CHINESE SITUATION
WORRIES JAPAN

TOXIC, March 5.--Grave appre.
hension was felt here today over the
Chinese situation. Despite the quiet
ing down of Pekin, Tien Tsin and
the central provinces, there is a wide
spread belief among Japanese
familiar with the situation, that at
most there Is only lull In the cam
paign of murder and rapine. Yuan
Shi Kali, II Is declared here. has ut
terly failed as an administrator. IL
is rumored In Official circles that the
mind OF the great soldier and diplo-
mat has given way under the strain
OF recent events and that he Is un.
able to realize the grave danger OF a
policy Of inaction. This report, how
ever, Is absolutely denied by the
Chinese REPRESENTATIVES, here.
The japanese legation guard In
Pekin was reinforced today by 1900
picked men taken from the Port
Arthur garrison, These men are all
tried veterans who can be depended
on In any emergency. The Japanese
government has communicated with
the powers and has offered to send an
army corps to keep order In China II
needed II Is not believed here, how
ever. that the powers will take adj
vantage of this offer because Of he
prevailing suspicion that Japan's de-
signs on China are not entirely hui
manitarian.
