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

Copyright, 1900, by Associated Press.)
Berlin. June 23-The Chinese troubles
have almost completely swept the South
African War from public attention. Even
the latest Pretoria news went uncom-
mcnted 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 di-
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
actcr of the Chinese uprising. While 1T
is true that Baron Won Ketteler, the
German Minister at Pekin, sent two
months ago a detailed report from Pekin
containing alarming 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 1.-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 d Al
flares in Berlin. today said TO the cor
respondent of the Associated Press that
he doubted if the powers had yet ex-
changed views concerning the future state
of the Chinese Government or what would
be done with the Dowager Empress and
those allied with her. The only course
at present he thought, is to enforce or
der ard protect Europeans.

reply from the Presbyterian Mission
Treasurer Elterichs, at Che Foo:
"Che Foo, June 22-Pekin in peril.
Shan Tung ordered to port.
AS interpreted by the Secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,
C. w. Hand, the dispatch means that mis-
sionaries in the province of Shan Tung
have been ordered by the United States
Consul to leave their mission posts and
proceed in haste to some port where they
can be under the protection of United

saries crowd the foreign quarters, setting
fire to the buildings. The Chinese guns
are being worked steadily from the walls
Of the native city. The consulates are all
being DESTROYED, the foreigners flock to
the town hall. The assistance of rein
forcenpnts is implored. The Russians
are now intrenched in the depot. They
are resisting the advance which the enemy
is making in overwhelming numbers.
No word has been received from Ad-
miral Seymour, and it is feared that the
relief column Jared badly. There is an
exodus of foreigners from the Yang Use
Kiang forts to Shanghai and Japan. Many
consider Shanghai unsafe, owing to the
absence OF foreign troops.

TROOPS REMOVED FROM CUBA.
This Fact Inspires Cubans With Feeling Of
Contentment.
washington Messenger

Havana, June 23.-Now that the
elections are satisfactorily over. Gen.
Wood will recommend the removal of
an infantry from the island, probably
the Second. Cavalry are needed in
the event of any trouble occurring,
which is unlikely, but Gen. Wood feels
as he has for over Il year, that the
troops could be reduced by removing
almost the entire infantry except in
places where they can be used mount
ed, as in the Santiago province. The
removal of the troops inspires the
Cubans with feeling of contentment
and confidence in the joint resolution
of Congress. They appear to believe
that each removal means another step
towards Cuba's freedom.

Bristow left on board the Mexico. He
