Pekin, March 31.-Disturbances in the
province of Shan Tung during the whole
winter has been causing serious ankle
ty, and has eliminated in the mprison-
ment of a German priest at the town of
Thine. A German naval patrol, con-
sisting of an officer and six men landed
at Kiao- Chou and advanced a short dis
tance inland. This patrol was met by a
detachment of Chinese soldiers, who
fired upon the Germans. The latter re-
turned the fire, killing several Chinese,
but were obliged to retire. The German
admiral landed a stronger force to re-
store order. The presence of nearly the
whole German fleet at Kiao-Chou indi-
Gates the possibility of extensive opera
tions, and the Chinese are in conse-
quence seriously alarmed. Tsung Lii va
men, in order to show his desire to re-
move all possible causes of friction, has
dismissed three magistrates.

while the hospital train is carrying the
wounded back to Manila.
