Won WaIdersee, Commander of the
Allies, Discusses His Movements.
BERLIN, Aug. 1O-This evening the
correspondent of the Associated Press had
another interview with Count Won Wald
ersee, who, although near So, looks much
younger. His step is vigorous and springy.
His hair is closely cropped and an iron
gray moustache contrasts with a ruddy
complexion. Evidently he is undertaken
his task in China with spirit and energy.
He expressed regret at being unable to
talk freely about his campaign plans, but
said:
81 am busy making preparations for my
departure and have been comforting at
length with the minister of war and with
Count Won Schlieffen, chief of the general
staff. A list of the officers composing my
China staff was submitted to Emporer
William, who approved it. Some thirty
German officers will accompany me. Gen.
Won Schwarzhoff (Schwartzkopf) VIII be
my chief of staff, and Col. Baranga will
be chief quartermaster. The others are
Baron Knigge and Count Koenigsmark,
as aides, and Count Stolberg- Wernige-
rode

l shall establish preliminary headquarters
and complete my staff from the contin-
gents of the other powers. One reason for
this change is that can be better reach
ed by telegraph while on the way.
Tomorrow morning 1 shall go for a
brief visit to Hanover to arrange a num-
Der of personal matters.

The field marshal then showed the cor
respondent a tropical outfit which EN-
peror William had presented to him per
sonally at Wilhelmshohe. The uniform is
the same as that which the kaiser wore
in Palestine.
On apparent authority it is said that
the news regarding the military move
ments, including the preparations for fur
ther shipments of troops to China will be
officially withheld, so as not to betray the
plan of campaign to China, including the
Chinese diplomatists in Europe. As a re-
suit reports are very contradictory. How
ever a number of facts go to show that
Germany is preparing further large ship
mentS.
The Cologne Gazette, in an inspired ar
ticle, admits that 5000 additional troops
will soon leave, although it says that at
present some $1,000 or 10000 have not been
ordered to proceed.
The semi-official Militaire Wochenblatt
this morning, says:
According to present orders from the
powers the middle of August will see al
together 40,500 available troops with 1852
guns in the province of Pc Chi Lii. BY
the end of September there will be rs. .0O0
with Ze0 guns, not including the troops
at Shanghai, Canton and Pekin. Russia.
mas $1,000, with 25O guns concentrating in
Manchuria, with 1900 with 1873 guns
forming for invasion.
Altogether 100000 men, with soc guns
will be in China within six weeks. and
altogether III war vessels, exclusive of
tWenty-one torpedo boats are now watch
ing the Chinese coast, of which seventy
are IN the Gulf Of Pc Chi Lii"

Cehlrlst parties. Several Of the leading
organs express grave doubt as to whether
Germany should take the lead in China
