This Despite Russian
Massacres at Amur.
Troops Continue to Pour Into
Manchuria.

London, September ss.-4 a. m.-It
seems to be generally believed through
out Europe that Germany purposely pro-
posed her demand that the anti-roreign
leaders should be surrendered before ne
gotiatlons were commenced, with a
view Of delaying any general accep tanee
of her proposal until Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee should arrive at
Pekin. A despatch to the Daily Tele-
graph from Washington, asserts that the
United States government has politely
declined to agree to Germany IS proposal
on this very ground.
In any event, with Count Won Wal
dersee and Ii Hung Chang both journey
ing northward, matters must soon reach
a crisis.
The manner of Earl Lis reception
seems to confirm the suspicious existing
in Shanghai regarding his close under
standing with Russia About 1000 Rus
sian troops and all thel principal IRusslan
officers met him at Chung LiaDg Chen,
half way to lien Tsin. A long confer
ence was held at which no representa-
tive of any power was present. This re-
markable friendship exists at time
when Two continents are ringing with
the story of massacres by ths Russians
in Amur.
The Moscow correspondent Z Of the
Standard reverting to the subject Of the
massacres this morning, says:
From a recent visitor to the Amur
region, learn that massacres are the or
der Of the day with the troops that are
overrunning Manchuria. The orders are
issued by Gen. Grodokoff.
But 1t is quite certain that Emperor
Nicholas must be ignorant Of their ma
ture.
My informant has seen a series of
kilograms from one Manchurian comman-
der, everyone of which beseeches tnat he
be allowed to spare peaceabIe citizens;
but the Russian Indifference to the lives
of 2 the common herd, is still OF a truly
oriental type"
The same correspondent asserts that
troops by the wholesale continue to pour
into Manchuria.

dispatches, assumed the seals OF the vice.

are busy raising 5000 foreign drilled

Yung, who was the Chinese general at
Kiao Chou when the Germans seized
that place.
1t is reported that Liu Kun VI, viceroy
of Nankin, alarmed at the prospects of
the German fleet ascending the Yang Use
Kiang, is placing distractions in the
channel below the Kiang Yin forts and
sending troops to the northeast Of Kiang
Su for fear the Germans may land troops
there to attack Using Khan Fu.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post expresses the opinion that
Germany's policy may yet Iead to a ris-
ing in Central China.
The Standard has a Taku telegram as
serting that, as means Of averting
punishment, the acting governor Of Pao
Ting Flu has posted a proclamation or.
dering the suppression Of Boxers.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Daily News cites the opinion of high
foreign official, that the Emperor and
Empress Dowager win, under the pres
