Believed That the tznr Is Fostering
UprisinSs In China.
Washington, June 7.-Wellman's dis
patchto Herald: Russian in
trigue is at the bottom of the present
anti-foreign insurrection in China. II
was thru Russian machination that the
queen dowager was led to encourage
the Boxers to make demonstration
of force. Empress Ts An is one she
devil. The gravest anxiety as 10 the
future OF the complication in China is
felt at the European embassies and le-
cations here, and it is from one of these
that the Information given In this dis
patch was obtained. Our own govern
ment has exceedingly meager advices
| from China, but the embassies and le-
cations are better supplied.
Germany, Great Britain and Japan
have thorough understanding con
cerning the Russian plot. They will
stand together in resistance to the ex-
pected cncroachments OF the great
Eurasian power. If Russia seizes Pek-
ling they will protest and demand evac-
uation. II necessary they will meet
force with force. Germany is the lead,
er Of this tacit alliance of the three ma :.
tions most directly interested in
China.
Tho there is great anxiety as to the
]outcome of this pro- Russian conspir-
acy the most conservative diplomats do
4 not believe there will be war between
i the powers. 1t is we'll known that 1t is
the Russian policy to pursue aggression
A Just as FAR as possible without rup-
i ture of the peace. and no farther. Act
a cordingly it is believed there Will be no
a Russian occupation of Pelsing. or II
4 such occupation shall be necessary in
4 order to res tore order thai the czar's
4 troops will be Withdrawn upon joint de-
mand of the powers.
4 The Russian plot. as it is understood
|among European diplomatists in Wash
4 ington. was to stir up the anti-foreisn
4 elements Of the population, and under
/. cover Of disorder To land troops which
4 should forever remain in the Chinese
4 capital, permitting Russia gradually to
leXtend her suZerairty over the empire
d Thru the connivance of the vicious
s. |cucen dowaSer.
Tsi An is Of rabid pro-Russian ten
4 denotes. and she bitterly hates the Ger
mans and the English.
n British diplomacy has been complete
5Ily outwtted in Chinese affairs. and
from this fact observant diplomats ar
