EMPEROR THANKS HIS TROOPS.
[By Electric ' Telegraph. — Copyright.] (Per Press.Association.) Berlin, Decem'j v 16. The Emperor to-day reviewed the troops who have just arrived from China. After walking through the lines, and shaking hands' with both officers and men, his majesty said: —" I thank you. You have done your duty. The great King and Emperor whose monuments .you march past look proudly on you." His majesty concluded by emphasising that resistance had been crushed.
Captain von Usedom, the well-known German staff officer in China who accompanied Admiral Seymour's expedition, has been thrown from his horse. A complicated fracture of the hip and shin bone will probably make amputation necessary.
