China's Military strength.

Cnina's military strength is
persistcntly underestimated in
current reports. The statement
made in the House of Commons
on Monday last by Mr.. Wyndham,
Under Secretary Of War should
convince the doubters that the al
legations concerning the poor
equipment of the Chinese troops
are based ON misinformatiOn.
Since April, 1893, according to
Mr.. Wyndham, II guns Of posi-
ton with l,740 rounds of am
munition, l23 field Guns with 40,
400 rounds Of ammunition, have
been supplied to China by British
firms, and Il German firm has sup
piled China with 100000 Mauser
rifles and 5000, 900 rounds of am
munition. Scores of thousands Of
Chinese have been instructed dur
ing the same period in military
tactics by German, Russian and
British army officers, and these
European drilled veterans have
in turn impaired their knowledge
to an unknown but undoubtedly
enormous number of recruits.
Losses inflicted by the Chinese
on foreign contingents at Taku,
Lanfang, Yangtsun and Tientsin
and the inability of the foreigners
hitherto gain a decisive advant-
age show that the Celestials have
been apt pupils. Anybody who
believes that an expedition tC
Pekin is going TO be Il military
promenade will be uudeceiyed
The opinion Of the japanese Ad
miral, who insisted that an army
OF 100, 200 men would be required
to hew a path through China's lie
gions from Taku to Pellin, is
more likely to prove correct thar
the more sanguine estimates o.
his European colleagues The
