WITH UNITED STATES.
CANNOT ACCEPT LA7TER's. PROPOSAL
BUT BERLIN OFFICIALS ARE WILL
ING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS
TO MAINTAIN PEACE.

Berlin, Feb. enquiries made at
the foreign Office regarding the Ger
man-American tariff question elected
the information that this government
is very pessimistic, even doubling
that it will be possible to get a pro-
visional arrangement from the United
States which Germany could accept.
Germany is anxious to avoid tariff
war and would go to great lengths in
making concessions which would rem
der a temporary arrangement possible
till a further treaty could be nego-
tiated, but it is evident that the for
eign office regards the suggestions
hitherto made by the United States as
unsatisfactory. It was learned at the
foreign office that the bundesrath has
not yet considered Germany's course
after March 1 (when the new German
tariff goes into effect), in the event of
no. arrangement having been made be.

thing is expected to occur within a

FOR SERVICE IN CHINA.
Troops at Manila Ordered to Be in
Readiness.

Readiness.
San Francisco, Feb. 6:---Ars1ly Off
GERS who arrived here from the Phil
ippines on the transport Logan report
that the prospect of trouble in China
is the chief topic OF discussion in army
circles in Manila. The Thirteenth in
fantry and two squadrons Of the
Eighth cavalry have been ordered to
prepare themselves for field service.
The destination OF these troops re-
mains headquarters secret, but the
only explanation of the order is that
they are to be held in readiness for a
China expedition at the first warning
of an outbreak.
Those who came on the Logan asked
first for news from China, as they
said that most of the information on
the subject which was current in the
Philippines came by the way Of Wash
fngton
The officers of the troops under field
orders have made preparations to
leave on twenty-four hours notice and
their expectation is that they will be
sent to Peking
