The military complications that have arisen- in China since the alleged powers took possession, including the expedition of French and German troops which left Pekin ii .few days ago with the avowed intention of scattering hostile Celestial troops under General , Liu, are not regarded here as indicative of . the ability of Field Mar shal Cojunt Von Waldersee to deal with the unusual situation. -There have been frequent criticisms here' of late concern ing the" trendof affairs, involving ; the troops of the various nations, and now the Hong Kong Daily Press comes out with the declaration that the adminis tration of Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee has been a failure. "He has shown himself to be an able soldier and a gentleman of honor,' and uas won tne respect or every, one ne.nas come in contact with,'' says The Press.
