THE TANGLE IN CHINA.
NO PROGRESS TOWARD SETTLEMENT
REPORT OF \ GERMAN REVERSE.

London, Dec. 1.-The Spectator" in & strik-
ing article dealing with the Chinese crisis. ex-
presses the opinion that the most recent devel-
opments at Peking foreshadow a Chinese VIC
tory over the allies. The quarrel has been
brought 10 the test Of force" it says. and force
on the civilized sideshas proved insufficient. This
result is mainly due 70 the attitude Of Russia
and the United States. If China escapes with
the payment OF a small indemnity and many
promises on paper-as seems not unlikely. since
Germany and Great Britain may not be willing
to incur the expenditure and risk involved in
persisting in their demands-it will be equivalent
to a victory for China, for nothing has occurred
which will convince the Chinese that their
mighty Empress has been defeated or that Eu-
rope can avenge any future massacres.'
The Shanghai correspondent Of The Times"
says:
Reports of uneasiness at Tien-Tsin continue.
Chinese regulars and Boxers are believed TO be
returning 10 that district secretly, and renewal
of trouble is feared when the port is closed for
pedition met with a reverse, and 1t is believed
that party of Germans who were cut off, were
Obliged to abandon their dead and wounded
On the other hand Count Won waIdersee yes
terday telegraphed to Berlin that the German
column was returning from Kalgan. and would
continue the march under General GayL" A
similar reverse had been previously rumored and
denied at Berlin.
