GUARDING MINISTER WI.
Four Policemen Detailed 20 PROTECT
the Chinese Diplomat.

Minister WI Tins-fang. and. in fact all
the members of the Chinese Legation and
the legation property. are under police pro-
lection and have been since the outbreak
in China. The protection amounts TO more
than the ordinary police surveillance. II
is a special detail Of four policemen in
citizens clothes. who in pairs are con-
stantly on watch at the legation.
The object OF the detail is obvious.
though Major syl.ester tcday stated that
he felt no alarm for the legation or its
properties and was rot apprehensive Of any
trouble.
He said the detail was more a matter of
form than anything else, and would, he
thought, have no more serious conditions

able, discourtesy at the hands of some ia
naticai or cranky citizen or citizens
Whether such condition might at any
time arise Major Sylvester. OF course. could
not say He WAS simply taking a precau-
tion, he said.

is closely watched. As matters now stand
il would be almost impossible TO gain ae-
