IS EXPECTED
TO INTERVENE
And Adopt fifTcctivc Measures for Pre
venting a Clash Between Russia and
Japan.
Jw:v oiiic, June 8. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London snya: With the
break down of the cable service, news
from South Africa ia meager and public
attention is centered upon China. The
opinion generally expressed by the press
is that the situation is going daily from
bad to worse, and thnt the crisis requires
strong handling. This is a safe generaliz
ation when nobody, either in Fleet street
or diplomatic circles, understands what
is going on behind the beetles.
Tho Boxers revolt is clearly an antl
foreign movement, but the relations of
tiie uowager lMnpreBB to it and the use
thnt sho may be intending to make of it
in the interest of Russia nro mysteries
too intricate to be unraveled. What
seemed at the outset a local uprising has
become a widespread movement against
foreigners which iB encouraged by the
Chinese government until missionaries
are. murdered, railways destroyed nnd
property looted and burned.
Whether or not Russia has offered to
BiippresB tiie Boxers movement und that
Japan has been affronted by the proposal,
there are great British .interests which
require immediate protection, and Lord
Salisbury is expected to intervene with
u strong hand and with the approval
nnd co-operation of Germany. Tho
foreign office has not supplied the London
press cues, and consequently there ore
no practical suggestions for dealing with
this difficult and dangerous situation.
The China questiou iB seen through a
glass darkly in diplomatic circles, but
there is general expectation that the in
itial will come from the British foreign
office, nnd that effective measures will be
adopted for preventing an outbreak of
wnr between Russia and Japan, und an
impending revolution in China.
