THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

A London newspaper has dispatch
from China stating that war between
Germany and China, ia imminent, and
that Count Waldersee will present an
ultimatum demanding the surrender Of
the five leaders OF the antl-foreign up.
rising.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee has
cabled to Emperor William that he has
found the general situation much more
dangerous than he had expected, and
that the counsuls in central and south
ern Cuina expect general uprising.
The Cologue Gaze to, in statement
evidently inspired by the German gov
eminent, says that "the appointment
ofPrince Tuan as the head of the Chinese
government is the first fruit OF Amer
ics's policy"
Great Britain's reply to the German
proposal that the instigators OF the out
RACES against the legations at Pekin be
turned over to the allied commanders
before peace negotiations are begun, is
identical with the reply Of the United
States.
Berlin officials state that Russia and
Japan, in their answers to the Germao
note, agree to the proposition.
The War Department, as anticipated,
Issued formal orders 10 General Chaffee
to send all his forces to Manila, except
legation guard for Pekin, and the re-
moval Of the troops will begin at once.
Ii Hung Chang, in an interview at
TientsiD, said he did not believe that
an early settlement of the difficulty
was probable.
A dispatch from London says: 1t is
evident that there will be weeks OF
diplomatic quibbling and fiuesse, alter
which those powers which wish to do so
will follow Russis's example in Man
churia, and punish China by sppro
priating TO their own use sesbosrd pro-
vinces. This is the cynical conclusion
which the best-informed men here have
reached after recalling the Russian and
German proceedings after the war be-
tween China and Japan.
