MINISTER DENNY ACTIVE
He Acquaints the Department With
the Situation.
Yang Yu and Assistant Secretary
Adee Hold q Lengthy Conference
Over the Outlook.

Minister Denby. at Pekin, has cabied q
long explanation to the State Department
with reference to events connected with the
inquiry into the Kucheng massacre, which
he had previously failed to report, thereby,
causing some dissatisfaction In official
circles.
Mr.. DENLY has maintained 20 long ST.
Hence, despite the anxiety Of the Depart
ment to hear from him in regard to those
matters, that 1t was determined 10 cable
him synopsis Of the newspapers reports
cabled from China IN regard to alleged
by the American and British Commission
ers into the massacre.
On the whole the answer of the minister
shows that he was diIigent in the perform
ance of his duties, and the explanation Of
his silence appears that he did not deem
some of the Information in his possession
sufficiently important to cable.
Acting Secretary Adee of the State
Department, had long talk this morning
with Yang Ku, the Chinese minister, about
the present condition of the relations of
the United States with China growing out
of the kucheng massacre.
The conference lasted for an hour, and
was devoted principally to an exchange Of
Information cabied the State Department
and the minister from Peking. 1t was
shown conclusively by these messages that
that inquiry at Ku-cheng was proceeding
without interruption and that the Tsung
II Yamen, or Chinese board of foeign af-
fairs, was giving every assistance to IA
cilitate the efforts of the American and
British commissioners to get at the facts.
There was nothing in any Of the cablegrams
received to show how many arrests had
been made at Ku-cheng, or the number
OF convictions. If any, secured.

BISMARCK'S RATETREMBLES
Lawyers Invoke the Statutes to
Save Mr.. Gerstenberg's Dog.
Government Says 1t Must Die, But
Judge Scott Reserves His
Final Decision.

The lower police court was the scene
of an Interesting trial early this after
noon after the days docket had been
disposed of
Ernest Gerstenberg, the Pennsylvania
avenue restaurant keeper, sat in an easy
posture at the right of Attorney Albright.
who represented him in the fight which he
is making To save the life of his pet
dog, which was ordered to be killed by
the court some days ago, upon proof
being brought forward that the animal
was qua rrelsome and dangerous. The
police ordered the dog to be given up, but
Mr. Gerstenberg refused. He was ar
raigned this morning to answer the charge
of contempt OF court.
Attorneys Albright and Sillers contended
that the order to kill the dog was illegal
and that the court had not the power to
give such an order.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh cited several
passages and authorities TO confront and
disproye the arguments of the lawyers for
the opposition. He said the police regula
ton was made few months after the
act Of Congress, mentioned by Mr.. Albright,
was passed.
1t was in strict accordance with the pro-
visions of the act of Congress. The act of
Cong ress mentioned that three times man
owning fierce and dangerous dog must
be convicted before the dog can be killed.
The police regulations say not fierce and
dangerous. but fierce and biting dog.
Mr. Gerstenburg could say" said Mr..
Pugh, that hiedog was not fierce and dan
gerous, but he cannot say that 1t was not
fierce and biting, because 1t had bitten a
new sboy."
The attorneys debated for several hours
over the matter. The Judge reserved his
decision until tomorrow.
