WHAT THE KAISER REALLY SAID.
Would Wreak Such Vengeance on China as
Had Never Before Been Seen.

Copyright. 1900, by the Associated Press.)
Berlin, July THE news from china
overshadow5 everything here. The usually
quiet seIf-cCntained German nation, both
high and low, has become deeply nervous.
Every bit Of news from China is Instantly
upon heatedly everywhere.
Opinions withal differ radically among
the masses. but the majority believes
with the Government hat the Chinese
situation is most serious. These results,
too, from Emperor William and a num-
Der OF The Cabinet Ministers having post
p0ned their summer vacation because it
is expected that before long the weigbtiest
decisions must lie taken.
His Majesty's Chinese reward dispatch
IS commented on by the press synpathe-
tically. The Tage5latt says:
This manifestation Of the solidarity Of
the interests Of all the civilized nations
shows the broad0ess Of the Emperor's
views and sentiments.'
Emperor William Will, on Monday, ac-
company the German iron-clad division,
bound for China, into the North Sea. 1t
is known in the Emperor's encourage
that His Majesty, in his usual iIapulsive
way. not only gave utterances to many
undiplomatic thoughts and opinions on re
ceipt Of the news OF the assassination OF
Baron Won Ketteler, the late German
Minister at Pekin, but could with difficult
~ be restrained from following tho die
tates Of his heart and forthwith ordering
a regular army corps to be modified and
| sent TO China. The more sober views Of
the Minister CT Foreign Affairs, Count
Won BueIoW, prevailed only after several
lengthy conferences.
Among those who We're ear witnesses
of the Emperor's remarks to the marines
| at Wiihelnshaven, previous to their de-
parture for China, it is known that his
address was much more strongly worded
than officially reported, and the neWspa-
pcrs of Wilhelrnshaven and that vicinity
publish the original version, III which was
the following:
4 hope to re-estaDlish peace With
the sword and take vengeance in a man
ner never before seen by the world. |
send you to eradicate the dishonor done
TO the Fatherland by barbariars. I shall
not rest unit the German colors fy from
the Pekin wall"
A numbe Of interesting press utter
ances appear today. The semi-official
Post has an inspired article in which The
| reasons why Germany cannot couDsel
Russia to accent Japanese intervention
are set forth in detail. The writer says:
The first principle Of German policy
is to dc nothing that could be interpreted
as an act CT craftsmanship against Russia
All attempts by England to induce Ger
many to abandon her neutral position to-
ward the diplomatic negotiations now il
progress, Will fail. That England is de-
sirous OF Japanese intervention is com
prehensible. in view Of England's weak
military position and her rivalry witt
/ Russia.
For Germany matters are different
The abandonment Of our traditional
friendship With Russia would be too in
adequately rewarded by England's pla-
tonic APPROVAL"

(Bv the Associated Press.)

Washington, July IA cablegram was
received at the State Department TINS
morning from Consul General GoOdnoW at
Shanghai, dated July It'll, saying that the
Legations were standing on the third in
stant and that the recent attack of the
Boxers had been slight. They seemed
disposed to adopt starvation methods.
The certain affect OF Consul Goodnow's
dispatch will be to cause the officials
here, and without doubt, the European
Governments to redouble their exertions
to push forward a force to Pekin. The
main hope for speedy action is still in
Japan. According to the Japanese Lega-
tions, which has late advices from To-
Eio. g. 600 Japanese soldiers are now on
Chinese soil. If this report is true, the
japanese Government has accomplished
much more than was expected and the
officials here see no reason why the ad-
vance on Pekin should not begin imme-
Giately. 1t is said that Japan is not
expected to make this campaign single
handed. The ~nternationa forces at Taku
and Tien Tsin will cooperate to the ut
most with the Japanese army corps iii
the movement on Pekin. What form that
cooperation shall take is not known yet;
such details are left to the commanders
in the field.
1t is said that Japan IS to be compen-
stated for the work she is about to ur-
dertake in the common cause. Her mil
itary preparations are very extensive and
the campaign is certain to involve heavy
cost. 1t would be unjust to expect Japan
to meet this herself. She has no mis-
sionaries in China, and consequently is
perhaps less interested selfshly than any
Of the powers in the terrible happenings
in Shan Tung and Pekin. 1t is CONJECTURE
cd that this question of compensation is
after all what has caused the apparent
delay in the resumption of the campaign
against Pekin, but it is believed thu. this
having now been adjusted, military oper-
ations will progress rapidly.
Ii the powers have agreed upon the
form Japan's indemnity is to assume, the
facts cannCt be elected here. The i'm
preston, however, is that there will be {
money indemnity, the belief being based
on the fact that such is the only form
of indemnity SO far suggested that would
be the least likely to arouse international
jealousies. Either China, itself, or tht
powers collectively, would have to providt
for the payment Of this indemnity, though
even in the first case it is probable tina
the powers contribution would be in Ii.
nature of a loan and in the end Chin;
would be obliged to make good the ad
vance through some form of taxation.
The State Department has not yet heart
directly from the Russian Government a
to Japan's proposition to supply the ma
jor portion Of force required for the Pe
kin campaign, but it does not in the leas
doubt that Russia makes no objection. i
fact the department has gathered tina
all Of the European Governments hav
taken a similar view of the Japanes
proposition and it is disposed to fec
some pride in the fact that it was tEroug
the advances made in the first place b
the United States Government that thi
happy accord has been brought about.
