WASHINGTON, D. c., August 10
President Cleveland has officially indI-
cutcd that Earl Ii Hung Chang will bo
the guest OF the nation during his forth
coming visit to this country, and Gen.
RuGgles. stationed at Governors Island.
has been designated 10 take charge OF
tho details OF the reception. The Chi
nese minister returned from New York
to-day, nfter seeing Gen. Rusgles and
eN-SeCretnry John W. Foster. The
Chinese authorities, recognizing that
Earl Ii Is IL guest, are loath TO make
any suggestions as 10 his reception, pre-
fcrrlng to leave all details with the
American officials
II is understood that Gen. RugGles
Will complete the arrangements by to-
morrow. Thus far II is settled only
that the Presidents reception of Ii will
occur In New York and not In WASH
lngton. As Il result there Is some doubt
whether the Chinese Ambassador will
visit Washington at all. rs the main
purpose OF HIS coming here was 10 pay
his respects TO the President
The proposed visit of Earl Ii TO Boston
has been abandoned also. the present
plnn being TO extend the stay In New
York because of the Presidents pres
ence there and TO shorten II elsewhere.
Under these circumstances no arrange
fhcnts have been made for Qunrtcring
tho distinguished guest at Washington.
