Tlen-Tsin, China, Aug. ia meeting
of foreign residents of this city was held
here to-day. 1t was decided to communi
cate by cable the necessity of the imme
diate intervention in China of the United
States and British goyernpents, and the
following telegram was addressed to the
Associated Press:
"The foreign community of TienTsin
express sympathy with the friends of the
Ku Cheng victims. They consider the
Chinese officials guilty and the British
and Americans blame the continued
apathy of their governments for the situa.
tion. They regard Engands demands
for an inquiry into the Ku Cheng massa-
ere to be useless, for, as before, the Off
cials will buy innocent heads as substi-
tutes for the actual criminals. They pro-
test that the Czechuen commission i'm
plicated the officials of that province.
England and America must send an ulti-
matum threatening reprisals. Diplomacy
is useless. We implore attention. Signed,
Dickenson, chairman"
STATE DEPARTMENT ALIVE TO SITUATION.
Washington.-Actlng Secretary Adee,
of the state department, to-day scanned
the Associated Press cable from Tien
Tsin, and said that nothing of the kind
had been received at the state depart
ment. He furnished the following state
ment: The state department has re-
ceived reply from Minister DENLY to
instructions, cabled him on the 7th inst,
relative to the reported looting of the
American missionary property at Yung
Fuh, near Foo Chow. Minister DENLY
urgently represented the facts to the
yamon on the 10th, and obtained in.
stant promises of protection and
redress. Yung Fuh is believed by the
officers of the state department to be the
toned in the press kilograms, the varia-
tions in name being doubtless due to
erroneous transmission over the trans.
Siberian cable, in the course of which
many subscriptions and repetitions are
necessary.
WHAT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT IS DOING.
Acting Secretary McAdoo, of the navy
department., dictated the following: "The
navy department received this morning
from Admiral Carpenter cablegaam an.
nouncing that he had dispatched the De-
troit to Foo Chow, the nearest point for
that vessel to reach the scene of the near
est disturbance.
A cable was received this morning
from Capt. Newell, commanding the De-
troit, announcing his arrival to-day at
Pagoda anchorage, about nine miles be-
low the city of Foo Chow.
Another cable has also been received
from Admiral Carpenter, announcing his
departure from Nagasaki for Che Foo
China. Che Foo is the nearest and best
port for communication with the Ameri-
can minister at Pekin.
The department has again to-day cabled
Admiral Carpenter regarding matters in
China and advising him to keep in close
and constant communication with Min
lister Denby."
A dispatch from Denby indicates that
the American minister does not share the
views Of other citizens in China, who
think that reprisals should be made.
A high official of the navy said to-day
that it would not be right for United
States war vessels to begin bombardlng
Chinese towns and killing Chinese people
who are entirely innocent, because these
riots have taken place in the interior
especially since the Chinese government
has already assured our minister that
everything possible is being done to pre-.
vent further trouble and to bring the Of
Tenders to Justice.
