In_connection with an organized effort in New York to continue funds for the famine sufferars in China, Minister Wu is receiving inquiries from persons out- side of New York as to where subscrip- tions can be sent. He is ready to accept any such donation and will give proper receipts for the same. His belief is that much of the suffering exists in the inte- rior, especially in Shansi province, from famine and drought and from the paraly. sis_of all industries, owing to recent -dis- orders. GERMANS CAUGHT IN TRAP. Chinese Bellevem'l."hey Were Driven Back With Heavy Loss. PEKING, Aprll 2 —The Germans were virtually caught in a trap near the Ku- kuwan pass. A detachment of elghty had forty-five casualties, while the Chinese losses are sald to have been nominal. The German expeiition is returning, leaving the country greatly disaffected, owing to the hardships inflicted upon the population. Altogether the expedition ap- pears to have produced a very bad effect. The current Chincse gossip Is that the Germans were driven back with heavy losses and this is implicitly believed by the bulk of the people. Look not upon the wine when red.
