New York, Aug. 7.-United States
Ambassador White arrived here
among the passengers on the Deutsch-
land, ard in answer to questions re-
earding affairs in China. said Empelcr

were going to China was generally
ministerpreted. He never meant the
ambassador said, Ito tell them TO give
7he Chinese no quarter. Nobody so
understood his speech until some
French papers put that construction
upon it.
The Emperor is Emotional.
1.-The first time [ heard OF such IN in
depreciation was when L received a
certain Paris paper. The emperor Is
an emotional man, and he may be in
clined to yield to the impulse of the
moment, perhaps, but he knows how
to control himself, and he certainly
never meant to command his soldiers
to be merciless. What he did say to
them was that they should bear in
mind that they were going to face a
desperate foe.

Germany" was asked.
"Oh no. This trouble will never
terminate in such a way. The war
will end in the allied powers debating
terms to China"
Admiral Kempff's conduct in Chi
na," Mr.. White said further, was at
first miscOnstrued, but now the Ger
mans approve of his policy.
Russia is looked upon with the
usual distrust," the ambassador con-
tinued, but the fact that she and
Germany fight shoulder to shoulder in
China. tends to improve the feeling be-
tween the two countries.
Admiration for American Arms.
In conclusion, the ambassador
touched upon the admiration felt in
Germany for our arms. 1.-THE German
attaches who saw our men fight are
most exuberant in their praises of our
army and navy, of the valor and skill
of our soldiers and sailors. In this
connection it may be said that our
war with Spain. and the part we
play in the Chinese conflict. has OPP
ened the eyes of Europe and made it
see a good deal more. of us than it had
done before"

So important were the statements
contained in the dispatch that n con-

What the result of the conference

it will stimulate the energies of the
government to it's utmost endeavor to
press forward the advance movement
towards Pekin is certain, for Mr.. on
gers message makes it clear that for
the ministers to leave Pekin would
result in their death.
