WAsHIYGToS, Aug l0.-The acting sec.
retary OF state has received telegram
from Nashville. signed Jointly by the
Southern Methodist and Pres byterian Mis-.
sionary society officials urging the state
department to protect the American mis-
sious in China. Adee has responded by

DENLY had already taken the most Wig.
orous measures to secure the safety Of
the Americans, ana that renewed in.
struct;ons to tha. end had already been
mailed to the minister. II is not doubt
ed that DENLY is doing everything possi-
be in these disturbed conditions to care
for the missionaries.
But there are some things beyond his
power to accomplish at this time. He has

the American consuls in China urged the

lister, and If he believes it prudent to send
some OF his sailors and marines overland
through hostile country he is fully au-
thorized by his instructions from the navy
department TO do so.
a high official Of the navy, commenting &
on the criticisms that have been made be-
cause American gunboats have not done
something to protect the mi ssicnaries in
China, said that it would be useless to
attempt to send n force from the ships by
land, and drew a comparison of sup
posed riot in Utah where British subjects
were killed and said it would be unreason-
able to expect British warships to reach
Salt Lake or to send an armed force from
