Britons Pleased by Germany’s Firm Attitude in Peking
London reports keen satisfaction in Britain over Germany’s polite refusal to withdraw from Peking. Lord Salisbury plans to consult colleagues and return to London early next week. Germany’s stance seems tied to a compromise: keep occupation of Beijing while moving most troops to Tientsin. Japan signals willingness to withdraw troops if China requests evacuation and opens genuine peace talks. Allies may align on a common policy by the arrival of Marshal Count von Wal at Takou in about two weeks. Riot at native Christians in Amoy prompts Tokyo to report riots in Chang-chow and Tawng-chi, with gates closed and officials replaced after local unpopularity.
