FEAR CHINESE RISING
'The Prospects Are That tine celestials
rlay Take Hand.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-In view
OF the official dispatches regarding the
hostile attitude Of the Chinese within
and without the Russian sphere of in
fuence, the authorities here do not
conceal their apprehension at the out
look, especially in the north of the en-
pire, for they propose to call the at
tention of the Celestial government to
the impending uprising in. n.Tpaadsiatzi,
in order that repressive measures may
been instantly taken.
1T is known and appreciated here
that all the powers have made strong
representations to Pekin in the interst
of the preservation of the tranquility
OF sthe:empire, but it is stated that Ma
jor General Plugs dispatch of May IA
shows the necessity for further i'm
pressing the Celestial government with
the advisability Of acting with hrm
hand.
The authorities here believe that the
Boxer revolt, which spread from Snan
Tung. would have involved the entire
en-. Dire had it not been for the firmness
of the Southern viceroys. The military
authorities in st. Petersburg claim 10
have information Of a sensational
characters to the effect that the
Chinese have tacitly agreed to cooper
ate with the Japanese operations. Inc
Chinese propose, it is stated, TO orlVe
Gen. Kuropatkin's forces into Mon-
golia, which would place the Russians
in the position Of invaders OF neutrai
territory sad enable reprisals by Gen.
Mas army, which, 1t is asserted, Is
kept in that region for the special OBJ
iect. thus cleverly averting the slight
est infringement of the neutrality OF
China by Japan, and the. Chinese
troops. by not crossing tie Manehurlan
frontier, could not be charged with a
violation of pledges in respect to non
interference in military operations IN
Manchuria.
Z The opinion OF an eminent strategist,
given to the Associated Press is that
lhe japanese intend to control not
only Lao Cheng, but all along the
line in an effort to drive Gen. Kuro-
patkin into Mongolia, where the Chl-
nese are waiting for him.
Knowing thhese conditions, Gen.
Kuropatkin, he said, would not be
likely, to make a serious resistance at
Kai Ping or Hal Cheng, but would
withdraw to the north. This would en-
able the japanese to march on New
Chwang with little hindrance and give
them a base from which men could
be sent without any violation OF the
neutral zone west Of the Lao river.
) The German Foreign Office has been
Informed. according to assurances
given the Berlin correspondent OF NO
voc vremri, that China will not ven
ture to infringe the neutrality laws,
owing to the distinct intimation from
all the powers, the dynasty would be
ieopardized by such infringement. 1t
is believed that Japan would be EN-.
harrassed by the open assistance OF
China, since Europe would hold Japan
responsible for the consequences. Inc
