Berlin, June 2S.-The Chinese trou-
bies have almost completely swept the
SoLsh African war from public atten-
ton. Even the latest Pretoria news
went uncommented upon except by
the militia. About Chinese events, the
Foreign Office uses great retcence, and
above all studiOusly avoids admitting
that the present events mean an actual
and probably bitter and protracted war
with Chlua This may be partly owing
TO the attacks of the radical and So
ciaIist press which maintains that the
present rising of Chinese against the
foreign devils is directly or indirectly
q due to the German seizure or klao
Chou. II this the papers are strength
ened by the public utterances OF the
German missionary bishop OF Shah
Tulg. Won Amer, who recently de-
scribed the disastrous effect upon mis-
sionar.- work of the KiaO Chou selZ-
ure.
In political circles here it is known
that the foreign Office was quite sur
prised by the Increasingly serious CHAR
acter OF the Chinese uprising. Whlle
it is true Baron Won Ketteler, the
German minister at Pekin, sent two
containing alarming adVices from Jhe
German consuls throughout China and
predicting serious trouble before long,
not much Importance was paid here 10
this report, because Ketteier was new
in Pekin. But though the emperor and
Count Won BuelOw, the minister of FOR
eign affairs, do not attach much mn
portance to the news from China, they
are now thOrCuLhly aroused. His ma
1esty declared Friday at Kiel that
German interests in China under nc
circumstances must be allowed to sui
fer, no matter how great the sacrifice
Future is Vague.
The bulk Of the German press takes
the same view. The Kreuz Zeitung
prints an interesting editorial, saying;
1T is quite uncertain what viii bt
the final outcome of the troubles II
China Tt viii be impossible to re-es
tablish a vigorous authoritative cen
tral government at Pekin, such as tn,
powers desire and will need. Presum
ably they will be obliged to enlarge anC
give definite shape TO the sphere of in
terest policy and to further diYid
China, either with or without leaving
a nominal central government at Pc
kin. To several Of the powers the pres
ent crisis came too quickly, which fur
Their endangers the situations"
The foreign Office says that its lates
news from Tien Tsin is substantial,
the same as that set forth in the state
ment of Right Hon. William St. Johl
BrOderick. under secretary of state 70
foreign affairs in the house of com
mons London. The foreign Off1c
states, however, that the Chinese sol
diers have made desperate resistant
to the international force, which agai
proves that 1t will be necessary for tn
powers to continue their present polio
of jointly enforcing order in China, an
also the necessity for harmonious &C
ton between the powers"
Lord Cough, the British charge dat
flares in Berlin, today said to the COZ
respondent of the Associated Pres
that he doubted if the powers had ye
exchanged views concerning the fUtur
state of the Chinese government G
