navy departments from Minister Denby and Admiral Csrpe rter, which indicate that neither regards the situation re. suiting from the Ku Chang riots as very serious or alarming, Gs far ss Am erican interests are concerned.
 It appears that tho Chinese govern ment and officials ara very friendly to- ward the United States and American citizens, and regret the disturbances which have tended to cause SO much consternatioD. Advices are reassuring and not in accord with the cables with Consul General Jernigen at Shanghai and statements made by other American citizens, indicating further outrages were contemplated.

 | THE SAME OLD DODGE.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l-The state de- partment was informed yesterday that there was some disposition on the part of the Chinese officials not no allow the American and British officers to be pres- ent at the investigation of the ku Chang riots. It is stated at the department that the usual hitch has occurred in
 waich the Chinese officials have refused to allow any interference with their forms of procedure.
 In every case where there has been an investigation of the kind proposed, the
 same objections have been made, the Chinese officials feeling that they may lose prestage with their people If they allow foreigners to participate Tn their courts. These objections have always | ended in the submission Of the Chinese after some delay. It can be stated au
 thoratively that the instructions to Min ister Denby cover ali questions now in controversy, and that the investigation l will be conducted in such a manner as 1 to allow the American representative to secure complete and full information as | to the cause of .he riots and the persons ! participating in them, whether high or low. The assurance has also been given 1 that this will be done in such manner as to leave nctbiug for complaint by the | American people On the score of failure to obtain the facts relating to the dis | turbances.
 l It is pot et all probable that Minister | Denby has been directed to make such ! demand as that to be made by ,he Brit ish minister at Picking, as it is known | here that such demand will not be necessary. It is understood that the | Chinese minister had informed his gov | erament that the best interests of China will be served by according to the Amer | ican and British officers the most thor | ough facilities for obtaining all informa- tion desired. The attention of China | has been called to the fact that when | the United States government was in- ves.igatipg the Chinese riots in this l country officials of the Chinese govern | ment were asked to be present to obtain all the particulars.
 It is not believed that at the State Department that the refusal of the | Chinese authorities will do more than to delay the investigation for time, | until the Chinese government can ] direct the officers of Ku- Chang to ac- cord the American and British officials the right to be present and to direct the investigation into the channels which will bring out the facts.
