head mere boys tor indiScretions which

States consul at Shanghai to the Chinese
authorities and subsequently executed. The
special report made by the Secretary Of
State, which accompanied the message, was

spondence submitted comprises some fifty
documents. In response to cable message
from Mr.. Gresham calling attention to the
complaint made by the Chinese minister in
this city that the United States consul at
Shanghai was protecting Japanese spies,
Minister DENLY on August q replied that
the accused were given asylum by the
United States consul general while the case
was being investigated. In response, Mr..
Gresham cabled that the United States le-
cations and conSulateS in China ARE not
authorized to hold Japanese accused Of
crime against the demand of Chinese au-
thorities" A further reply from Mr.. Den
by states that the French CONSUL who sur
rendered the prisoners to the United States
consul, had not the right to surrender them
to Chinese officials. He requested permls-
sion to order an examination by the United
States consul general with Chinese oin-
cialS present. August % Mr.. Gresham
Cabled Mr.. DENLY that he and the consul
general at Shanghai seemed to misappre-
hend the nature of the protection author
lied. He said: Lending good offices does
not invest Japanese with extra territorial
ity nor should legation or consulates be
made an asylum for Japanese who violate
local laws or commit belligerent acts. Pro-
lection is to be exercised unoftlc1ally and
consistently with neutrality. Consul gen.
