THE PRINCE AS ERRAND BOY.
Prince and War Lord Talk Over Chi
nese Matters.

New York, August 25.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The report
telegraphed from Washington that Ger
many is preparing to make San Francisco
a base of supplies, with view to sending
a very powerful army to Chin, has attract
ed considerable attention. Your corre-
in shipping circles and finds that German
orders for stores and provisions are sufti-
GENTLY extensive to lend probability to this
rumor. It certainly would not surprise the
diplomatic authorities here if the German
force should eventually reach total of
10000 or $1,000. Some Importance may pos
Prince of Wales had with the German en-
peror yesterday. The prince, In company
with the Duke of Cambridge, whom it will
be remembered preceded Lord Wolseley
drove from Hamburg to Castle Fried
erichsdorp to meet the emperor and en-
press and Empress Frederick. Subsequently
the emperor accompanied the prince and
duke back to Homburg and had long
private conversation with them at their
hotel. It is commonly understood that the
political matters. and in general way
this is true, but in their foreign policies
there is good deal of private communi-
cation between the English and German
courts and it is extremely likely that the
kaiser and his uncle discussed the outlines
of Chinese policy which may be pursued
by their respective empires. On more than
one previous occasion the prince has been
employed as a kind of dignified and supe-
rior foreign office messenger, able to say
to the German emperor what could not
conveniently. be conveyed through ord:-
nary diplomatic channels. In the present
crisis Lord Salisbury may have induced
the illustrious tourist to take advantage
of his visit to Homburg to point to his
imperial relative that unnecessarily ag-
gressive or violent action in China would
be extremely distasteful to Great Britain.
The German emperor has views about the
alleged yellow danger which have never
been shared by the English premier.
The continued absence of direct tele-
graphic news from Pekin during the last
few days, together with reports of further
fighting near iTen Tsin. is causing some
anxiety. 1t is not. however, thought that
the allied contingents can have any real
difficulty in clearing their line of commu-
nication even if the Chinese should have
gathered in force in their country. What
in reality Is more disturbing is the state
of affairs in the central and southern
provinces. Hong Kong kilograms received
here yesterday were disquieting. There Is
no doubt that serious rioting has occurred
in Foo Kien and Kank Sc provinces, where
the missions have been attacked and plum
dered. The disorder at Swatow has also
been grave. and o French gunboat landed
a body of blue Jackets and marines to pro-
tect missions. while the Japanese have
been patroling at Annoy 1t would almost
seem as if an allied force would be re-
quired In every one OF the treaty ports.

POWERS SURELY DRIFTING To WAR
UNITED STATES WILL HAVE NO PART IN EUROPEAN STRUGGLE
latitude OF RUSSIA WILL FORCE OTHERS INTO
FIGHT OR SURRENDER OF EASTERN INTERESTS. Y

New York. August 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major General Chaffee has recommend
ed that the United States troops now in
China be withdrawn SO soon as all the
Americans in Pekin have reached places
of safety.
His cable dispatch advising this, and
accumulating evidences of lack of har-
mon yamong the powers, were the main
subject of consideration at Fridays cab
met meeting. The president and all the
members of the administration are anx-
1ous to get the troops out Of China at
the earliest possible date, but it can be
said on authority that there will be no
immediate withdrawal of American for
ces unless there is an immediate change
in conditions. There is a disposition in
administration circles to believe that
General Chaffee's recommendation was
based on military considerations alone
and that he did not take political con-
sideratiOns into account when making
1t, though there is reason to think that
his dispatch was sent after consultation
with Minister Conger Withdrawal of
American troops will be considered per-
missible when the restoration Of order
and obtaining those guarantees for the
protection of American life and property
contemplated by Secretary Hays note Of
July can proceed without their pres
ence.
The withdrawal of the troops will be
required if, through the declaration of
war against China by one or more of the
powers, a condition should arise which
would temporarily, at least, interfere
with the accomplishment of the objects
which the United States had in view in
cooperating with other nations.

proves to be correct it may bring about
early opportunity for personal exchanges
between Earl Ii Hung Chang and the
commanders of the allies and the min
listers of the respective powers.
The Chinese government has been en-
tirely silent since the capture of Pekin,
except in the two communications from
Ii Hung Chang, and up to the present
time Minister WI has received no word
responsive to the American answer sent
to him by Mr.. Adee last Wednesday.
Three days have elapsed and there has
been ample time for Ii Hung Chang to
formulate his next move. In the circum-
stances it Is felt that he accepts the
American and German answers and such
others as may have reached him as ne
eating and present prospect of the nego-
tiations along the lines he proposed. The
opinion is expressed that this will pro-
long the uncertainties of the diplomatic
situation, during which Earl Ii will seek
to meet the requirements laid down by
the United States and other powers while
the latter will endeavor to reach some
common ground of understanding for the
future
