DUE TO SEIZURE OF KIAO CHOU
Rising in China Thus Explained by the Radi
cal and Socialist Press.

Copyright. 1900. by Associated PressD
Berlin, June 23.-The Chinese troubles
have almost completely swept the South
African War from public attention. Even
the latest Pretoria news went uncom-
mented upon except by the military.
About Chinese events the Foreign Office
uses great reticence and above all stu
diously avoids admitting that the present
events mean an actual and probably bit
ter and protracted war with China. This
may be partly owing to the attacks OF
the Radical and Socialist press. which
maintains that the present rising of the
Chinese against the foreign devils is d.
rectly or indirectly due to the German
seizure of Kiao Chou. In this the papers
are strengthened by the public utterances
of the German missionary Bishop OF
Shan Tung, Won Amer, who recently de-
Scribed the disastrous effect upon mis-
sionary work of the Kiao Chou seizure.
In political circles here it is known
that the Foreign Office was quite sur
prised by the increasingly serious char
acter of the Chinese uprising. While it
is true that Baron Won Ketteler, the
German Minister at Pekin, sent two
months ago a detailed report from Pekin
containing LEARNING advices from the
German Consuls throughout China and
predicting serious trouble before long, not
much Importance was paid here to this
report, because Ketteler was new in Pc
kin. But the Emperor and Count Won
BuelOw, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
are now thoroughly aroused. His Males
ty declared Friday, at Kiel, that German
interests in China under no circum-
stances must be allowed to suffer, no mat
ter how great the sacrifice.
The Foreign Office says that its latest
news from Tien Tsin is substantially the
same as that set forth in the statement
Of Right Honorable William st. John
Brodrick, Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs in the House of Commons
in London. The Foreign Office states,
however, that the Chinese soldiers have
made desperate resistance to the inter
national forces, which again proves that
it will be necessary for the powers to
continue their present policy of jointly
enforcing order in China and also the
necessity for harmonious action between
the powers"
Lord Cough, the British Charge DAT
flares in Berlin, today said to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press hat
he doubted if the powers had yet eX-
changed views concerning the future state
Of the Chinese Government or what would
8 be done with the DoWager Empress ant
those allied with her. The only cOurst
at present, he thought, is to enforce or
der and protect Europeans.

MORE SOLDIERS
FOR THE ORIENT.
Insurrectiou BY No Means Put
Down in Philippines.
THE POLITICAL EXIGENCIES
All That Keeps the President From Asking
For More Troops Alarmed at
the situation In
Luzon.

A Washington special to the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer indicates clearly that
the war in the Philippines Is by no
means over. The special is from Frank
lin Hall, the Plain Dealers man at the
national capital, and reads:
If 1t were not for the approaching
campaign, 1t is said on good authority
that President Mckinley, who Is not
we'll satisfied with the situation in the
Philippines, would ask congress to grant
him authority to recruit new men for
the Philippine service, and even with
the campaign on, such a thing may oc-
cur as the president asking for author
ity for sending more men over there, al
though If this is done it will probably be
explained that the terms of enlistment
of many Of the regiments are about to
expire and it is thought best to send
fresh troops to relieve them.
The officials of the administration are
becoming alarmed at the reports from
the Philippines. Despite Gen. Otis s
assertions that the insurrection is over,
private letters and press dispatches in
dicate that there has only been a lull
in the hostilities and that the insurgents
are now gathering in force for the pur-
pose of again beginning operations dur
| ing the rainy season, which will begin
| within the next thirty days.
The men now serving in the Philip
pines have become enervatd with the
tropical climate, and it is pointed out
that unless they are given rest and time
| to recuperate in either this climate or
in the mountains of the islands, they
will become practically unfit for duty.
1t is confidently expected that when
! the rainy season begins the death rate
of the army will increase at an alarming
rate, because the men will not be able
to throw off sickness and fever after
| their hard service in the field.

denounced the story told by Frank
Jones, at one time a prisoner in the

with fellow prisoner, and was re-
quired to stand up by the door Of hi'

cuffed and no pressure was exerted on
his wrists. He was considered a good
prisoner" This mode of punishment
has now been abolished at the institu'
tion.
