WASHINGTON, August Inquiry at
the Department Of State to-day brought
10 light the fact that more than a month
ago Mr. DENLY had secured from the
Chinese Government assurances that the
murderers OF American citizens would
suffer capital punishment, with vigor-
Gus insistence on his part that persons
implicated in the riots should be put TO
death.
Mr.. Denby's action in this regard has
received the approval of the State De-
partment and in view of the confidence
imposed in him 1t was not considered
necessary 10 send him more explicit in
struction in the present trouble than TO
do all that could be done" for the pro-
lection Of American citizens. 1t was
stated mt the department to-day that
no doubt was felt that Mr. DENLY would
secure protection Of American interests
in the present unsettled state OF affairs.
Mr.. DENLY and Admiral Carpenter, COM
mander Of the American fleet, are free 20
act in the matter OF sending vessels for
the protection of American citizens in
China. Permission from either the State
or the Navy Department is not neces-
sary in the premises. and Admiral Car

appeared before Judge Cole, Of the Crimi-
nal Court, and was admitted TO bail in

When court had been formally opened
Assistant District-AttOrncy Birney stated
that in view OF the character Of the
finding OF the CorOner's jury. IL would
be necessary to submit the case 10 the
grand jury.
Miss Flagler's attorney. Mr.. Perry, re-
marked that while the verdict Of the
Coroner's jury purpOrted to be a com
plste exoneration of the crime, II was
technically a finding for manslaughter.
He added that his client was in court.
and ready TO furnish bail in any sum
that might be demanded.
Judge Cole stated that he had read the
evidence taken at the inquest; that in his
opinion the case was a Dailable one, ana
that $1,000 would be sufficient.
This was satisfactory TO the Assistant
District Attorney, whereupon John cas-
sells and General Robert McFeely quail
