England a free hand
in Egypt or in the Niger territories. The writer
Indignantly declares that not one in q hundred
of the population wishes to change his nation
atty.
The Graphic declares that it is impossible
that there is any real foundation for the fears
expressed by the writer of the letter. and ex-
presses the hope that the Government will
promptly reassure the islanders.

Part or AiEiera 10 Ne Abandoned TO tho En-
croRchiuE SiIsaisaippi River.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 23.-Tho caving in OF
the river bank at Algiers, the trans Mississippi
district Of New Orleans. has been going on for
several days. To-day largo assures appeared in
Delarondc street. and several houses were
moved back to prevent them from going into
the river.
An examination made by the New Orleans
Levee Board shows that the caving Ia due to the
presence of quicksand under Algiers Point,
which is being washed out by the river. In tho
event of a storm and much wave washing, tho
chances are that a considerable area of land
would cave into the river. The Levee Board
will abandon tho square OF ground between
Morgan and Delaronde streets and the half
square between Bercny and Seguin in order Ito
assure a safe street. 1t seems probable that the
ferry landings and the rest of the land of the
Grand Isle Railroad will cave into the river.
