The paver says: "Al ready proposals are affirmed to have been made by the chief of that state, which if accepted, will considerably complicate matters, The German gov ernment is especially bitter with Eng- land, and will support Russia diplo- matically in any action tending to bring the question of the evacuation of We-Hai-Wei before The Havue tric bunal.
