 China is now in n state of war with our country but sho has, with due ob- sCrvanco of tho forms of international eti- Quottc sent an ambassador for the conclu- sion of peace. We on our part, named our plenipotentiarics who were instruct cd to meet him and negotiate at Simono- Scki
 Thus 1t was incumbent upon us. in pursuance with international usage, to afford the embassador treatment consist cnt with the national honor and to ac- cord him suitable escort for his proteS- tion. Wo consequently gave orders to all functionaries to use tho utmost diligence. and 1t Is therefore with profound grief that We now have to express our regret that ruffian should have dared to inflict personal injury upon the Chinese embas- SadOr.
 Tho culprit must receive the soverest punishment provided by law. Our official subjects must respect our wishes to pre- serve the glory of this country untarnish- cd and must provide against the rccur- renee of such violence"
