VON WALDERSEE’S RECALL.

State Department at Washineton Receive* Notification from Herlin. The State Department at Washington has been informed by the German government that in view of the favorable circumstances Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, on duty in China as com-

mander-in-chief of the allied forces, would be recalled. Nothing was contained in the notification about the withdrawal of the large German military contingent in China, but it is believed in official circles that Count von Waldersee’s recall will be coincident with the reduction of the German-fofces. There is some ground for this belief in reports from China and Count von Waldersee has been endeavoring to charter transports. While no -direct suggestion has been made by Germany that a successor of Count von Waldersee as commander-in-chief of the foreign troops in China be chosen by the powers, it was intimated Tuesday afternoon that this matter had been considered, and that, the United States would not put forward a candidate.

COUNT VON WALDERSEE.
