1 NAHAL DEMONSTRATION
That is Calculated to Wako up
The Peking People-
London, Aug. 27.—The Pe
king correspondent of the Daily
Mail says :
“The situation has suddenly
become acute. The relations be
tween Tsung-Li-Yamen and Sir
Claude MacDonald, the British
ambassador, are strained to the
point of rupture. Sir Claude
MacDonald has intimated that
any failure by.China to observe
Gieat Britian’s wishes will be
accepted as a casus belli.
“In support of Sir Claude
MacDonald the fleet has been
concentrated at Wci-Hai-Wei
and Han-Kow, and all the war
sh’.ps under 5,000 tons have been
mobilized in the Yang-Tse river.
The naval demonstration is
solely directed against China, a
it is semi-officially stated that
the existing relations with Rus
sia are cordial. Lord Salisbury
has abandoned the policy of the
open door, substituting for it a
policy of spheres of influence .
“Diplomatic conferences have
been of constant occurrence
within the last.few days. Lord
Salisbury insists upon the recog
nition by the other powers in
terested in China, of thj bounda
ries of Great Britain's ‘sphere
of influence.’ In the same in
strument whereby Great Britain
recognizes Russia’s position in
Manchuria, Russia is required

“Great Britain is willing to
drop her protest in respect to the
Nui-Chang railway, but Russia
is required to cancel her agree
ment with China that the coun
try having the financial interest
should arbitrate in disputes con
" nected with the Peking Han
r Row railway.
1 “The negotiations are confined
3 to Peking. The British ambassa
-5 dors at St. Petersburg and
Peking are in close communica
» tion.”
The Daily Mail’s correspond
ent at Hong Kong telegraphs:
“The British consul at Kiung
1 Chau Heinan has asked (he
’ American consul at Canton to
I
1 urge the viceroy to send soldiers '
1 to Nodea, near Hoi How, to
• protect the lives and property of
' American missionaries there,]
.who have been obliged to flee
1 for their lives from Nodeaa and
■ seek the protection of the Bi itish
' consul at Hoi How.
■ Today the American consul at !
1 Canton notified the viceroy of
the state of affairs, and r<quests '
’ ed him to immediately telegraph •
1 ' peremptory orders to the ofliciab
of the disturbed district to dis
perse the rioters and protect th»
’ lives and property of the Amer
icans. , (
“Reports.just received from
Hainan indicate renewed success
on the part of the Triad society,
| whp, strengthened by a horde
of pirates, looted and burned a
♦
number of villages in the Hoi-1
How district on August 19th.
The British consul appealed co
the toatal to protect the threat
ened Americans, and s.oldiers
were displaced who succeeded
in rescuing then and escorting
them from Nodea to Hoi-How.’’
A special dispatch from
Shanghia says violent scenes are
reported to have occurred be
tween Sir Claude McDonald, the
’British minister, and M. P.ivloff,
the Russian charge d'affaires,
owing to the latter’s command
ing the Tsung-Li-Yamen to
breaJc its agreement with the
Hong Kong bank under pain of
the czar’s strong displeasure.
The Chinese are inclined to obey
M. Pavloff, seeing that the Brit
ish confine themselves to verbal
protests.
The position is now worse
than ever, all the Russian ships
having returned to Port Arthur,
while the British vessels are as
sembling at Wei-Hai-Wei, and
Chee Foo. Extreme activity
prevails ashore at Port Arthur.
