EMPEROR WIUIAII
TO HIS SOLDIERS.
Instructs the Expedition to China
to Spare None and Make
No Prisoners.
HE IS SEVERELY CRITICISED.
Berlin Rejects the Idea of the United
States Actio as Medlator-The Ad"
vance Upon Pekin to Start This
Week-News from Chins.
Special Berlin Letter, Copyrighted 1900 by the
Associated Press.1
Berlin, July 28. Emperor Wil
liam's address to the soldiers compris
ing the Chinese expedition forms to
day the subject of general discussion.
The Emperor's instructions, to spare
no Chinese and make no prisoners, are
condemned by nearly everybody one
meets and also by the press. The
Lokal Anzeiger pretends that the Em
peror did not mean what his words
implied, but that he merely wished to
caution the members of the expedition
that they would meet a foe who does
not spare and makes no prisoners. But
nearly all the other papers, comment
ing o ; the Emperor's speech, strongly
argue against it; the Tageblatt, in a
specially caustic manner, reminding
the Emperor that telling his soldiers
to carry civilization into China and in
the same oreath enjoining them to
deal ferocious severity there, do not
tally. Besides, the paper argues, the
Emperor haamo right to so instruct the
expedition, because the expedition will
form part of a whole and be under the
command of a chief of some other na
tionality, whose instructions solely
they must obey. The paper further
maintains that "the Emperor's be
havior is likely to split up the har
mony of the powers, as doubtless some
of the powers will not agree to the
Emperor's instructions."
Several papers draw a paraHeTbe
tween this latest speech by Emperor
William and the one he delivered in
1898, dedicating to the Redeemer
the Church of Jerusalem, on which
occasion the Emperor preached the
gospel of long suffering toward all
nations.
The Cologne Volk's Zeitung pub
lishes statements to the effect that a
Catholic missionary who has just re
turned from China states that the Em
press is the prime instigator of. the
present war in China, citing a number
of proofs thereot-One of the Empress'
chief advisers, Admiral Pnnyuelin,
published at the Empress' behest the
policy to be pursued -until China
should be ready for war with Europe,
saying : "European jealousy and dis
harmony is the advantage heaven
sends China to prepare herself. When
everything is ready for war, we shall
revenge all past injuries at one blow."
The idea of the United States acting
as mediator between Europe and
China has met with the most decided
rejection here, the correspondent of
the Associated Press learns, despite
the honeyed words accompanying the
refusal. Germany insists upon ade
quate redress for Baron Von Ketteler's
assassination and a guarantee for the
permanent re-establishment of orderly
conditions in China. Not before this
is done will Germany be ready to listen
to diplomatic propositions about the
status quo. The Associated Press
correspondent learns that the sen
timent in the highest German
circles is indignation that in
stead of practical solidarity . by
all the powers the tendency is more
and more plain that each is again seek
ing selfish advantages, irrespective of
outraged international rights. The
feeling against the United States is
especially bitter, Emperor William
having expressed the opinion that the
United States would steadfastly side
with him in demanding adequate re
dress. The Foreign Office says the advance
upon Pekin depends upon the admirals
there, and not vpon the powers. All
the details in connection with the ad
vance have been left to the admirals.
The Foreign Office understands that
tne expedition against Pekin will move
the middle of next week.
London, July 29. According to
this morning's Berlin dispatches, the
conservative government organs agree
mat tne emperor's words at Bremer-
baven have been misinterpreted
abroad. The Kreuz Zeituna savs that
was never mienaea to convey the
idea that the troops could not make
prisoners, but that the German Em
peror merely alluded to the Chinese.
"who neither pardoned nor made pris
oners."

Brussels, July 28. The Minister
of Foreign Affairs has received a tele-
grain from Shanghai, dated July 28th,
which states that a Chinese taotai is
authority for the assertion that all of
the missionaries who had taken refuge
at Paoting Fu have been massacred.
If the allies march on Pekin it is pos
sible that the Pekin government will
take refuge at Tsinan Fu. The Gover
nor of Shan Tung has informed the
British consul that according to an
imperial decree the foreign ministers
were safe on July 24 and mat tney
had been furnished with a fresh sup
ply of food by the authorities. A
message received by the procurator of
the Belgian missions states that all the
missionaries in Eastern Mongolia are
safe, and will be able to resist the

THE EXPEDITION TO PEKIN
Will Start About the Middle of the Week.
Jealousies Developing Among the
Allied Powers.
' By Cable to the MornlnK 8tar.
Paris, July 28. The feeling obtains
here that though alive, the ministers
in Pekin are still probably held as host
ages. The equivocal declarations of
Li Hun Chang have seryedtoTieepen
the feeling of mistrust, regarding all
Chinese affirmation and information.
The Associated Press learns that the
foreign governments intend to disre
gard Li Hung Chang's recommenda
tions which they believe are maae in
bad faith not to march on Pekin. On
the contrary, the international expe
dition will start about the middle ' of
next week, following as closely as pos
sible the railroad, kittle douot is ieit
that the Chinese government will hold
the surviving European ministers as
a lever to secure better terms in the
final settlement; but in this they will
be disappointed, for the powers will ex
act for this violation of international
law even a heavier indemnity than
they would have demanded if thetrrin
isters had been allowed to lea v& Pe
kin of their own volition.
Meanwhile negotiations are actively
proceeding between the powers, and
the situation which will succeed the
entry of the international troops into
Pekin is a matter affording subject for
the greatest anxiety. Already
things do not appear to be
going ' altogether smoothly at Tien
Tsin, and ;j alousies are be
ginning to peep out that may develop
into a very serious disagreement before
long. The relations between Japan
and China which may eventuate from
the present trouble are being discussed
in the diplomatic world. Although
the Japanese minister here, Kurino
I fihinichiro. scouts the idea of any alli
ance between - Japan and China, the
possibility of such a development is
taken into consideration by the foreign
representatives.
THE SHAH OP PERSIA.
A Royal Quest of France at the Paris
Exposition.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Paris, July 28. The Shah of Per-8ia,,Muzaffar-Ed-Din,
France's second
royal guest in connection with the
Exposition, arrived in Paris this after
noon. He was met at the station by
President Loubet in whose landau he
was driven to the late residence of Dr.
Evans, the American dentist, which
had been fitted for the reception of
crowned visitors.
Military honors were rendered to
the Shah by the Republican guards on
his arrival in Paris. The station was
decorated in phis honor. President
Loubet, attended by his cabinet, wel
comed him on alighting from the
train, and conducted him from the
landau in which he was driven to
the Evans mansion in the Champs
Ely see, escorted by cuirassiers. A
great crowd that lined the route
witnessed the procession, which con
sisted of eleven other landaus with
members of the Persian legation and
the Shah's suite. President Joubet
left the Shah at the mansion and return
ed to the Elysee, where the Shah re
turned his visit immediately. The Shah
wore a dazzling display of diamonds
to-day and the uniforms of his suite
also glittered with precious ornaments.
EPWORTH LEAQUERS.
Convention at Atlanta Was Not Encour
aging - Sessions Closed.
By Telegraph to the MornlnK Star.
Atlanta, Ga., July 28. The South
ern Epworth League closed its five
days convention here to night. The
selection of the next meeting place
was left to the conference board. - The
convention just closed was the
first distinctively Southern meeting
of the Epworth leaguers, and it is be
lieved by many of the delegates that
it will be the last Those in charge of
the conference expected five thousand
delegates, while as a matter of fact
there were considerably less than one
thousand in attendance. The organ
ization if maintained will continue
to affiliate with the national order,
but the light attendance here seems to
justify the delegates in the belief that
a majority of the leaguers do not wish
the Southern league continued. Dr.
C; W. Beid, who for seventeen years
has been a missionary in China and
Corea, spoke during thexday on the
Eastern question. :
Dr. Reid declared that the present
situation in China was not due pri
marily to missionaries, but to com
merce, which scattered opium alt over
the world against the protests, o( na

NO NEWS FROM
MINISTER CONGER
Little Ground for Hope as to the
Safety of the Legations
in China. ,
U,S MILITARY PREPARATIONS
Oeo. Chaffee and His Force Expected to
Have Arrived it Taku-More Troops
from Manila May Be Sent to
China If Necessary.
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
Washington, July 28. The day
brought the usual crop of edicts and
reports from various quarters and the
usual visit to the State Department of
Minister Wu, all bearing directly upon
the welfare of the foreign' ministers in
Pekin. This constantly growing mass
of assertion is beginning to have a
cumulative effect upon the skeptics
and there was a noticeably more
hopeful view taken of the state of
affairs to-day. Beyond the fact that it
is scarcely conceivable that the Chi
nese authorities should persist in
strengthening these stories up to the
rapidly approaching moment when the
whole truth must be duclosed by other
agencies, it appeared upon careful con
sideration of the reports that there was
really little more ground for hope as
to the safety of Mr. Conger and his
colleagues at Pekin to day than there
was yesterday. The depressing fact is
always in mind that the Chinese
authorities, by their own statements.
while able to communicate - with
the legationers, for some mysterious
reason ao not permit inese unioriu
nates to comnrunicate with their own
governments, minister Wu's expla-
is At i n it - t
nauon oi ims, nameiy, inat me jni
nese metnods are different from our
own, is scarcely sufficient for,the offi
cials here. The minister, however, is
honestly trying to get a further com
munication through from Mr. Conger,
and it may be that success inAhis un
dertaking will afford him a brilliant
vindication. At least he maintains a
wonderful show of confidence in the
safety of the legations, and manages to
impress this in some degree upon the
officials and others with whom he
comes in contact.
' Chaffee and His Troops.
There was nothing of interest from
China respecting the military or nayal
forces there. The' War Department
officials now calculate- that General
Chaffee with his troops on the Grant
will arrive at Takir this evening,
though it may be several days before
his report of the fact can reach the de
partment. The irregular and unsatis
factory character of the present system
of communication between Taku and
the cable end at Shanghai- has been
taken into account by the War Depart
ment and it is said that one of Chaffee's
first acts upon taking command of the
United States troops ashore at Taku
and Tien Tsin will be to establish, per
haps in co-operation with the other
military commanders, a line of rapid
dispatch boats running from Tien Tsin
to either Shanghai or Nagasaki.
More May be Necessary.
While the positive statement is made
that it is not the present intention to
send any more troops from Manila to
China, at the same time it is known
that all contingencies haye been can
vassed, and that if an emergency
should arise in China which made it
imperative to have additional troops,
they would be drawn from the Philip
pines for temporary duty at least
Some time ago Gen. MacArthur was
advised by Secretary Root to maintain
sufficient transports to carry supplies
between Manila and Taku, and these
transports would be available for
emergency troops. The Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Sumner, when the latter
arrives at Manila, will be held forser
vice between Manila and Taku, and
will be available for the contingency
which may occur, but which the de
partment does not expect to arise. A
stubborn resistance to the advance of
the international armies might make
additional troops necessary. In that
event a speedy relief column no doubt
would be sent from Manila.
