ID Is Causing to h Ameri-
can Legation Guard I'm Pekin
which May Grow Worse.

Pekin, May 27.-The United States
legation guard has had its first trouD.
lie. Legation street is being repaired
near the legation. and an American
sentry was placed at the point with
orders TO direct people around by q
side street. Everybody oheyed the re
quest with the exception of the Ger
mans, both officers and soldiers. who
have caused the American sentries
much trouble.
One of the German officers drew his
sword and charged an American sol
der, who brought his bayonet to
charge whereupon the officer de-
sisted. Subsequently a German sol
der charged past the sentry, who
fired, hitting another German soldier
near the German legation, q quarter
of a mile off. This, fortunately, was
only a light flesh wound. The sentry
has been placed under arrest. and
Maj. Robertson has instituted an in
vestigation.
The attitude of DR.. Mumm von
Schwartzerstein, German minister,
representing the civilians, and Count
Won Waldersee, representing the, mill
tary, as well as that of other high of
6cials, has been particularly friend
Iy toward Americans, which
makes all the more pronounced
the unfrendly feeling evinced
by a majority of the German Off
GERS and men. This unfriendliness
is attributed to the American atti-
tude in retaining control with the lc-
cation guard of one entrance to the
Forbidden City which the Germans
consider a reflection upon their ma
tional honesty.
