EMPEROR WILLIAM
Fatherland to Send a Squadron of
Eight Cruisers to Chinese Waters
at Once Expect to Do Some Fight
ingOther Items of Interest
Russia and Austria Back Germany
The presence of Emperor William at
Kiel upon the occasion of swearing the
naval recruits has had the expected effect
of clearing the situation so far as Ger
manys attitude toward China and Hayti is
concerned Within two months a squad
ion of eight fine cruisers having on board
3500 men will be assembled in Chinese
waters and the fact that Prince Henry of
Prussia brother of his majesty is to com
mand half this force lends probability to
the reports current in government
circles that bot work is expected
Within three days of the receipt of the
news of the murder of the German
missionaries the emperor through the
German ambassadors at Vienna kand St
Petersburg made confidential inqniries as
to whether Germany would be opposed in
Chinese waters in case circumstances
should render the seizure of territory nec
essary The replies were wholly satis
factory It was because of Kussias
assurance that a free hand would be given
Germany that Emperor William was
so extraordinarily attentive to Prince
Nosky the commander of the Russian
cruiser Vladimir Monarch which vessel
was at Kiel upon the occasion of his
majestys visit to that port
It is believed there is a virtual agree
ment between Russia and Germany under
which Germany is to retain possession of
Kaio Chow and the bay while Russia is
to become the dominant power in Corea
which is tantamount to annexation

demanded that the protestors furnish proof
of tampering
Secretary Porter and his two deputies
were sworn and testified to having opened
returns and sending some back for correc

change in figures
At the suggestion of Gov Holcomb the
protest was overruled and the board will
