to be a very emphatic statement of the
position of this government and saying
that action is Immediately necessary.
While it is not strictly speaking an ul-
timatum, it is very close to it.
The government officials here regard
the situation as very dangerous to Min.

Pekin, and grave doubt is expressed
whether the international force can
reach Pekin in time to rescue the min.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-s'In case the troops
advance the Chinese must fight The
suggestion that the allies should be al
lowed to enter Pekin in order to escort
the ministers to Tien Tsin is absolutely
impossible
This is the dictum of Ii Hung
Chang. It was transmitted during the
evening to Mr.. William Pritchard
Morgan, member of parliament for
Merthyr Tydvil, by his agent at Shang-
hal. The agent had carried to Earl Ii
a message from Mr.. Morgan urging
that the allied troops be allowed to
enter the capital and stating that a SET
tlement could be made at Tien Tsin
whereby war Of the world against
China would be averted, but even the
optimistic Ii failed to hold out the
slightest hope of it's feasibility, al.
though he reiterated to Mr.. Morgan's
agent his declaration that the ministers
had left Pekin, fixing the date of their
departure as Aug. 2. The agent makes
this comment:
1.-THE consuls are without confirma-

Chinese Situation So Regarded by Officials
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug 9.-The message
from Minister Conger brings the Chi
nese situation to its most serious stage
and the authorities in Washington re.
gard the matter as one Of great gravity.
They are aware that nothing but the
most vigorous action can meet the con.
ditions, save the ministers and other
foreigners in Pekin, and avert war of
long duration. After conference of
the men in charge of the diplomatic
and military affairs, in which President
Mckinley participated over the long
distance telephone, it was decided to
send a message to Consul General
Goodnow, repeating the contents of
the Conger message and advising him
that the situation was very serious and
crisis had been reached. He was di-
rected to communicate the fact to Ii
Hung Chang, to Sheng and other Chi
nese officials, who were to tranmit it to
the government of China
Will, Strong Representation
that the present situation was intoler-
able, aud could not be continued With.
out the most serious results. It is un-
derstood that the dispatch was practi-
cally an ultimatum and an early reply
was demanded. The answer is ex-
pected during the day or evening, and
it probably will determine the future
action of this government. It is not
believed by the war department. officials
that the international forces now oper-
atlng along the Pei river can reach Pc
kin in time to rescue the ministers if
active hostilities should begin against
tue legati oners by the imperial troops.
SO serious do the officials regard the
situation that it is believed by some
that there is greater safety for the min
listers and other foreigners to accept an
escort Of the imperial army to Tien
Tsin than to remain in Pekin if war
should be declared.
