THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
American Soldiers Will Continue to
Guard the Gate.

Pekin, April 24.-Field Marshal Won
Waldersee has made an application
that the gate of the Forbidden City be
tdarded by German troops after the
departure of the Americans. Gen,
Chaffee has replied that American sol
diers will continue to guard the gate.
At this the Germans are indignant,
saying this impugns their honesty and
that if the United States desires to do
her share of policing the CITY she
should leave behind enough troops for
that purpose; that merely few men
belonging to the legation guards
should control the gate, which will be
within the German quarters, cannot be
allowed. If Gen. Chance persists IN
this course, diplomatic representations
will be made IN the matter.
