TWO POWERS AGREE.
GERMANY AND RUSSIA SAID TO BE IN
ACCORD-BERLIN FEARS WORST.

Berlin. July 1S.-From two distinct sources it
was ascertained to-day that Count Won Btilow
has finally succeeded in auaying the suspicious
Of Russia aroused by Emperor Williams recent
speeches and by other actions. and that an
understanding regarding future action in China
has been reached between Russia Germany
and France
The Foreign Secretary convinced Russia that
Germany would in no wise interfere with her
plans in Manchuria and Northern China as
we'll as Corea, and that Germany harbors NO
desire of territorial aggrandzement
Russia, on her part, agrees not to interfere
with Germany's trade in Bussia's sphere of in
1uence in China after order has been re-estab-
lished.
The first result of this understanding has been
the issuance of strcI orders by the Russian
censorship to omit henceforth all hostile press
criticism regarding Germany's action in China

In this latest action Count Won BuIovv has tho

whose programme the "Kreuz Zeitung" has
just defined follows:
Germany will join the Pel5ing campaipn onIv
as all the other Powers shall do so. Her sphere
Of influence and her main action must not
transcend Shan -Tung. There is no question of
Germany must recognize any Chinese Govern
ment able and willing 70 accord reparatior and
adequate damages. Her Chinese interests will
be best served In accord with France and
Russia.
The "Berliner Tageblatt's'' correspondent at
st. Petersburg declares that it cannot be doubt
ed that Russia is preparing for a separate cam
paign against Peking from the North by land
He adds that Russia does not believe the allied
campaign from Tien-Tsin wiz ha successful or
in time.
A leading foreign official SAID
There has been no agreement between the
Powers regarding the size Of the forces to be
sent to China. Each Power is sending the num-
ber that she can spare. There has been no ex-
change Of notes on the subject, but tacit un-
derstanding seems to prevail that each Power
will send contingent adequately corresponding
with her real interest in China, commercial OF
territorial.
LIS MESSAGES NOT BELIEVED
The latest series of Chinese attempts to gloss
over the ugly facts in China which has been
undertaken in Washington, London and St
Petersburg. and by Ii Hung Chang al Canton is
regarded here as a revival OF the Chinese cum
ming campaign of lies for the purpose of pro-
voking discord among the Powers and of re-
tarding and weakening the joint campaign.
The Chinese Minister, Lu Hal Huan, has not
yet presented to the Foreign Office copy of the
document presented by his colleagues in Wash
ington. London and Paris. Since he has been
forbidden by Count Won Bulow to send any
more cipher telegrams and thus been deprived
OF forwarding information recording the mill
tary preparations, he has not ventured out of
the Chinese Legetion. Acting upon his advice |
a majority of the Chinese residents in Germany
have left the country during the last two days
The impression in official circles here is that
the situation is growing steadily worse and that |
the anti-foreign movement is SPREADING II is /
believed that Ii Hung Chang is playing false
The "Kreuz Zeitung" to-day r!dicules the idea |
of appointing a British citizen as chief COM |
mander over the international forces, saying:
We know from good source that the Rus
slams would not fight under either British or a |
Japanese commander.

Of the world stops them. Germany. Immediately
after the outbreak of hostties, issued d prohi-
oItion the export of arms to China; but Mr.
