ALARMING VIEWS As TO WHAT

war, IN FACT, DECIDED UPON

st. Petersburg. Feb. %. - Most
alarming views with reference to the
relations between Germany and
France prevail in certain diplomatic
quarters where the situation is con-
sidered to be extremely tense and a
conflict by no means unlikely.
The ambassador of one of the big
European powers told the Associated
Press yesterday that war, in his opin-
ion, was inevitable, and had in fact,
already been decided upon.
1T is sad," added the diplomat, who
is not ranked among the admirers of
Emperor William, that for the whims
of one man, Europe must be plunged
into the horrors of war;"
At the French embassy opinion as
to the situation is frankly pessimistic,
and the outlook at present is regarded
as extremely serious, the views being
that there is no telling what may be
in store, if the conference
Should Break OF
and France and Germany be left face
to face in uncompromising opposition.
The abandonment of the French posi-
ton is regarded as impossible. EN-
perOr Williams toast at the banquet
in Berlin yesterday with it's direct al
fusion to the possibility Of war is
quoted with apprehension. The pes
stmism, however, is not general, and
German circles present manifestly
less alarm and affect to believe that
war is out of the question. The en-
peror's words are regarded in these
German circles as merely natural
phrases applicable to his military
functions
Russian officials personally take a
gloomy view of the outlook, especial
ly of the prospects of securing new
loan abroad, but. the foreign Office is
officially on record as trusting that
the dispute ultimately will work out
satisfactorily.

MASSACRE Of MISSIONARIES

NANcHANG.

washington, FEB. 70. fieS1ueNt
Roosevelt has grown suspicious OF the
good faith of the Chinese government
as a result of the policy of duplicity
which it seems to be pursuing. he
has been given assurances through
Minister Rockhill which are not in
keeping with the acts OF the Pekln
authorities.
Apparently there has been adopted
at the Chinese capital tactics such as
were observed in 1900 prior to the
Boxer outbreak.
The administration sees in the pres
ent situation a parallel with that
which existed prior to the Boxer out
break with this single and important
difference-that the present unrest is
not confined to two provinces In the
north. but prevails all over the en-
pire.
Bring in the Missionaries.
The state department is advising
mission boards to bring in all mission
aries stationed in outlying districts IN
accessible to warships or troops, and
place them at points where they can
be protected. Rear Admiral Train.
communicating chief of the Asiatic
feet, is giving similar advice to mis-
sionaries themselves.
Neither the navy nor war depart
ment is abating it's efforts to be ready
to act the moment the president gives
the word.
Puzzles cheng Tune.
Sir Cheng Tung Liangcheng, the
Chinese minister, does not understand
the warlike preparations this country
Is making, and he insists that there is
absolutely no reason for them, at least
os far as the situation in his cuntry is
concerned.
Missionaries Massacred.
Shanghai, Feb. 2S.-Somewhat con-
fused reports have reached here of a
massacre of missionaries at Nan
chang, province of Kiangsi. AS near
ly as can be ascertained, six mission
aries were killed and one child Of an
English missionary was wounded.
It is alleged that after long contin-
ued disputes between the Catholic
priests and the magistrate of Nan
chang the priests invited the magis-
trate to banquet, when they tried to
compel him to sign an agreement for
the payment of a large indemnity for
the destruction of Catholic mission
property. According to one report
the magistrate became indignant and
committed suicide, but the Chinese
assert that priest
Attacked and Killed Him.
The officials, fearing to arrest the
priest, called a public meeting, where
upon the Catholics, according to the
Chinese version of the trouble, set
fire to their own premises. The pub
lie meeting of the Chinese developed
into riot, in which, according to one
story, six Of the catholics were killed,
though later account says the num-
Der of Catholics killed was four. H.
c. Kingman, Protestant missionary,
and his wife also were killed and one
of their two children was wounded,
the other being rescued. The only
Protestant mission buildings de-
stroyed were those of the Plymouth
Brethren.
Fourteen Americans escaped in
boat. The Nanchang city gates are
now closed.
