GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Feel Certain Minister DENLY Is Acting
Promptly In Chinese Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-No late official
news has been received over at the state
department from China nor have any ad-
ditional instructions been sent to Unitet.
States Minister DENLY.
The cablegram which was sent by some
Americans in Shanghai to President
Cleveland direct will probably in due
course be referred by the president to Sec
rotary Olncy, and by him will be for
wartcd to Acting Secretary Adee, who
has been giving the whole subject of the
missionary troubles in China his most
earnest attention.
The reference in the cablegram to q
commission of Investigation, the compost
lion of which is matter of complaint, is
so vague as to leave it open to doubt
which commission is meant. If the refer
cnce is to the Chung-Tu commission,
which was created more than month
ago, it is easy to see why Minister DENLY
was content to allow the British Officials.
to make the investigation.
AT the state department it is contendcd
in the first place that no Americans were
injured in the riot at that place and the
British are the people directly concerned,
and in the second place there could be no
valid reason why Mr.. DENLY should doubs
the impartiality of the British officials and
accept their findings of fact as the basis OF
his own action, particularly as the place
where the inquiry will be conducted is SO
remote from the seaboard or any accessible
point as to make it very difficult for an
American official to get to it.
1t may be, however, that the cablcCram
refers to q commission about to be an
pointed to investigate the rioting at Tu-
Chung, and in this case the departments
does not know what Minister DENLY has
done in the exercise of his discretion. bu.
there is believed to be no reason to oues-
ton his judgment, or his disposition to do
everything possible that will tend to pro-
tect the missionaries.
Relative to the request contained in the
cablegram that a marine guard be sent in
land with the commission, whichever il
may be, it is said that Minister DENLY will
undoubtedly call upon Admiral Carpenter
for a sufficient escort for the selected
American representatives. if the latter so
desires, and Admiral Carpenter, under his
discretionary orders from the navy depart
ment, has ample authority to respond TO
the call
Meanwhile it Is assumed that Mr..
DENLY, so far from being inactive, is stead
lily and undistubed by clamor, bringing the
strongest pressure to bear directly upon
the Chinese government at Pekin, which.
it is claimed, is the only power that can
effectually and permanently stamp out
the yegetarans by forcing the Chinese
governor and magistrates to do their full
duty in the protection of foreigners, and
if necessary to this end, by decapitating
some of the guilty officials for the sake Of
example.

PROTECT THE MISSIONS
The Pope Writes Emperor William TO
Take Prompt Action.
Foreigners Ordering Arms = Minister Denoy
Believed 10 BE Doing His Best.

London, Aug 1.-THE Telegraph prints
Shanghai dispatch saying the municipal
council of Shanghai has offered british
Consul Mansfield of Foo-Chow nm escort
of 80 mounted Sikhs to accompany him to
Kuchcng Consul Mansfield declined the
offer.
The dispatch says that the foreigners at
the river ports are ordering arms from
Shanghai by telegraph.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
its Berlin correspondent stating that the
nope has written to Emperor William re-
aucsting his majesty TO protect the Catho-
lie missions in China.
The chairman of the Indignation meet
ing held in Shanghai to protest against
outrages upon foreigners and to demand
protection, has sent The Times the follow
ing statement:
ave strongly urge upon the British pco-
pie and the house of commons that Lord
Saisbury's demands upon the Chinese
government are utterly inadequate.
THE Chinese authorities have always
promised to protect missions and TO pun
ish the guilty, but they
Never Perform Their Promises.
1--WE believe that the outrageS are gen
orally in.pircd by officials
at is imperative that the consul at Foo
Chow shall have Il British escort to accom-
pany him 20 ChongT u. Tie commission
of inquiry must be reformed.
Both eases require that more than one
British official of adequate rank shall be-
appointed Delay will be dangerous to
the outrosts and mission stations"
Americans ut Shanghai have sent cable
dispatch to President Cleveland protesting
against the action of Minister DENLY in
consuming that II British consul should
represent the United States at the inquiry
into the outragcs on Christians at ku-
cheEg.
They recommend in the dispatch that the
commission of inquiry be reformed and
that an American official of adequate
rank be made a member of it, while Chi
nese officials who were in any way impli- |
Gated in the massacres be excluded.
The dispatch concludes by urging that
the commission be accompanied to ku-
Cheng by an escort of marines.
