Berlin. June 1.-THE correspondent here
of the Associated Press saw the Chin 50
ambassador at Berlin to-day. Through IN
interpreter he said:
Il have had no news whatever from
the Chinese government about the Boxer
rebellion. The Boxers are a mere rabble,
robbers. thieves and rascals. There are no
scholars. mandarins or officials among
them. The reports that Chinese soldiers
have attacked the international forces
cannot possibly be true The Empress OPP
poses the Boxers and the troops COLD
not act against her. The Boxers Will soon
be suppressed. They could have been sup
pressed by the Chinese troops without
landing the international forces. The en-
bassies could have been protected by
guards of Chinese if the emb3ssi 5 rad
asked for them
The above information was smilingly
and Systematically given.
The latest official German news from
Tien Tsin. dated he 10TH is viewed az
the foreign Office as corrobOrative of the
reports that the situation has intensified
during the week. The foreign office con-
tinues to believe that the Chinese gov
eminent makes common cause with the
Boxers, and does not believe the govern
ment troops attacked the international
forces, as that would be too crazy

nation in China.
Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
Paris, June 16-News of fighting be
ers has enhanced the interest in the sit
uation in China, which is forming the
leading feature of all the newspapers.
The diplomatic world is naturally very
much stirred up, especially owing to the
contradictory reports regarding the atyi-
tude taken by the Empress Dowager.
Even the japanese and the Chinese lega-
tons appear doubtful, as to the exact
condition of affairs. At the Chinese lega-
ton considerable uneasiness prevails. The
explanation given by the officials there. is
that the Boxers are simply outlaws. who
receive no countenance from the govern
ment and are i'll treating their own
countrymen as well as foreigners.
Members of the legation, whose constant
intercourse with Europeans has brought
them more into line with Western ideas
admit guardedly that the general situa-
ton in China is hardly satisfactory, and
that there is room there for beneficial re-
forms; but they are far from pleased at
abe recent developments which have given
Russia an opportunity to play what will
probably eventually become predominant
ing part in the much-feared European in
tervention

For Europeans. says NJ. La Mare
'the present crisis is the gravest that has
yet occurred. 1t appears TO me that the
Dowager Empress at the present moment
is entirely under the influence of a power
full coalition of literateurs, comprising oil
the influential mandarins at court. who
feel that their former omnipotence has
been shaken by the invasion of the pro-
ducts of Western science. such as the
telegraph and railroad. This coalition has
frightened the Empress by dwelling en-
the importance Of the concessions made
to foreigners as threatening the integrity
of the empire. The present movement Is
a veritable crusad against Western civil
iZation, in which the Empress is an ac-

is being used against foreigners TO be re-
pudiated, should matters not result as il
is hoped they will. The return Of The

press and her court are afraid the Boxers

themselves abandoned by the Empress"
