whence they preceded to capture the
city. The Chinese forts opened fire
and the Germans replied. killing three
of the garrison, which thereupon fled
In disorder. The Chinese general In
command was captured but afterward
liberated. Several German sailors
were injured by stones flung by the
inhabitants of the villages. In return
for this, the head men of these villages
were beaten with bamboo sticks by or

Pekin, December THE Chinese gov
eminent has caused it to be made
known that up to the time of the Ger
man occupation of Kiao-Chou bay no
claim was made by Germany for repa-
ration as a result of the murder or the
two missionaries, Mics and Hennle, and
that there were no ether differences
between the two governments. Conse-
Quently the government Of China points
out. that the missionary question is re-
garded as q pretext to obtain a naval
station which. it is shown. Germany
long coveted. The Chinese govern
ment, it is said in conclusion, will never
consent to the Germans remaining at
Kiao-Chou bay, as their presence there
deprives China Of a harbor which. since
the war with Japan, has been regarded
as the most suitable naval base Of OPP
