TO-DAY'S CABLES.

(Rexter's Service to the China Mail. )

A

DOINGS IN GERMANY

BERLIN, March 20.

The communists captured Essen after two days violent-fighting. It is estimated that 300 were killed.

LONDON, March 20.

The federation of labour, wherein all political parties are represented, has submitted to government demands for the punishment of the Kappites, and for organised labour to take charge of armed agencies for the main- tenance of law and order, the socialisation of coal and copper mines, and the retirement of Noske.

LONDON, March 20. The general strike is ended. The workers' demands have been accepted by the government, which is making far-reaching concessions.

BERLIN, March 20.

Decrees issued by the imperial president proclaim Berlin and the province of Brandenbug to be in a state of siege. The police are empowered to search motorcars for unauthorized bearers of arms, who ace to be shot on the spot.

Extraordinary courts martial are established.

LONDON, March 20.

The situation in Germany is unquestionably grave, although much remains obscure and chaotic. Communists are urging the workers to continue to strike relentlessly against the government and many quarters in Berlin predict the formation of a communist government within a few days. Meanwhile it appears that the Ebert Bauer government has not ceturned to Berlin and the capital is at present leaderless. Fighting com tinues at Leipzig. A military aeroplane bombed the city. A second place was shat down by the communists. Hitherto the Kilmarnock staff "at. Berlin is safe but the embassy has been without flour or lighting for two days. Yesterday a bomb exploded outside the embassy. It is reported that the flight of Ludendorff was apparently a sequel to Bauer's denuncia tion in the national assembly, declaring that Ludendorff was one of the wire-pullers of the revolution, and proclaiming his intention to mete out stern punishment.

HAMBURG, March 20.

The troops were disarmed without bloodshed. The sailors hoisted the whiteflag on the cruisers Schwarzburg, Regensburg, and Wittelsbach.

U.S. RAILWAY MEN.

LONDON, March 25.

A conference has been called by President Wilson and is discussing the American railwaymen's demands for wage increases totalling two hundred millions sterling.

US. MUST RETAIN YAP..

WASHINGTON, March 25.

The Senate adopted without discussion a resolution proposed by Mr. Lodge asking President Wilson for information with regard to an announcement reported to have been made by the British foreign secretary that the island of Yap was to be given to Japan. Senator Lodge pre- sented a letter from Mr. Foord, secretary of the American Asiatic Associa tion, hoping that Congress would unitedly protest against the passing of the administration of that island from the United States, as three Pacific cables radiated thence, and the control of the island is vital to American commerce, in the Far East..

TURKEY'S LATEST.

LONDON, March 20. It is reported that Turkey has concluded an offensive and defensive alliance with the republic of Azerbaijan. The alliance document provides for reciprocal assistance in the event of a foreign power attempting to establish a political, administrative, or economic protectorate over either. Both will refuse to sign the peace treaty or to disarin if the independence of Turkey be endangered or the independence of Azerbaijan be unrecognired- Turkey supplies munitions of war, trains, and Tartar troops. "It is con sidered most likely that the Turkish nationalists arranged the terms of the alliance. Azerbaijan contains the provinces of Baku and Elizavetpol, including the Baku oilfields. It must not be confused with the Persian province of Azerbaijan.

LIDN'T HAPPE

LONDON, March 20,

AMERICA'S FOREIGN LOANS,

WASHINGTON, March 20.

LONDON, March 25.

The Paris union of aeronautical industries dined the Japanese military, aviation mission at Claridge's. The president of the union: predicted a Paris-Tokyo journey shortly, to be accomplished in an aeroplane in six days by machines fitted with 900 horsepower motors with a new device enabling a uniform altitude of 10,000 metres and an average speed of 125 miles an hour. Each will carry fifteen passengers. He spoke sanguinely of the prospects of higher celerity, whereby Tokyo will be brought within- one day of Paris. Mr. Nagoaka, the chief of the Japanese mission, reply ing, opined that the aeroplane will be the principal weapon in future war, and, declared that disaster is awaiting the nation which has not forged this- weapoù for its defence in peace time.

LONDON, March 25, Montagu's report shows continued decline of prices. Due to large amounts of melted coin offered, there was. coyness by buyers for China account, and uncertainty owing to the vacillations of American exchange. There was a smart rally to-day, due to support from: New York. As Q regards the silver position in China, an apparent increase of spot sup plies notes upcountry reduced. The eaturation point might be reached. gemporarily but probably China, vill absord much larger quantities of
