Germans Rout Chinese Forces Near Man Sheng
Berlin March 7 The war office reports from Pekin that Captain Knoerzer’s Third East Asiatic company engaged 400 Chinese regulars southwest of Man Sheng, killing fifty and capturing two banners. A detachment from Tien Tsin to Thiang March 3 aimed to suppress brigandage as three infantry companies a cavalry squadron and a battery moved March 6. The Berlin note says the court may move to be nearer Pekin by late March, with uncertainty over the Empress Dowager, and Count von Waldersee’s Tsin Tau trip described as insignificantly poised, indicating Chi Li is quiet enough for his temporary absence.
