Special Berlin Cable Letter.-Copyright
1900, the Associated Press.
Berlin, Aug. 25.-Official circles here en-
phasiZe the statement that Germany, aft
er the taking of Pekn and Field Mar
shai Count Won Waldersee's appointment
to the command of the allied forces in
China, stands precisely in the same att-
tude as before. Germany, it is added,
still insists on carrying out the pro-
gramme which the minister of foreign
affairs, Count Won Buelow, published in
his circular of July 8, and which was ap-
proved here and abroad. 1t is also Off
cially claimed that all the other Powers
| interested still adhere to that programme,
OF which there now remain two most
important features. viz. Adequate redress
| for Chinese crimes against international
elderly state of affairs, and the nstella-
tion of a government willing and able to
give guarantees against the recurrence Of
the recent outrages.
Many papers, however, continue to eX-
press distrust OF the intentions of several
OF the Powers, especially Great Britain
and France. claiming they have separate
/ Nam
the southern provinces. So far as Rus
sia is concerned the German press is not
exercised because it has been officially ad-
mitted by Germany that Germany docs
not oppose any Russian plans affecting
the northern provinces as not touching
Germanys political or commercial inter
ests.
The belief is generally held here by both
the government and the press. that Count
| Won Waldersee will find plenty to do
after his arrival in China, even if his
command is restricted to the province OF
Pc Chi Lii. The leading Centrist organ,
the Cologne Volks Zeitung, forms an ex-
! ception to the rule, sounding a warning
against Won Waidersee overstepping the
| bounds drawn by Count Won BueloW
The Lokel Anzeiger publishes an inter-
view with a Chinese diplomat here, who
is quoted as saying: Neither the EN-
| peror nor the Empress Dowager will re-
| turn to the capital until the foreign troops
are withdrawn. Therefore the allies had
better appoint either a provisional gov
| ernment or a regent proposing for the
| latter Prince Ching" The Chinese dip
plomet also advises concluding peace and
| accepting the offer of Ii Hung Chang who
'assuredly is empowered by the Tsung Ii
Yamen, the Emperor or the Empress" He
| further remarked that the war was GER
! tainly over, "sinde China has neither
generals, soldiers nor material left" The
| only danger of a renewal of hostilities,
| he declared, was in the event harm were
done the Empress or Emperor.
| The foreign office published a letter
from the Teo Tai of Annoy to the Ger
man consul there, expressing his deep re-
gret at the death of Baron Won Ketteler,
the late German minister a Pekin.
The naval maneuvers this week were
| interesting in demonstrating the fact that
torpedo boats are powerless to attack big
vessels at night if proper vigilance is OBJ
served.
