A CHINESE PROTEST.
Text OF the Circular sent to Foreign
Powers Relative TO AMMAN.

Powers Relative to AMMAN.
The Chinese government has addressed q
circular letter relative to AMMAN to all for.
egn powers. Tho text Of that document re-
Gently delivered to Mr.. Frolinghuysen, the
secretary of state, by the minister of China at
Washington, is as follows:
amman has been dependent state to the
Ia Using dynasty for more than 200 years. the
ruler of the former sending tribute to the
latter, and receiving from the latter his in
vestture. Some twenty years ago, when the
northern portion of AMMAN was disturbed by
rebels, the Ia Using dynasty sent troops
across the frontier to quell and disperse them.
This occupied space of upward of ten years,
and cost the government many millions of
dollars in order to protect and defend the gov
ernment of AMMAN.
"Now, France invades that country without
cause, and availing herself of the opportunity
of tho death of its king, has enforced the Hue
treaty, in which there is provision that
China must not interfere with the govern
ment of Annam,' and so forth. This shows
that France refuses to recognize AMMAN as u
vassal of China. The foreign powers from
these facts can with equity distinguish which
government is in the wrong and which in
the right.
"If France desires to maintain friendly re-
lations with China, why should we not dis
cuss the matter amicably? If she insist upon
invading the northern part of Annam where
our troops are stationed, this indicates that
she is determined to break the friendly tie,
and our trogps-thare cannot remain with
folded arms, but must meet them in the field.
ave, therefore, send this communication
to all foreign powers showing that in the
event of tho friendly tic being broken, the
cause of the rupture does not come from
China.n
