WASHINGTON. ID. G., August 81
Minister Denby. al Picking, has cabled
long explanation 20 the State Department
with reference TO events connected VIII
the inquiry into the Ku-Cheng massacre.
which he had previously failed to report
thereby causing some dissatisfaction IL
official circles.
Mr. Denly had malntaine. so long
silence, despite the anxiety OF the state
Department to hear from him IN regarc
20 these matters that Il WAS determined
TO cable him synopsis OF the news.

sent cen hardly be deemed demand for
an explanation, according 20 the inter-
probation given II at the state Depart

Denby's long silence was causing dissatis-
f1ction

ter shows that ~ was dllgent. IN the per-
formance Of his duty. and the oAplana-
ton OF his silence appears 10 be that he
dil not deem some Of the Information IN

Today the department received dis
patches from Minister DENLY, dated Au-
gust 9th, Ia which he states that Mr..
HiSson. our Consul NJ Foo-Chow, started
