CHINA'S GREAT DANGER.
Does Not Want to Fight, But Would
Defend Herself.

Paris, April 21.-Mr. on. first secre-
taTy Of the Chinese legation here. in
an interview on the danger of China
being drawn into the RUssO-Japanese
war. said that General Ma was not z
very important parsonage and had
never been cOmmandeT-in-chief. He is
in command OF the regular troops in
the province Of Pe-Chi-Li under the
Viceroy Of Tien-Tsin. who would incur
the death penalty If he acted without
the direct orders Of the Pekin govern
ment, which the secretary said. was
determined to maintain neutrality.
Moreover. General Ma had not more
than $4,000 troops. which there was no
reason to suppose were i'll disposed to-
ward Russia. Asked point blank
whether he did not fOresee danger Of
complications. the secretary admitted
that the Chinese people were favor
ably disposed toward the Japanese. and
in this fact there might be a possible
source of trouble If the Buddhist
priests and the secret societies stirred
up d revolt and the rebels attacked the
Eussiars the latter might consider The
imperial government responsible.
II we should be treated as beIliger-
ents.' SAID the secretary. I'VE would be
Obliged to defend ourselves. That
would be the only event IN which we
would make common cause with
Japan"
