A GERMAN VIEW.
NEW YORK. Dec 12. A apecW to
,' the World from Washington say:
Hcrr Von Holleben, the Imperial Ger
, man ambaiwadcr, discussing the Chinese
situation said:
'The Chinese question, to far as vital
' Issues are concerned, may be treated
as solved. The work of the powers In
' China Is now one of detail. Con trover-
' sial elements and units must be group-
ed and administrative functions must
, be made secure. Granting the postulate
; that Chinese Integrity must be preeor-
' ed, thre is nothing left of the Chinese
i" situation but careful labor to oncer
: tain the relative rights of all parties
concerned.
"The vital questions from this time
' will be the deposition of the various
treaty rights and concessions. Ger-
many stands for open ports and free
; access 'to the Oriental trade. If new
treaties are negotiated individually by
the powers with China or collectively
: by the congress of ministers now in ses
. elon at Pekln other questions of detail
, and administration may obtrude them-.
eelves.
"In this connection each power will
carefully scrutinise the situation for its
own interest. There Is no reason, how
ever, to apprehend any disagreement.
So far as the relations of Germany and
the United States are concerned. It is
only to be aald that they could not be
more cordial. The freedom of trade
and intercourse in the Philippines, en
couraged by the United States under
the difficulties at present existing, are
an exceptional guarantee and example
egalngt unwise selfishness throughout
. the Orient
'.The sentiment so carefully fostered
by certain Interests that Germany Is
hostile to American progress or trade
is to be regretted. The two countries
have similar policies of protection to
.domestic Industries and prosperity. In
detail these Interests may sometimes
clash. Various regulations of the cus
toms and Imperative laws of the United
States weigh heavily upon German
commerce. Americans held that the
; German laws regulating the importa
tion of n;eats to Germany are detrimen
tal to their interests. These are neces
sary sequences of kindred policies.
"On the other hand, the parcels post
facilities, the desire to maintain the
German steamship :inea proQt&bly and
a kindly German desire to trade with
the United States make the Atlantic
commerc between the two countries
practically reciprocal. In such circum
stances mischievous attempts to pre
judice public opinion may be ignored.
The- trade worll is not sentimental. It
.understands relative situations."
; PAO TING FU EXPEDITION.
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
TIEN TSIN, Nov. 5.-The interna
tional expedition to Pao Ting Fu, by
some deemed to be a necessary tacti
cal movement, In quest of the unfortu
nate Green family, after repeated post
ponements has at length become a part
of the history of the "yellow terror" of
1900. Lack of transport facilities on the
part of the Germans delayed the move
until the 12th of October, when from
Pekln and Tien Tsln there started si
multaneously three columns to accom
plish what should have and what could
have been dons at least a month pre
viously had th? British commanding
officer at Tien Tsln been allowed to
move when ready to do so.
The Tien Tsln columns were com
manded by General Baellond of the
French army and Major-General Lorne
Campbell, the former taking a direct
route to ths north of the waterway to
Pao Ting Fu and the latter a more etr
cuttous route to the south of the same.
General Baellond owed his command to
romewhat peculiar circumstances.
News had been received that a French
column was nlready moving to Pao
Ting Fu independently and alone. To

frustrate this action the v command of
Tien Tsln columns was offered to an
era) Baellood and accepted on the dis
tinct undemanding that the French
column alluded lo be halted until the
arrival of the allies who, on reaching
their destination, would be commanded
by General Sir Alfred , Gaselee. com
manding the column from Pekln.
The command of Oeueral Baellond
and General Campbell consisted of Crr.
man and Italian troops and British In
dla troops wlrt battery of royal
horse artillery, a small number of the
Austrian contingent and a battery of
two pompom guns.
Accompanying CampboH' command
the route lay southwest through Tu
Lul, destroyed by the troop a month
previously, to the walled city of Wen
An Slen In the vicinity of which It was
claimed the Chinese Imperial troops had
dispersed the Boxers some five days be
fore our arrival, inflicting heavy log-.
At Ma Chou, a small walled city, on
the 17th of October, General Campbell
received a letter from General Baellond,
stating that the French hod occupied
Pao Ting Fu on the 13th Inst., without
opposition, having anticipated the ac
tions of the allies and broken the prom
Isea that they would await other com
mands.
On the ISth, Tien Chou Hslen was
reached. On the- 19th the rear guard of
the column while leaving the city, hav
ing been delayed by baggage transport,
was treated to a somewhat hostile dem
onstration. Some hundreds of the
townspeople gathered about them, one
man endeavoring to Incite the crowd to
action. This would-be leader wae some
what severely handled and the guard
moved on without further annoyance.
After a most disagreeable march on
the 10th through a dust storm of un
wonted severity ending in a blixzard of
rain and sleet, rendering the going
heavy and dangerous, Pao Ting Fu was
reached on the list of October, e.fter a
march of ISO miles through a country
which but for an exceptionally dry pea
son would have been absolutely Im
passable, many miles of th? route be
ing described on the Chinese and for
eign maps as lakes and marshes. Upon
arrival we found the British-Pekln col
umn camped on the plain at the north
west corner of the city outside the wall.
nd the French. Germans and Italians
quartered within the city, and on the
nd we camped alongside General
Gaselee's command.
Though Pao Ting Fu had been occu
pied without opposition It was plainly
pparent to the most casual observer
that the Chinese were In a very dis
turbed state. Europeans going through
the city were receive! with Insolent and
Insulting remarks and on several occa
sions were the object of spitting, a fa
vorite form of Insult.
The fan tl or provincial treasury of
ficial, the Manchu commander of the
forces and the chief magistrate of Tien
Tsin were found within the city and an
International court of inquiry was In
stituted to determine their guilt In re
gard to the murderers at Pao Ting Fu
during the first week of July. This
court sat behind closed doors and no
correspondents were allowed to be pres
ent or even to be In th vicinity of the
biilding In which the tribunal eat a
course of procedure which Is certainly
foreign to British Ideas.
The result of .this inquiry became
known, on the 23th Inst., when the three
officials were condemned to be hanged
for their actions in regard to the Euro
peans at Pao Ting Fu and Tien Tsln,
the sentences being referred to Field
Marshal Von Waldersee for huj approv
al. The fan tl was degraded on that
date by being compelled to walk
through the streets of the city under es
cort to the place of his confinement
On the same day thirteen known par
ticipants In the Pao Ting Fu atrocities
were publicly shot
While this was going on, patrols were
scouring the country west and south,
and. while engaged in this way on the
23rd Inst., a patrol of the Sixteenth
Bengal Lancers was fired upon from a
fortified village, Ku Shan, some 25 miles'
northwest of Pao Ting Fu and three of
the men were wounded, one severely.
On the 24ih of October a small force
of some 250 men with one pompom, un
der the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
P. H. Ayer. Third Bombay cavalry, left
Pao Ting Fu to take and destroy the
village. Reaching Chu Cheng the same
evening, on the 25th an earlier start was
made and the pompom commenced shel.
i.ng the town about 8 A. M,, the de
tachment of the 20th Punjab infantry
afterward entering and the Third Bom
bay cavalry executing a flank move
ment to the right and left. A few
shots were fired from the town at the
pompom and some firing took place on
a small hill behind the town, and in the
valley beyond a large Jingal wa fired
upon by the cavalry. The losse to tb
Chinese must have been about 100
killed. The town was afterward de
stroyed and the arms found therein
burned. Ku Shan was a well known
Boxer rendsvous and the severe pun
Ifhment lnHk-ted was a well deserved
one.
Returning on the 26th, we found the
column und?r orders for Tien Tslr. by
a still more southerly route, where It
was stated large Boxer forces had con
gregated and a heavy firing was heard
during the a'ternoon to the southward
every one was excitedly looking for
ward to the prospects of a battie. In
the evening the report was circulated
that nine nilcs south a small Prench
column had had an engagement, had
taken a strongly fortified town, cap
tured four Krupps, lost 21 men killed
and 200 wounded. About noon of the
27th, reinforcements reached the scene
of the reported engagement and found
a small village occupied by the French,
one man slightly wounded by the fal
ling of a bikk while breaking In a
house, one man dead from dysentery.

Official advices from Buena Ventura
indicate that the power of the rebels
in the west has been broken.
Governor Alban. of the state of Pan
ama, who led the expedition which went
to the relief of Buena Ventura a month
ago. has cabled that Port Tumaco, on
the Pay of Tumaco, waa recaptured
on December 4th after three days' fight
ing.
He also reported that the rebel
steamer Galtan, which was engaged In
the blockade of Buena Ventura and had
been the chief reliance of the Liberal
forces In their operations ogalnst coast
towns, waa destroyed by the govern
ment vessels. Evidently the British
steamer Taboga and the gunboats at
Buena Ventura were used In the oper
ations.
Fort Tumaco was seized by the rev
olutlonlsts lust March and since has
been their principal stronghold on the
Pacific. No details of the battle or of
the loss of Ufa have been permitted to

WU TING FANG AGAIN.
Explains Ills Address on Confucius and
Make Another Speech.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12-Wu Ting
Fang. ho came here to deliver an ad
dresa before the Contemporary Club,
made a statement In regard to his ad
dress before the Ethical Culture So
ctety of New York last Sunday on Con
fuclus, comments upon which have
sliH-e been printed, In which he said
"I am afraid the scope of my ad
dress delivered at New York last Sun
duy at Carnegie hall Is not made clear
by the reports published In the iimvs'
papers. It was far from my Intention to
make any attack on any religion what
ever In the world, much less on (lirls
tlanlty. My theme was Confucius. Th
doctrines of Confucius are Imperfectly
understood In this country by people
and my t.i'k was to make clear In as
succinct a manner us possible, without
taking toj much time, the cardinal
points of Cufucianlsm.
in order to make it clear to an
American audience. I rhe the best
form of religion, and that Is Christian
ity, which was well known In this coun
try and which Is considered th; hUhcMt
form of religion ever known, to be the
standard by which comparison can be
made, and I tried to compare the dor
trine of Confucianism with this su
perlor form of religion. It was not
my Intention to make an attack on
Christianity. Taking that as the stan
(lard. Int.:iil of being considered a
an attack. It should be held as a com
pllment. I want"d to compare on what
points Confucius came up to the stand
ard of Christianity and if the full text
of my address waa publlshi-d this would
be clear to the reader; but unfortu
nately I have not seen a full account
of It In any of the papers containing
my speech.
"I have been reading portions of the
Bible and have the greatest respect for
It. I appreciate the Bible and greatly
respect Christianity and I have never
In my life made any attack on Chris
tianity. I may have said that some
of the doctrines are too grand and liw
clevatJd for mnn to follow, but that,
Instead of nn adverse criticism. Is In
praise of the high standard of that
crewl. I hope that the clergymen and
missionaries will not come to any con
clusion by reading the incomplete re
ports published In the papers."
The galleries of the Art Club wen;
crowded last night by Invited guesls
of the Contemporary Club to hear Min
ister Wu deliver an address entitled:
'The Chinese View." He was cordially
received.
In his address Mr. Wu dwelt upon
the five cardinal relations of mankind
as seen by the Chinese nation. lit drew
many Interesting as well as amunlng
comparisons between the customs of hi
own and the, American people. After
speuklng of the great age of the Chinese
nation, Minister Wu said:
"Let us Inquire Into the cause or
rather combination of causes, namely
the five cardinal relations of mankind.
That Is to say, first, between sovereign
nd ministers and subjects; second, be
tween parent and child; third. betwen
elder ond younger or between superior
and Inferior; fourth, the hunband and
wife, and last, but not least, friend
end friend.
'In the first case the attribute la
benevolence on the part of the sov-
relgn and reepect on the part of the
subject. In the second relation the par
ent must be kind and the child obedient.
Between the elder and the younger
there must be respect on the part of
the latter. Concerning the fourth re
lation, righteousness Is the husband's
a'trlbute, while submission Is the duty
of the wife. The duty of friends Is
to be faithful and truthful."
The speaker expanded on each of the
five relations, giving the result of their
application In China and his View of
corresponding returns In America. He
poke particularly of the second rela
tion, saying tha' In America It was
customary for the son to sit In the
presence of the father.
"If my son should sit In my presence,"
Jocularly declared . the minister, "I
would punch his head."
In conclusion Mr. Wu said;
"Although our civil association Is not
perfect, yet if has stood the test of
years well and the nation still ex
ists. Of course In many inspects the
ustoms and manners of your country
nd my country are different, but there
are good points Ir tarh. I think If each
of us could learn the other' good
points and profit by them it would be
well. We must understand Vich other
better, tor much i,of the prejit trou
ble has arisen from misunderstanding.
What you think. Is right we may
think Is wrong. Therefore it Is Import
ant that we Judge not from our stand
point but from the other t"'nt of view.
In our country we are guided by duty;
In yours, love Is the guiding principle.
t think we would ne mur happy If
we could strike a medium."
