Powers Disagree io China. England and Germany are Left to Enter Upon Ex? pensive and Uncertain War. London. Dee. 1, 3:30 a. m -The Spectator io a a triking article deal? ing with the Chinese criais, expresses the opinion that the most reoent developments at Pekin foreshadow a Chinese victory over the allies. "The quarrel has been brought to the test of force/' it s ay 8, "and force on the civilised side bas proved insofficieot This resnlt is mainly doe to the atti? tude of Russia and the United States If China escapes with the payment of a small indemnity and many prom? ises on paper, as seems not unlikely, sinee Germany and Great Britain may not be willing to incur the ex penditure and risk involved in per? sisting in their demands, it will be equivalent to a vietory for China, for nothing has occurred which will con? vince the Chinese that their mighty empress bas been defeated or that Europe can avenge any future mass? acres.'7 The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post wiring yesterday, says : "Despite the cordial reception given Admiral Seymour, the situation is oncbsnged. The Hankow viceroy refuses to stop sending supplies to the coo rt unless the Nankin viceroy will also refuse ; and the latter, although be undertakes to send no more arms, says he must continue sending supplies so long as the em peror requires them "In fact, all our remonstrances amount to a miserable farce. We have no courage to do more than to talk In the Chinese theatre bere the allies are represented by a soldier with an enormous mouth, who does nothing* bot talk untii bis career ie ended by decapitation " "The Japanese cooneel bere/' says the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily News, "acting under instruc tion8 from Tokio, baa withdrawn bis assent to the consular proclamation forbidding the imports of articles ased in the manufacture of war materials. This action has caused general soi prise It is rumored thal the Chinese are actively purchasing arms and ammunition and that the I customs offices are conniving at the ; passage of false declarations, under i of5c'?? instruction?
