He Believes That Indemnity Claims Will Be Soon Settled. —_—— Baron D. von Bergen, secretary of the German Legation at Peking, arrived here vesterday from the Orient. He is on his way to Berlin to receive instructions be- fore leaving for Rome, where he has been appointed secretary of the legation. Baron von Bergen says that the war in China has resulted in cementing the friendship between this country and Ger- many. “During the slege,” sald he, “the Ameri- can Legation was in bad straits. The building was surrounded with howling mobs of Chinese and the Americans were very short of solaiers. We assisted them with our men whenever we could. We used ‘to send over a detail of ten men ‘when practical. This may seem a small number to you, but I can tell you that ten armed white men form a small army in the eyes of the Chinese. “T think that the indemnity cldims will be gettled soon and that everybody dam- aged by the war will be reimbursed.

PIN. JAPAN WATCHES THE MUSGOVITE Operations of Russia in Korea May Cause War. YOKOHAMA, April 24.—Since the back- dcwn of Russia, by which she has lost immensely in her prestige in the Orient, matters have resumed _their normal course, though Japan’s distrust of the nerthern power still remains in as full force as ever, and the nation does not in the least relax its vigilance in watching every move of the Muscovite. The - latter, temporarily foiled in the Chinese game, is now engaged in machi- nations in Korea, using France as the in- strument of his designs, and the Japan- ese do not fall to detect the significance of what is called the French loan to the Korean Government, it being merely a strengthening of Russla’s influence in the peninsula. This system of encroachment, judging from the temper of the native press here, will not long be borne by Japan and some day in the not distant future war will come like a bolt from the blue. None save those who have long resided in Japan can form any conception of the strength of the national sentiment r ing Ko- rea. The people here have been taught for centurles that the destinies of the two countries are indissolubly united and the conviction of this is not only ineradicable but has become part and parcel of the patriotic enthusiasm which is the nation's €. Moreover, the tide of emigration has flowed In large volume to the peninsula, which is recognized as the only fleld in view of the growing restrictions upon the influx of Asiatics in the West. Japan has now a population of 45,000,000 upon a sur- face less than that of the Atlantic States of America, and, it being a mass of moun- tains, only one-twelfth of the soil is| arable. Korea, therefore, becomes an ab- solute necessity in the near future as a fleld for emigration, apart from the fact that Its possession by Russia would be recognized as a' mortal menace to the Island Empire. It may therefore be im- w{lned that this nation’s patience is llable at any moment to be exhausted by Rus- sia’s diplomatic policy.
