The results of this practice are plainly

Hint at a Trap by Bocrs.

Berlin, Jan. 2s.-The report that
spionkop has been taken by the British
has Moderated the least impression
here. Nobody got excited over this
piece of news and nobody is disneart-

are fully convinced that the Beers have

Great satisfaction was expressed in
many quarters over the cool and re-

London, Jan. %. Military circles to-
day made no effort TO conceal their
chagrin over the evacuation Of spion-
kop, expressing the gravest fears as TO
the ultimate fate of Ladysmith. High
and well-nformed military men say
they would not be surprised to hear Of
the capture of Whites force within a
week. These officers are unable to un-
derstand how in the world Warren

for retreating under what is supposed
to have been heavy sheliing. he is gem
orally criticised for Occupying a posi-

POWERS SPLIT WIDE
ON CHINESE QUESTION
America is Said to Stand With France and Russia
Opposed to Recent Demand of Germany.
Note IS Framed for Sending-FOrmer Nations Ready to Ne
gOtiate Without Waiting to Punish Offenders

Washington, Sept. 19.-The powers
have definitely split on their policy IN
China. Following Immediately the de-
mand of Germany for punishment Of
the leaders of the revolt as a prelim-
mary to negotiations, France and Rus
STA today announced their purpose. to
go ahead with the peace negotiations.
An important conference over the
answer to the German note was held
at the White House tonight The par
ties to the conference were the presi-
dent, Attorney General Griggs, the
only cabinet officer in the city; DR.. Hill
acting secretary of state; Assistant
Secretary of State Adee, who by exec
utlve order is acting secretary of war
The president entertained them at
dinner and the subsequent conference
lasted until II o'clock. At its close one
OF the participants said no final action
was taken.
1t is understood. however, that the
answer of this government as now
framed, is in effect a diplomatic re-
tdsal to accede to the German pro-
posal.
The first definite determination TO be-
gin peace negotiations with China
seems to have been reached by the
French and Russian governments.

Kaiser Feared China Would Palm Of
Wrong Men

wrong Men
Berlin. Sept 1s.-It is understood that
the immediats cause for the issuing ny
Germany of the circular note to the
powers regarding the Chinese settle
ment was the fact that Ii Hung Chang
during his recent interview with Dr.
Mumm Won SchWartZenstein, the Ger
man minister to China, mentioned a.
number of names of alleged high man
darins, hitherto wholly unknown, as
those responsible for the Pekin out
RACES, and said that China was willing
to punish them.
This explanation seems to be borne
out by the following statement made by
the German foreign office today to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
in Berlin:
What we want to avoid is an op-
pOrtunity for allowing China TO i'm
pose any sham concessions upon the
powers by delivering up for punishment
persons who had nothing TO do with
the Pel1in atrocities Hence il is ad-
VlSable for the representa- iVeS of the
powers in China to designate before
hand all who are VIGOROUSLY guilty.
Germany does not wish to prejudice the
case in any way. She wishes to reach
an agreement with the powers regard
ing the guilty and their punishment
SatO, first secretary of the Japanese
legation here, said today
4 think there viii be no difficulty
in getting the powers to agree in
principle to the German position TO
punish the guilty. The real difficulty
will be on deciding how high to go. If
they decide 10 include Prince Tuan
then they viii find that the empress
regent was back of him.
Russia. in my opinion. will not now
withdraw her troops from Pekin. mas
much as Germany and the other pow
ers remain She will decide that cir
cumStances have changed, and that
she must remain also.
