WALDERSEE INTERVIEWED
Appointment Due to thh Initiative Of
 Emperor William

Berlin, August 9-Field Marshal Count supreme command of the German forces in China and looked upon in some quarters as likely to be chosen as communicating chief of the international troops, was iuA terviewed this evening by the corresponds ent of the Associated Press shortly afteE his arrival in Berlin.
 My appointment" said General vou Waldersee, Ifs due entirely to the initiative of Emperor William. I shall start for China, going, probably, by way of Sad Francisco, in short time. I am fullH aware of the great difficulties shall havS to meet in China and of the extreme delis cacy of my position there; but I can only say that 1 shall do my best to prove myA self worthy of the honor and of the cohs fdence placed in me by the Kaiser. Count ess yon Waldersee will accompany me to the United States"
 It Is understood that Emperor William some weeks ago broached the subject of the chief In command to Count von WAlderseS personally, passing his proposal upon tho conditions that all the other powers should acquiesce in the appointment. As to thiA latter point diplomatic negotiations have been going on during the last few days Emperor Nicholas with whom the count IS an especial favorite consented, France fol4 lowing somewhat reluctantly.
 Austria-Hungary and Italy quickly cons sented; the acquiesence of the United States and Great Britain was not received and th9 assent of Japan came last. The German foreign office told the Associated Press cor respondent this evening that the consent ot the other powers had been virtually secured to the selection of Count von Waldersee as commander In chief

Everything Was Ready

Pretoria, August 9.-Everything was prepared in the plot to make Lord Roberts a prisoner and shoot the British officers, and the conspiracy was only discovered at the last moment. The conspirators number about fifteen. They had planned to set fire to the houses in the extreme western part of the city, hoping that the troops would be concentrated there. The plan was that then the conspirators were forcibly to enter all the houses occupied by British officers. these having been pre- viously marked, and kill the occupants.
 All the Boer sympathizers were &C., quainted with the plot, and several had been told to secure the person of Lord Roberts and hurry with him to the nearest commando. Horses had been obtained for this purpose. Then the British learned the names of the ring leaders who were put under arrest. The affair has caused 8 tremendous sensation.

All the Powers Acquiesce Except
 Great Britain and America.
BUT NO OBJECTION IS EXPECTED
He Is Regarded by Authorities in Washs ington as an Eminent Soldier, and It Is Believed He Is
 Satisfactory

Washington, Aug 9.-The subject of ths mand the international forces in China has been presented to the United States gov. ernment, but no answer has yet been res turned. Count Waldersee is regarded by tn authorities here as an eminent soldier, and it is believed he is satisfactory It Is stated that his selection would be for campaign of much broader scope than that in which our forces are engaged as the ministers in Pekin, and Count Walderee, who is now in Germany, cannot possibly reach China until that object has been accomplished or defeated. It is thought by this government that it is not necessary to decide on a commander immediately. The matter will be taken up with President Mckinley when he arrives in Washington next week.
 A member of the Cabinet said today that there was no question as to the ac. quiescence of this Government in the se- lection of Field Marshal Waldersee as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces irt the Chinese campaign, if the Counts ap- pointment to command the German troops meant such selection. The appointment, 1t was suggested, doubtless meant that thA Berlin Government proposed largely to augment its force in China in the near fu- ture. The same official added that in all
 
 probability the allied forces would be in possession of the Chinese capital befofa Count Waldersee could land in China

THE SPECTACLE
 WAS IMPOSING Remains of the Late King Hum bert Arrive at Rome. MANY TEAR-DIMME0 EYES The Catafalque Was Covered With Beautiful Wreaths of Flowers Exterior Decoration of Pan
 theon Very Simple

Rome, August 9.-The train bearing the remains of the late King of Italy, which left Monza at 4:2S D. m. yesterday accom- panied by the Duke of Aosta the Count of Turin and the Duke of Oporto arrived here at 6:30 a. m. today. Immediately af- ter the hour ten non-commissioned of- ficers of Cuirassers carried the casket con- tainins the remains of the late King Hum bert from the funeral train to the large hall of the railroad station, which had been transformed into a chapel, hung with sable draperies and gold ornamentations. The first chaplain of the court, assisted by a number of priests, pronounced the absolution, and the cortege started for the Pantheon, where rest the remains of Hum- berts father Victor Emanuel H.
 The sun was showing through haze, but the weather was not hot. The im- mediate space surrounding the railroad station was entirely filled with the people, and as the casket was borne into the open air touching and imposing spectacle was witnessed. All those present uncovered and remained bare-headed while the pro- cession was in view.
 After the casket had been placed on a gun caTriaSe' hihS Nie'oi I>ihahuei H. took his place at the head of the Princes who followed the remains. Behind His Majesty were the Duke of Aosta, the Count of Turin, the Duke of Genoa, the Duke of Opofto, Prince Ferdinand of Genoa, and other royal visitors. Following them were the members of the diplomatic corps and special envoys,

 The dispatch referred to has not yet reached Paris
 No government has demanded the escort of the Pekin envoys to Tien Tsin or any other place, but on the other hand the pow CTS have told the ministers to remain in Pe- kin until rescued. This point in the minis ters cable shows the Chinese officials are misreprensenting the wish of the powers to the envoys.
