 Friends.

Berlin. Nov. 2-The publication in Paris this N eek of threp letters written oy cen eral Voyron, who commanded the Frencn troops In China, to Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, showing among other things, that the relations between the French General and the Field Marshal were strained during the entire period or the foreign occupation, caused but nt- tie excitement here. A government official here who was interviewed on the sup ject said absolutely no occasion exists the affair. adding that The Matin. which published the letters, was not an omciai organ. The Kreuz Zeitung today admits the skill and politeness with which Gen est possible desr"e of independence of | the Field Marshal for the French com manders and says that hence Won Wal dersee deserves all the greater praise for discharging his difficult task.
