"The Situation Is Desperate. Hasten"
These words from the message of
Won Bergen, member of the German
legation at 3Peking. countersigned by
Sir Robert Hart, inspector, general of
customs, and dated nine days ago, are
the theme of all private comment.
They are preparing for rnews,of a frigh,
ful tragedy. Nine days ago the ammu-
milton of the little garrison defending
the foreigners was running low and
their food was nearly exhausted, while
around them was horde of Kan Su
braves, having at their service Krupp
guns and repeating rifles. Peking was
in the hands of the revolutionaries.

BERLIN, July 3.-After detailed
statement by Count Won Buelow, secre-

ing the Chinese situation, Emperor
William made up his mind to insist
upon full satisfaction for the death of
Baron Won lletteler, for which purpose
he resolved to send altogether armed

of the other powers chiefly interested in
restoring order i'll China. The precise
size of the force has. lot yet been de-
termined, but it is expected that they
will amount to a score of thousands. A
considerable portion of the German
fleet will be sent also. This is eyi.

new battleships for sailing. Tie em-

aware that constitutional difficulties
render difficult the dispatching Of So
