BY the Powers to Establish heaithiuI Cond''
ton in China, Advises Germany.

Berlin June 1O.-The situation IN
China is regarded here as OF the Ut
most Importance. Though the foreign
Office has been rather uncommunicatiVe
throughout the week, enough reilaple
information has leaked out to show
that the whole government, with the
Emperor and the minister of foreign
affairs. Count Won Buelow. leading
consider the suppression OF the anti
foreign movement in China as rcquis-
ite to a possible reJuvenatlon III emma,
and certainly to the establishment or
healthy commercial conditions there.
Germany is, therefore, in favor Of
harmonious joint action by all the
powers interested in China without per
hitting any single power or group Of
powers to reap selfish advantages.
Thus far the German government is
not in possession of official or other
wise reliable information that any
power is attempting to get ahead of
the rest, nor that the Dowager Empress
really favors the Boxer movement. The
failure of the Chinese troops to subdue
the movement results, it is said here,
simply from the usual procrastination
of the Chinese government and the
cowardice of the Chinese army and its
commanders.
Germany, at all events, will vigor-
ously exert herself with the other pow
ers to put an end to the present I'M
bearablc situation. His Majesty's in
structions are that, while Germany will
in now way put herself unduly for
ward and is willing to Loyalty cooper
ate with the rest of the powers, she
will under no circumstances permit the
present conditions to go on. even if
thereby suspicion should be aroused
that Germany is seeking separate aims
which. of course, is said to be absurd.
