tion In Washington,
WASHINGTON, March 25-The news
of the assauls on Ii Hung Chang caused
a sensation in diplomatic circles IN this
city Cases where an envoy of any
kind has been assaulted in the country
to which he is accredited are rare and
those in which peace commissioner is
attacked are almost unheard of in mod
ern days. The opinion here is that Japan
will suffe greatly as a consequence Of
the assault, and that the position OF
China will be so strengthened that she
may be able to secure better terms OF
peace than she could otherwise have
hoped for
The incident may lead to the breaking
off Of peace negotiations which were
proceeding Enthusiastically, or at least
may postpone further action in this IL
rection until Japan has guaranteed le
safety of Chlna's envoy and made proper
reparation,
A recent parallel case is the attack
made by General Count Fuentes of th
Spanish army on the Moorish ambas
sador The latter was TO ask Spain
grant Morocco more time for the pay
ment of tn, war indemnity promised
for che attacks on the Spanish at Mel
lila
General Fuentes became enraged at
one of the conferences and struck
the ambassador in the face with his
clenched fist So seriously did the
Spanish government regard the Incl
