The Situation i'm China.

Berlin, Sept. 19.-MOst of the morn
ing papers are loud in their praise Of
Count Won Buelow's note to the powers
calling for combined action in seeking
out the instigators of the Chinese out
RACES and Furnishing them. The Ma
tionsl Il situGg concludes from the state
ment OF Count Won Buelow that it is
impossible to deal with the whole
group OF guilty ones In China, that
Germany will not insist on the handing
over the Dowager Empress.
London, Sept. 19-It is significant
that the German note was made public
simultaneously with the arrival OF the
German commander 10 China and the
inference is plain that the Kaiser sought
thereby to increase the effectiveness Of
mis- proposal. Il is believed iD many
quarters here that the German note is
issued for the purpose of giving Valdez
see an excuse for mis- presence with
elaborate equipment in c lima. What
Germany proposes may easily necessi-
late a return TO military measures by
the powers and if the latter should
agree to follow Germany's political
cad, thew would also have to follow a
German leader 10 the field. As the
German proposal, if adhered to, would
bring ABOUT another long delay 10 nego-
Iiatlons, and perhaps precipitate an ex'
tensive campaign Tor the search of the
guilty parties, among whom may be the
Dowager Empress, 1t is not considered
likely that the powers will return q
favorable answer unless the note be
considerably modified.
