Spare Nobody" He Tells
His Troops
Fierce Address Made to Departing
Army.
Directs Them to Take
No Prisoners.
The Semi-Official Report Some
what Milder.

Berlin, July 97.-The Loka1 Anzeiger
says the Emperor when addressing the
troops at Bremen Haven before they sailed
for China, referrel first to the response
bil1ties which had sprung up for the Ger
man empire abroad during the last de-
cade.
Gelmany's troops, he said, must now
show in the face of the enemy whether
their t6ndencies-the tendencies VIII ich
German military methods had followed
were right. Their comrades of the ma
rines had already proved that the train
ing principles on which that arm of the
service had been built up were right
ones; and now it was for the troops to do
the same.
'Every German has been filed with
PRIDE con tinued His Majesty, Ito learn
that the highest praise bestowed upon
German warriors has come from thu
mouths of foreign leaders. The task be-
fore you is a great one. That a people
like the Chinese should cast to the winds
international rights a thousand years old
and treat with scorn the sanctity of an
ambassador and the rights of hospitality
in manner so horrible is unprecedented
in the history of the world. Every civil
lied government pot founded on Chris
tianity is sure to be brought to naught.
$50 send you out. May you all prove
your German efficiency. devotion and
bravery, bear joyfully all discomforts and
uphold the honor and glory of our arms
You must set an example of discipline,
self domination and self control.
IF you close with the enemy, remem-
Der this, spare nobody. Make no prison
ers. Use your weapons so that for a
thousand years hence no Chinaman will
dare look askance at any German. Open
the way for civilization once for ALL"
''The blessing OF the Lord be with you.
The prayers of the whole people viii ac-
company you in all your ways. My best
wishes for yourselves and for the success
Of your arms Will ever follow you.
''Give proofs OF your courage no matter
where, May the blessing of God rest on
your banners; and may He vouchsafe to
you to find a path for Christianity in
that far off country.
- For this you have pledged yourselves
to me with your oath to the colors.
wish you God-speed. Adieu my COM
rades.'
The Lokal Anzeiger's report of the
speech differs from the semi-otficial re-
ports notably in respect of the reference
to sparing none and making no prisoners
when coming into close quarters with the
enemy but the correspondent of the AssO-
ciated Press was assured this evening by
a perfectly responsible person who hear
the speech that the LokaI Anzeiger' re-
port is correct.

FROM SIR CLAUDE.
Letter Received From British minister
Dated July 6.

London, 11.3O a. m.-The text of the
Shanghai despatch to the Daily Mail fol-
lows:
Shanghai, July PA letter just re-
ceived here from Sir Claude Macdonald
dated Pekin, July 6, says:
we are receiving no assistance from
the authorities. Three legations are still
standing, including the British. We also
hold part Of the city walls. The Chinese
are shelling US from the city with a three
inch gun and some smaller ones and are
sniping us. We may be annihilated any
day. Our ammunition and food are short.
9 we would have perished by this time
only the Chinese are towards, and have
no organized plan of attack. If we are
not pressed, we may hold out fortnight
longer; otherwise four days at the ut
most.
g I anticipate only slight resistance to
the relief force. :"
Sir Claude concludes by advising the
relief force to approach by the eastern
gate or 5y way Of river. The losses of the
foreigners in Pekin up to July were

APPEAL FOR HARMONY.
Emperor William Writes Letters to
Crowned Heads of Europe.

Berlin, July 27.-It is reported that
Emperor William has written letters to
Queen Victoria, Emperor Nicholas En-
peror Francis Joseph and King Humbert
making a strong appeal on behalf of the
maintenance of harmony among the pow
ers against China and dwelling strongly
upon the solidarity of interests against
the yellow Peril. by which all are
threatened.
The Vorwaerts which declares that the
Kaiser Is secretly preparing much
larger force for China, says that this is
being brought about by a second appeal
within the regiments composing the ar
my for volunteers to serve in the second
China corps The attitude of the United
States is judged more mildly by the for
eign Office than by the press generally On
the question: today, prominent foreign
Office official said:
Il do not believe that the United
States will take up an isolated position
on the Chinese question, because it Is
evident that the Washington government
in principle agrees with the European
powers. Moreover, if the United States
were just now to choose to go its own
way, it would soon see disagreeable con
sequences resulting from such a course.
Regarding the alleged intention to be-
gin the advance upon Pekin within a
week, the German government has no IN
formation. Some new hope that the le-
gationers are alive has sprung up here
owing to several circumstances pointing
that way, particularly the arrival Of
Baron Van Ketteler's groom at Tien Tsin
with the statement that the Europeans in
Pekin were alive on July 8.
The German press expresses the hope
that the question of the commander-in
chief will soon be solved. Herr Won
Brandt, former German minister to
China, writing in the Deutsche Review
warns Germany against seeking territori-
al gains in China, urging her to follow
the example of the United States and to
confine her efforts to winning Iarge.part
OF the Chinese market. First Lieut.. Won
Boerok is to be sent to the United States

EN- GLAND IN NO DANGER.
Lord Salisbury Denies n Sensational
story.

London, July 27.-In the House of
Lords today, the Earl of Wemyss asked
whether the premier, Lord Salisbury, had
received information, confirming the
view of one of our military attaches" to
the effect that 1t was all important that
Eng land should entirely unassailable by
November next and whether he had salts
fed himself that our means of defense
were such as to render all attempts at in
vasion futile.
Lord Salisbury demanded the name of
such attacne
The Earl of Wemyss-"I cannot give
it,
Lord Salisbury-"Then you have no
right to quote him.
The Earl OF Wemyss-"Y You have no
right to ask it.
Lord Salisbury, proceeding with some
warmth said the Earl of Wemyss ina
bility to quote the name was evidence
that the-story was pure invention He
said he had never said that it was import
ant that England should be unassaiIable
by November. He understood, however.
that number OF shooting stars might be
apprehended in November.
II his Albert Hall speech on this sub
ject were read in its entirety, it would be
seen he had not pointed to any immedi-
ate danger. He believed the defenses were
quite adequate and had every confidence
in the future
The Earl of Roseberry said it was to be
regretted that the Premier had impaired
so much heat in his reply. He Thought
the Earl of Wemyss should not have men
toned the anonymous attache and said
Lord Salisbury's Albert hall speech had
intensified the anxiety of this country by
its extraordinary inadequate conclusion.
1t was not enough to tell the Primrose Sc
league to form rifle clubs to protect Iiber-
ty when SO vast a body OF reservists was
locked up 1000 miles away. The secretary
of war had made innumerable statements
in the House. and developed schemes of
national defense, but the commander-in-
chief had never pressed support of the
schemes. The matter was grave, as parli-
ament would shortly adjourn.
The Earl of Kimberley hoped the gov
ernment would devote the remainder of
the session to seeing that everything DOS
sible was done to put England in n CON
dition of defense. The subject was them
dropped.
