The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-08

The foreign office is confident that the
United States and Japan will side with
Germany and the other European Powers
against England with reference to her ap-
parent intentions along the Yeng-tseKi-
ang.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that the United States
embassy in Berlin has informed the Ger
man foreign office that the American gov
eminent desires under all conditions that
the ang-tse-Kiang be left open for Amer
icen trade, and that Washington will also
oppose all schemes for the division of
China no matter from what Power they
may proceed. 1t is understood that this
attitude is fully approved by the German
government, since it comedies with the
wishes of Germany. The correspondent
further learns that Japan. on this same
question, he's abandoned England and has
already sought and found the friendship
of Berlin.

GERMANY HAS NO REPORT.
Opposition TO England's Course In
YaDE-tse kiang Region.

Berlin, Aug. THE German foreign
office up to midnight had not received any
confirmation Of alarming news from Tien
Tsn or of the report that the advance
on Pekin had begun. but il considers the
advices that the Japanese and Russian
forces had severe engagement with the
Chinese Sunday and drove back the
enemy, to be reliable. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the occurrence Of such an
engagement may not mean that an ad-
vance is in progress.
The foreign office admits that serious
differences have broken out between the
Powers with reference to the advance it,
self and to the measures that are being
taken in the Yang-tse valley.
Germany's opinion regarding the steps
Great Britain has taken in the Yang-tse
region has been expressed through the
Cologne Gazette. The opinion is one of
disapproval of steps taken already or
contemplated, inasmuch as Germany
with number of the other
Powers, is as much interested as
England in keeping the Yang-tse
valley open for commerce. The foreign
ONCE believes that In this particular all
the Powers except England are agreed

Pekin and are on their way to Tfcn Tsin.
Such an important move by the Chinese
government would not have been conceal
ed nor info rmation of their advancement
delayed for a moment. In the absence of
any reliable verihca,ion of the report Mr..
Adee declines to consider it probable.
No reliable information has yet reached
thu war department as TO the number of
the enemy which met the internationals
at Pei Tsane, hut it is inferred from the
large casualty list in the international
column it must have been very large and
is PROBABLY being rapidly reinforced.
The impression prevails at the war de-
partment that unless the Chinese generals
have been demoralized by the Pei Tsang
engagement there will be severe lighting
ahead for the International forces all the
way TO Pekin.
