Nkw Yokk, March 20, Much concern
is being shown by the German govern
ment in the threat made by Montagu
Whito that thu Doere will destroy Johan
nesburg to prevent it being made the
base of thu British operations against
i'rutoria. The Berlin authorities will
Btronely oppose euch action, because of
thu damage which will bo dune to
property owned by Germans.
In accordance with the instructions of
his government, Baron von Ilolleben,
German Ambassador, has gone ao far. as
to Bound thu United States touching its
views of Mr. White's threat. It is not
thought ttiat tho United States will take
uny action or join In any representations
to tho Boer government on the subject.
If Germany wishes to prevent tho city
Iroin being razsd to thu ground it is said
she should herself make representations
to thu LulligcruntB. The interests of the
United States in Johannesburg ore com
paratively email, while Germany is
largely interested In the mines there.
In view of Germany's Inquiries on the
subject, it is thought not unlikely that
alio will make un effort horeelf, if she is
unable to induce other powers to jnn
her, to have the belligerents to agree to
protect f jrelgn property in Johannesburg

acres of land each, provided they will
occupy tho land for 10 years.
It is paid that the men who do not
wish to take up land will be made
tempting offers to enlist in the Chartered
(British) South Africa Company's field
force, under General Carrington. It is
declared officially that the war office
will not sanction or encourage transfers

British army.

Nkw Youk, March 20. A special to
tho Herald from Washington Bays : It
can be stated authoritatively that the
statu department has been informed
that all of the governments of Central
AaTerica are opposed to the Davis
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
In the opinion of tho governments des
ignated, the amendment places entirely
new phase upon the deeigns of the Unit
ed States in connection with the con
struction of the canal. The neutrality of
the waterway would, to acertaiu extent,
have deprived the powerful republic of
thu north of an incentive to acquire their
territory. Since the war with Spain and
the consequent expansion of tbe United
States some apprehension haB been ex
expressed by the Southern countries
that tho United States would next turn
Its atteutlon to them. The Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was consequently hailed by
the Central American notions as a
guarantee that they would not be mo
lested, as the international neutrality of
the canal would prevent interference in
isthmian affairs by other governments.
The Davis amendment, however,
places in the hands of this governmeut
tho right not only to take measurea for
its own defense with leference to the
canal, but permits it to use force "for
the maintenance of public order."

PACIFIC STATES TELEPHONE COS,
New Yohk, March 20. A fpecial to
the Herald from Washington says: It
developed today that Germany stands
rady with troops to protect American
missionaries in Shan Tung province. It
was further ascertained that the Berlin
government, to the gratification of the
United Statee, recently difpatched an
expeditionary force from Kiao Chou to
Ichon Fu for tbe protection of American
missionaries. This force suppressed the
rioters at Icbon Fu, arrested the ring
leaders, who have been punished, and
taught the anti-foreign crusaders a les
son. Tbe State department has been in
formed that the German government
contemplates another expeditionary
force to the interior of Shan Tung, where
most of tho American missions are
located, but it fully understands Un
willingness of the German authorities to
take such action. In fact, I learned in
a high diplomatic quarter that the Ger
man governor at Kiao Chou has stand
ing instruction's to take such measures
for the protection, not only of German
missionaries and other interests in Shan
Tung province as may seem necessary,
but of American missionaries as well.
Becaino of the peculiar relation in
which Germany stands to the province
of Shen Tung by reason other acquisi
tion of Kiao Chou and of court property
rights in the promontory, she is particu
larly desirous of preserving order in the
territory. It is for this reaeon that her
troops arc ready for service at any point
within the province where there is
danger of attack upon foreign interests
by Chinese fanatics. To a certain ex
tent Germany const queutly dominates
the province and she undoubtedly
would rather use her own troops to pro
tect foreigners than to allow a third gov
ernment to land a force to protect its
own citizens, wi.en such action might
lead to its remaining permanently in the
territory, which its forces temporarily
occupied.
Ttie fact that Germany dispatched
troops to Ichou Fu to protect American
missionaries has never hitherto been
published. The offer of Germany to
send a fotce to thie point was received
with pleasure by the authorities, who
do not contemplate any detigna what
ever on Cliiuese territory, and who are
consequently very glad to assent to the
German proposition.
Minuter Wu Ting Fang, the diplo
matic representative of Ch'na here, ie
inclined to look upon the reports of
trouble in China as exaggerated.
