| BERLIN. Sept. S.-The number OF
cablegrams arriving seriatim, imputing
to Germany compromise propositions in
answer to the Russo-American proposals,
J appear baseless. The correspondent of
/ the Associated Press learns authoritative
| ly that Germany, replying to the advice
to withdraw her troops from Pekin, has
! sent Russia detailed reasons why tits
seems inopportune and ca,culat to pro-
! long instead of shorten the war. The
arguments cited in detail in support OF
! this contention We're those already given
to the Associated Press by foreign e.
flee o1scial recently, and appear coinci-
dentaf with the arguments advanced by
several other powers.
The situation in China still is difficult
in diplomatic sense rather than from a
military standpoint. The question of
doubtful credentials in the case of Ii
Hung Chang and other would-be negotia-
tors continues to play an important role.
1t is understood that DR.. Mumia Vol
SchwarZenste the German, m mister to
China, reported from Shanghai TO the
foreign Office here that he does not be

A foreign office official answering ques-
| tons of the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press today said:
FROM THE FOREIGN OFFICE
There are no Signs that Russia means
| to cepudiate her proposition. But, it is
already clear that the entente Of the
powers will not be affected thereby. Ger
! many gave Russia formal answer 10 he's
proposition, but [ am unabie to S ate
whether this answer amounts TO d rejec-
! ton. 1 cannot give an expression on tha
subject. The foreign Office knows that
| the most recent and very con radictOiy
notes cabled here from Washington are
most unpleasant 10 the United States
government.
THE doubt regarding Ii Hung Ctarg's
| credentials remains strong. He has not.
! been recognized by the powers as Ch'na's
peace plenipctentiary. DR.. Won Schwarz-
! enstein, who is still at Shanghai, has
not made a visit to Ii Hung Chang, nor
did the latter visit the minister. If III
Hung Chang is a plenirotentiary, as he
| claims, it is his business 20 approach the
representatives Of the powers first. Ii
! DR.. Won SchwarZenstein went 10 Ii Hun
Chang first the Chinese would have used
! this to show the hated foreigners came
! and ''kotoWed' before Ii Hung Chang"
! A member of the United States embassy
| here told the correspondent OF tie AsSo-
ciated Press that all the powers with
| the exception of Germany are anxious to
make peace with China and that they wi
practically recognize Ii Hung Chang as
| China's repre- sen tative.
