MIR. Wa Think. Italy was Eggcd
| On by Someone Elise.
| Washington, March THE Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI Ting Fang, Expresses
himself as highly gratilled at thesdeilnite
determination OF the United states TO
keep hands off China and to resist inti-
nations of other powers that the time is
ripe for. this country to take for itself a
port on the coast of China.
~ am sure the Chinese government
andipeople will not fail to observe this
strong evidence of good; WILL" saiu MIR.
WI today.
at Is not only another bond between
the two countries, but it has a special
significance just now. While the other
worl. powers seem moved by n spirit of
rapacty the United States takes that lofty
position of equity, justice and humanity
which has characterized her dealings with
other international questions of late, and
instead of joining in encroachments on
China, assumes an attitude of strict neu-
traliJy."
The minister had long conference
yesterday with Secretary Hay as TO the
situation in China and undoubtedly
learned officially and communicated to
Pekin what was made known to the pub
lie later in the day. 1t Is expected thot
the position of the United States in refus-
ing to seize any territory Will have an
lmportnn6 effect on affairs in Chinn,
strengthening the hands of those in au-
thority.
Speaking of Italy's action in king
an ''opon dnor" ON the Chinese const by
the acquisition Of San Nun Bay, MIR. Wa
said he was much surprised at this move.
as Italy had practically no trade with
China. Under such circumstances the
minls ster Is inclined to believe Italy would
not have acted until some of the other
powers had been sounded. What China
would do as to accepting or rejecting the
Italian claiIls, Mir. Wu has not been ad-
vised officially. Al, his Information indi-
Gates thas the refusal of Itaiy's request
was made In no offensive spirit.
MIR. Wa pointed out that China contin-
ued to have great stretch of coast with
"a large number Of large ports, through
which the commerce OF the world could
flow uninterrupteoly.
The recent visit of Admiral Lord Beras-
ford afforded an opportunity for exchange
of views between MIN and Count Cassint
the Russian amhassdor ana Mir. WI, AL
of whom were intimately familiar wi h
the large questions engrossing China.
Lord BeresfoId had conferred with otli-
cials of the Isung Ii Yamen and with
the viceroy and the leaders The result
of all bis study of the Chinese question
was summed up in the belief. openly an
nounced, that Great Britain. Germany
the United States and Japan should unite
to protect their interests In China bysas.
suring China stable government.
Mr.. WI did not commit himself on the
wisdom of Lord Beresford's plan of solv-
ing the Chinese question. but he was in
clined to believe that his Lordship's mis-
sion which was unofficial, would have
official results.

New York, March THE Portugess
steamer Vega, which arrived today from
st. Miohaels, brought the passengers of
the Cunard line steamer Pavonia which
was towed into st. Miohaels after ter
rible experience at sea. The total number
Of the Pavona's passengers was 81. of
which were saloon, II second cabin and
2s steerage. The Vega also brought four
cattlemen who were on the German
steamer Bulgaria which put into St.Mich-
aels disabled. DIR. j. W. Inches of st.
Clair, Mich, one of the cabin passengers
said:
1.-THE experience of me passengers OF
the Pavonia was frightful. Gale followed
gale and hurricanes prevailed through
out the whole time from Liverpool until
we landed at the Azores. During the
gales the terrible seas came over the
sides and swept everything before them :;
The steamer rolled so violently that six
boilers broke adrift andlthe steamer was
helpless on the ocean. Five steamer S
were sighted but the weather was SO
stormy that they we1e unable TO help us.
The crew of the Pavouia worked nobly
and did everything to make the passen-
gers as comfortable as possible under the
circumstances.
"When we finally got into st. Michaels
we were obliged to land in life boats dur
ing gale and it Is q great wonder that
none of us were lost, However, wo lnnd.
ed without any casualties. We embarked
on the Vegasfor New York. We have had
every care and comfort possible on the
way from the Azores home. "
The Pavonia sailed from Liverpool Jan
uary "a for Boston. The general opinion
of the Pavonias' passengers is that the
mem bers of the crew of that steamer de-.
serve every praise for their heroic efforts,
but that Capt Atkin did not merit the
same consideration. One passenger said
