TO PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS.

The European Powers Will Increase Their
 Forces at the Freaty Ports of China in
 Order to Afford Protection to the Lives
 and Property Of subieets-No Question
 "i intervention as Is:.
 LONDON, Oct. s.-It can be ss tied on authority that the developments of the past week in eastern affairs will lead te concerted action on the part of the European powers. On Monday last MT. \. F. O'Connor, the British minister at Pekin, warned the foreign office by cable that the condition of affairs in China was such that the government was not able to guarantee protection to the foreign residents at the treaty ports and the missionaries in the interior of the country. The minister in the same dispatch stated that the Chinese im- perial council was diserganized and that the collapse of the government was not looked upon as an impossibili- ty, and advised that instant action be taken for tle protection of the lives and property of British subjects in China.
 The substance of this dispatch was at once communicated by Lord Rose berry to the governments of France, Russia and Germany, with the sugges- tion that the powers cooperate in in- ereasing the guard at the treaty ports and in measures for the protection of the missionaries.
 When the cabinet met on Thursday friendly responses from ail threeof the powers named had been received, and these so thoroughly cleared mp the sit nation as to enable the ministers to 1 give the premier and the earl of Kim berly, secretary of state for foreign af- fairs free hand to take whatever steps in the matter they might consider nee essary. No question of intervention between Japan and China has arisen, 1 however.
