GERMANY
Is Very Much Enraged Over
the Murder Of Won Kettlrr.

Copyright 1900 by Associated Press)
BERLIN, JULY THE news from
China overwhelms everything here. The
usually quiet, self-contained German ma
ton, both high and low, has become
deeply nervous. Every bit Of news from
China is commented upon heatedly ev-
erywhere Opinions differ, locally among
the masses, but the majority believes
iwth the government, that the Chinese
situation is most serious. This results
too, from Emperor william and a num-
Der Of the cabinet ministers having post
poned their summer vacations because 1t
is expected that before long the weight
est decisions must be taken
His majesty's Chinese reward dispatch
is commented on by the press. The
Tageblatt says:
This manifestation Of the sohdity of
the interests of all the civilized nations
shows the broadness of the emperor's
views and sentiments
Emperor William, will Monday, accom-
pany the Gg rman ironclad division,
bound for China, into the North sea. 1t
is known in the emperor's encourage,
that his majesty in his usual impulsive
way, not only gave utterance to many
undiplomatic thoughts and opinions Of
the news Of the assassination of Baron
Won Ketteler, but could with difficulty be
restrained from following the dictates of
his heart and forthwith ordering a reg
ular army corps to be mobilized and sent
to China. The more sober views of the
minister of foreign affairs, Count Won
Buelow, prevailed only after several
lengthy conferences.
WILLIAM TO THE MARINES.
Among those who were ear witnesses
Of the emperor's remarks to the marines
at Wilhelmshavens, previous to their de-
parture for China, it is known that his
adress was much more strongly worded
than officially reported, and the news
papers Of Wilhelmshaven and that vcin-
lty publish the original version, in which
was the following: II hope to re-estab-
hsh peace with the sword and take ven-
by the world. 1 send you to eradicate
geance in manner never before seen
the dishonor done to the fatherland nv
parbarians. l shall not rest until the
German colors fly from the Pekin wall ."
a number of interesting press utter
ances appear today. The semi-off1cial
foSA mas an inspired article in which tho
reasons why Germany cannot counsel
Russia to accept japanese intervention
are set forth in detail. The writer saws.
Inc nrst principle of German policy is

as an act of partiSanship against Pue-
sia All attempts by England 70 induca
Germany to abandon her neutral nosi-
tion toward the diplomatic negotiations
now in progress will fail. That England
is desirous Of Japanese intervention is
conn rehensible, in view Of England's
weak military position and her rivalr,
with Russia. For Germany matters are
different. The abandonment of our ira
ditional friendship with Russia should be
TOO inadequately rewarded by Englands
