Document.

Washington. July II - The state
department has finally concluded to
make public the Identical note which
was recently delivered TO the powers as
defining the position of the United
States respecting the Chinese troubles.
The circular which was sent TO our
foreign representatives is as follows:
Department of State. Washington. July
8, 900 this critical posture OF affairs
in China il is deemed appropriate to de-
fine the attitude of the United States as
far present circumstances permit this
TO be done We adhere to the policy
initiated by US in 1857, of peace with the
Chinese nation, of furtherance of lawful
commerce, and of protection OF lives and
property of our citizens by all means
guaranteed under eXtra-ter!itorial treaty
rights and by the law OF nations. If
wrong be done to our citizens. pro-
pose to hold the responsible authors to
the uttermost accountability We regard
the condition at Picking as one OF virtual
anarchy. whereby power end RESPONSE
bllity is practically devolNed upon the
local provincial authorities. So long
they are not in overt collision with rebel
hon and use their power to protect for
elSn life and property we regard them
as representing the Chinese people With
whom seek to remain in peace and
friendship. The purpose OF the president
is, it has been heretofore. to act con-
currently with the other powers. first, in
opening up communica ton with Pekins
and reScuing the American officials. mis-
sionaries and other Americans who are
in danger: secondly. in atfordins all pos
Sible protection everywhere in China to
American life and property: thirdly, in
guarding and protecting all legitimate
American interests: and fourthly, in aid
ing to prevent spread OF the disorders
to the other provinces OF the empire and
recurrence of such disasters. 1t is. of
course, too early to forecast the means
OF attaining this last result, but the pol
icy of the government OF the United
States is to seek Il solution which may
bring about permanent safety and peace
to China. preserve Chinese territorial and
administrative entity. protect all rights
guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty
and international law, and safeguard for
the world the principle of equal and inn
partial trade with all parts OF the Chi
ncSe empire.
You will communicate the purport of
this instruction to the minister of foreign
affairs. HAY"
