600 Men-Chinese Boastful

Copyrighted, 1900. by the Associated Press
Che-Foo. Tuesday. June 26.-The foreign
ers everywhere are urging the immediate
concentration Of an army of 100000 men, or
at least $1,000 men, for an advance on Pekin.
Many persons familiar with the Chinese
character think the foreign Ministers and
Vice Admiral Seymour. If captured. will be
held as hostages for good terms Of settle
ment. They also believe the whole Chinese
army is joining in the movement. under the
leadership OF Tung-Fu-H u-Hsiang, who crushed
the Mohammedan rebellion. Recently he
was nominally degraded for the purpose of
organizing an anti-foreign uprising quietly.
1t is estimated that 600G soldiers, well
armed, but poorly disciplined. are about

A great naval demonstration at all the

order TO influence the wavering Chinese
merchants who are friendly to foreigners.
The masses are becoming excited at tho
reports of their countrymen's successes
against the Powers. Merchantmen arriving
here report that the Boxers are drilling in
the streets Of New-Chwang, and that when
the officials inspected the soldiers with the
view of suppressing the Boxers they found
the soldiers had sold their rifles and equip

NOT SIDING WITH RUSSIA.
Germany, Rather, Will Foster In,
terests of All the Powers.

Berlin. June 26.-It is evident that Ger
many has been interchanging opinions with
Russia and other Powers during the last
twenty-fOur hours. and that the foreign
officers have been receiving new instruc-
tions from Count Won Bueiow. Minister of
Foreign Affairs who is still having hourly
conferences with Emperor William a, Kiel.
AS a result, Germany takes the position
outlined this evening by high official of
the Foreign Office. as follows:
THE German Government does not yet
see any cause to impute bad faith to the
Chinese Government. and to saddle the re-
sponsibIlity upon Pekin for the participation
of Chinese troops in the Boxer excesses. At
least all reliable news received here thus
far leaves the question of responsibility still
open. This view is shared by other Powers.
For the same reason the question of iie-
throning the Empress has not yet been dis
cussed between the Eowers."s
The correspondent of the Associated
Press asked the official whether. in case
the completely of the Chinese Government
were proved and Russia should still per-
sist In maintaining that, as a state Of war
did not exist and that the Empress should
be retained Germany would continue to
side with Russia.
GERMANY the official replied, wishes

rather than to further the individual aims
of any one"
The official added that no policy has yet
been agreed upon by the Powers as to what
course to pursue should it be found that
the Ministers at Pekin had been murdered.
and when the correspondent suggested that
the pacific assurances of the Chinese Min
listers at European capitals were Of doubt
full veracity, he replied:
Germany has no means of determining
the truth or falsity of such assurances"
The Berlin papers take a dispassionate
view of the situation. but they agree re-
garding its gravity. The semiofficial
Neueste Nachrichten insists that provision
be made for a large force of transmarine
troops in the future. To this the Friesin-
hinge Zeitung replies:
"The question whether the Kaiser can
order any troops forming part of the regu-
lar army to go beyond seas involves a modi-
fication of the Constitution of the Empire"
