THE POSITION AT PEKING ALARMIST 'BUMOCES.

Now York, 27th March. The Peking legations are preparing for a siege. This information was contained in official despatches to Washington, from the American legation, and thess despatches take a most despairing view of the situation. The report states that all the legations are laying in supplies and are taking extra precautions in going about the city. The guard on the legations has been increased and attempts have been made to decrease the valnerability of the quarters. Beports received by European Governments are even more alarming and tako on rather a hysterical tone. Intervention is regarded as sure to come, and only the know- ledge that it is sure to result in international complications prevents immediate action.

9th March,

It is now positively known that the American legation at Peking has appealed to Washington for protection, and the appeal was couched in the strongest terms. The temper of the native most surly and there is every people is reason to expect an outbreak at an early date. The departments are not communicative on the subject, but it is evident that preparation is being made for the worst.

A published interview with Admiral Dewey

has created a fanrure in diploms tio circles and it is possible that the President will have to disci. pline the Admiral for what is regarded as a decidedly undiplomatic statement. The inter- view credits the Admiral with having said that the German Navy was in every way inferior to that of America and that in case of a war the United States would undoubtedly have the

advantage. Dewey went on at some length to specify the points in which the German Navy was lacking, and made some rory positive criticisms of the Kaiser's feet. The German ambassador has already laid the matter before the President and it is expected that the Admiral will at bist be reprimanded.

S0th March.

The remarks of Admiral Dewey concerning the efficiency of the German Navy, has stirred up a danger us feeling in that country and seriously threaten a good understanding. The German press las taken up the matter and almost unanimously assails Dewey. The recog nised Agrarian press is especially venomous and takes the ground that if "Mr. Dewey" thinks the American Navy is superior he ought to have an opportunity to try the question. Admiral Dewey has not denied the authenticity of the interview nor made any explanation of it, It is believed that his punishment is assured. Washington has not yet taken any official notice of the incident but will certainly be compelled to do so.
