Divergent Opinions Expressed by the Papers of the Empire. BERLIN, May 29. The papers devote much space to reviews of Germany's China expedition, showing widely diverg ent opinions. "While the Berliner Tage blatt claims that Count von Bulow's origi nal programme has been literally carried out, and the Tolltlsche 2-Tacliricli ten as- eerts that "our mission In China Is com pleted the Kreuz Zeltung admits that great difficulties Temaln, mentioning the Manchurian and Corean questions. The Post deprecates "the policy of certain papers 1n inventing grand plans for Ger many originally, and then claiming that these have not been fulfilled." The " Kleines Journal admits that 'our national consciousness was so aroused that en thusiasm conceived alms which, after" the German fashion, were befogged in bound less romanticism." The following vessels have been char tered for the returning troops: The Kre feld, Palatla, Nekar, Srassburg and Dres den, and also three others, Including the Silvia, which has just been completed. The regular North German Lloyd steam ers Will also bring troops from China. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns authoritatively that all the powers haTe accepted- Germany's propo sition to withdraw Field Marshal Count von Waldersee from China and surrender the clef command. In German circles the British propo sition that China pay the indemnity by. issuing bonds, making the interest ana sinking fund payments early in the jear, is now regarded as certain of being ac cepted. Perhaps the acceptance will be unanimous. Germany's -contingent remaining in Pe Cni Li, it is learned on authority, will be somewhat over 4000 men. The officials here deprecate the idea that Germany has any plvate scheme in view in keeping bo many men in China. The troops are only staying there as a guarantee of the ful fillment of the peace conditions. C3lions Prolonging? His Stay. ROME, May 29.

Cardinal Gibbons Is also ad vising the pope to consider the question of a successor to Cardinal Martinelll, as papal delegate to the United States, buf it is understood that the difficulties en countered in selecting a successor are so great that there is little prospect of the I early departure of Cardinal Martineiii from the United States.

The Depart ment of State lias been Informed reliably that the Chinese Government has Issued a decree agreeing to pay an indemnity of 450,000,000 taels, equivalent to about $337, 000,000, at the present rate of exchange. It is known now that the whole subject of indemnity mill be closed up before the end of the present month. If that is not done, and evacuation is not under way on a Unre scale, then the Chinese Govern ment must "be assessed $1,000,000 each day after June 1 next to compensate the pow ers for the maintenance of their military forces in China. Under this whip the Chi nese Government has been forced to yield. It is not known that the powers have agreed on the form and extent of guaran tee, but now that the amount of indem nity is fixed not much difficulty is ex pected on this score. The United States Government has not taken part In the selection of a -military commandant to succeed Field Marshal Count von "Waldersee In the supremo command at Pekln. Having dispensed with our military force in China, the United States is not concerned in the per sonality of the military chief. Our Le gation guard will not owe allegiance or obedience to any foreign commander, but will be answerable solely to the United Stales Minister in charge. -In. the event of, cpromon peril the special Legation guards may unite for the common defense In which case they may select their own leader, as they did during the defense of the Legationers last year.

Adrian He rard, editor of the Temps, urged that efforts be made to draw the two coun tries closer together.

NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN Washington Will Not Approve or Re ject Cuban Convention's Work. WASHINGTON,;' May 29.-Secretary Root has received 'a cablegram from Governor-General Wood, at Havana, briefly confirming the press report, of the adop tion of the report of the committee on relations with the United States, accept ing in behalf of the convention the terms of the Piatt amendment. It is understood that without undertaking materially to change the language of the Piatt amend ment the convention by the adoption of reports of Interviews with Secretary Root and otherwise has placed upon the amend ment Itself a construction that will re quire very serious conslderatlop. Secre tary .Root has been In daily communica tion by cable with General Wood, and la acquainted with the proceedings-of the delegates and the negotiations ,whlch led up to yesterday's action. General Wood, in turn, has acquainted the constitutional delegates with the Secretary's views In answer to their efforts to place a con struction upon the Piatt amendment. Hence the weight of opinion inclines to the belief that even as it stands the con vention's act yesterday will not be dis approved at Washington. It is sug gested by officials that there Is no occa sion at present for the Washington 'Gov ernment to take action upon this matter either by accepting or rejectfng" the con vention's work.

Mr3 Woodbury was present in court to- -J day, but Mrs. Eddy would not appear, her deposition having been taken for Intro duction In the case as evidence. The courtroom -was crowded -with spectators "when the case- was called, while several hundred men and women clamored in vain for admission. Before the selection of a Jury Mr. Peabody, counsel for Mrs. Wood bury, offered an affidavit bearing on the case, which-he claimed was made neces sary through the absence of Judge S. E. Hanna, a prominent membei-of the moth et church, "who, he said, caused the mes sage of Mrs. Eddy to be published In the local papers. The court took the affidavit with the understanding that it should be admitted later in the case, should the evidence warrant It. A jury was then em paneled, and the plaintiff's declaration read. Mr. Peabody said that a large number of tne witnesses in the court for the de fensebelleved In Mrs. Eddy as a marvel ous Voman, second only to Christ, and that they. were prompted to stand by her mrqugn religious motives. He asked that they be excluded from the courtroom. Judge Bell refused to grant Mr. Peabody's request. William F. Cross, one of the editors of the Christian Science Journal, described the .positions held by Judge Hanna and Mrs. Eddy -In the society. He testified tnat he did not know where Judge Hanna was at the present time. Witness was dismissed, but was stopped by Mr. Pea body asking him If he had not refused recently to state where Mr. Hanna was. Witness replied that he had- He stated that he had been called up on the 'phone In a blunt and surly manner, and that no reason for the request made had been given. He-did not feel called upon to answer the questions "of persons who Bald the truth was .not to be obtained at the Christian Science office. William B.

The first victory on either side camn tn $He defense, when'Mr. Peabody sought by mis -witness to 'snow tnat Mrs.-Woodbury k& sought and was" refused admission to 'the.mo'ther' ohUrch In 1S95, was afterward .admitted and, later excommunicated.

' The coiirt ruled that the time was too remote and excluded the testimony, Mr, Peabody taking .exception. Mr, Peabody then sought to Introduce testimony tend-" .ing to show malice ou the part of the de fendant. Judge Bell said the testimony .would be admitted only after it had been shown that Mrs..

He produced' his books, and found a record for November 6, 1S95: There was nothing in that record, he said, to indicate at whose suggestion Mrs, Woodbury was' dropped from ' membership.'

In It Mrs. Eddy complained that she had been un justly treated by Mrs. Woodbury, and quoted from alleged conversations with her wherein she (Mrs. Woodbury) virtual ly admitted that her conduct In the past had not been entirely blameless. Mrs. Eddy claimed in this letter that she was" not responsible for Mrs. Woodbury's dls 'ml3sal. The letter concluded with the following: "How dare you, In the sight of God; and1" with your character behind the curtain, and your own students ready to lift it on you, pursue the path of heresy?"
