BERLIN, Jan. 2.-It has been an- nounced that China has yielded to the demands of Baron Heyking, German Ambassador at Peking, for the dismiss sal of the commandant of the Chinese garrison at Tsaochau, province of Shantung, because of the use of the insulting language to the German mis- sionaries there. The Chinese Govern ment has telegraphed a dismissal of the commandant.
 According to a dispatch on Satur- day, Baron Heyking in making his de- mand for the dismissal of the com mandant, insisted that a copy of the telegram of dismissal should be laid before him by o'clock the next even ing.

MUCH INTEREST M
 TIE DEVELOPMENTS
 M THE FAR EAST.
General Miles Says the Policies Being h. dHgUrated Are More Significant Than Any Military Movement in the
 Worlds History.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The Herald's S Washington correspondent sends the following: Naval and military officers stationed in Washington are displaying as much interest in developments in the far east as are the diplomatists whose countries are directly concerned in the matter.
 Major-G General Miles, commanding the army, sees the ultimate extension of the influence of European powers in South America General Miles only recently returned from an inspection of the various armies of Europe, and his statements are well worthy of con- sideration. In discussing the situation with me to-day he said:
 'The measures and policies being in augurated by at least three of the great powers of the world at the pres ent time are more far-reaching, more significant than any movement of mili- tary character in the whole history of the world. They affect the commerce of the world and the future If millions of the human race more than any event which has yet occurred.
 If a few of the great powers can dismember country occupied by vast ly superior numbers, to their own az grandizement and in their own com mercial and political interest, will such action not, in the near future, serious ly affect the welfare, and especially the foreign commerce of the United States? The influence will likely be felt first by our neighbors in South America. Hence the words of Washington seem to be doubly wise when he warned us against foreign entanglements, and, at the same time, admonished that in time of peace prepare for war;
 Military men who understand the European situation say there is a grave liability of European war result ing from the dismemberment of China. In such an event, they say that Fur key must be considered as an import ant factor. Official information has reached Washington which shows that Germany has entered into a warm friendship with Turkey, and that the Sultan's government may be depended upon to join Germany, Austria and Italy, which form a triple alliance, in any war which may occur in the near future.

PANAMA, Jan. 2.-The trouble be- tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua has taken new phase, according to ad- vices from the Herald's correspondent in Managua. The Costa Rican Consul to Managua has been sentenced to five years imprisonment, and has fled.
 The Costa Rican Consul to Man agua, Senor Eduardo Beeche, was ar rested in that city on September IT of last year and imprisoned. The charge against him was complicity in a revolutionary movement against President Zelaya. Senor Beeche's ex- equatur was canceled at the time of his arrest. Senor Beeche was in prison for several weeks, despite representa- tions made by the Costa Rican Gov ernment to Nicaragua 10 secure his release. Costa Rica demanded that proofs against her Consul be pro- duced. but the demand went unheed- ed, though finally he was released on bail.
 Considerable friction between the two Governments was caused. and this was followed by an interchange of several sharp notes. There were reports that both Nicaragua and

This interview Is protected by copyright, ana all rights of reproduction until twelve hours after its publication in 'he Herald are reserved :> PEKING, Jan. 2.-AccordIig to ln- .structions received from the Herald l obtained an interview with Ii Hung Chang and told him that the New York Herald offered him the publicity Q of it's columns for any statement that China might care to make to the western world in respect to the actual crisis in the East.
 The great statesman received the Heralds correspondent very cour- teously, and replied that China was willing and even anxious that western people should understand thoroughly matters as they were, and that he could not wish for a better medium for presenting China's case, both to America and Europe, than that of fered him. His EXcellency then spoke as follows:
 . "The fOrcible occupation of Kiao- chau by Germany is a direct violation of existing treaties and of interna- ;ti0naI law. The pretext made for this c7GI O1 " cl4 Ncio bAlE ilihINACl O1 lNO lA14o- ;: :sionaries by robbers in the interior province of Shantung. The Chinese '*Governnient offered immediate and full redress for this outrage-the pun ishment of the criminals, dismissal of local officials and large compensation for all losses.
 Anxious to avoid hostile acts, the . Chinese troops were withdrawn from Kiaochau when the Germans landed, and in spite of the strong public feeling prevailing throughout the country for the defense of Chinese territory against aggression, my Government has not sent endorsements to Kiaochau.
 Outlaws exist in China, as in all countries. Neither treaties, law or re- ligion can entirely suppress the crime anywhere in the world, though they condemn and punish the criminals. There are places in every country where lawlessness abounds, and to such place in Shantung German mis- sionaries determined to go, knowing that the inhabitants themselves were often victims of these bandits. , Unfortunately, China has not yet re- covered from the effects of the late war, and our country requires a period of peace to carry out the work of re- form lately begun.
 of late years, from instruction and observation, the Chinese have come to regard the countries of the Western world as models, and even greater in justice than in arms. Is it just to op- press us while we are struggling to emerge from the restraints of our an- cient civilization, while improvement and progress steadily continue? Should China be distressed by having her zshOres invaded and her territory occu- pied because of an occurrence which Western countries would deal with by law and not by war-an unexpected in- cident, deplored by my Government and followed by full redress?
 j.: Our desire is to preserve our fer .rltory intact and to steadily improve it .a;s field open to all countries equally for the development of commerce."

Costa Rica were quietly preparing for war, and these reports, I am able to state, were not altogether unfounded.
 Finally, despite the protests from Costa Rica, the trial of Consul Beeche by court-martial began. President Zelaya swept aside Costa Rica's de- mands. and few days ago the court martial sentenced the Consul to five years imprisonment This sentence was kept secret until yesterday.
 Senor Beeche in some way learned of this sentence about a week ago. and immediately left Nicaragua though there was a report that he would be pardoned. It is supposed
