WARLIKE GERMANY
Disguised With the United
States Chinese Position
And Alarmed Lest Great Britain Will
Follow Our Example.
Says Boxers May Be Fighting Allies While
Conger Is Negotiating.

| Berlin, Sept. 26.-Late this afternoon,
| the correspondent of The Associated
Press in Berlin showed the German
| foreign officers private dispatch from
| London asserting that Lord Salisbury
| had informed Count Won Halzfeldt-
| Wildenburg, the German ambassador
to Great Britain that the reply OF the
| British government to the German note
would agree with that OF the United
States.
The foreign officers thereupon reit-
Grated the statement that this assertion
was positively false. Upon attention
| being called to the fact that the dis
patch in question did not claim that
the alleged information had been re
| ceived from Count Won HalZfeldt, a high
! foreign Office official. re-read the adj
vices from the German ambassador.
ana then said
Lord Salisbury has asked for few
days in which to consider the matter,
desiring to procure certain informa-
ton before giving final reply. No an
sWer has yet been given, at least no
formal answer. There has been some
oral discussion between Lord Salisbury
and Count Won Halzfeldt. but it is nos
true that Great Britain has finally re
piled in the same tenor as the United
States"
This repeated emphasizing publicly
| Of the non-receipc Of a formal answer
| has deepened the impression that the
London adyiceS Of The Associated
Press concerning the matter are cor
rect. the opinion being that the Ger
