Minister WINS Dispatch.

Washington July 1.-THE Chinese
minister, Wu Ting Fang, to-day receiv-
ed dispatch from the minister at Lon
don, authenticated by Sheng, the imper-
ial inspector of posts and telegraphs at
Shanghai, and by two viceroys, declar-
ing that the foreigners in Pekin were
safe on July q and were receiving the
protection of the government. This Is
two days after the reported massacre
Minister Wu a. once laid this mes
sage before Secretary Hay. The text
of the dispatch was as follows:
1.-THE utmost efforts have been made
to protect foreign ministers, who were
we'll on the 18th (Chinese calendar cor
responding to our July 81. IF Tien Tsin
city should be destroyed it would be DIFF
ficult 20 restore the same in 100 years.
Request the powers to preserve It, as
the consequences would affect Chinese
and foreign commerce. Earl Ii Hung
Chang is transferred to north China
as viceroy to Chi Ii. Please transmit
this dispatch to ministers at other cap
itals."
This dispatch, which was dated July
16, was signed by Viceroys Liu Kun vi
and Chang Chih -Tung of Marking and
Wauchang respectively, and also by
Sheng, director of posts and telegraphs
at Shanghai. 1t was addressed to the
Chinese minister In London, and by him
transmitted to Minister Wu under to-
days date.
Minister Wu received the despatch
about II o'clock this morning and was
greatly pleased at this satisfactory

the state department, where he re-
mained with Secretary Hay for some
time. Beside presenting to Mr.. Hay the
contents of his dispatch, Minister WI
also officially executed the direction for
an appeal to the powers not to destroy
the walled city of Tien Tsin.
So far as the United States Is con-
cerned there has been no purpose wan
tonly to destroy this walled city, al
though the latest news from the scene
of action indicates that the walls
themselves have been battered down
and a considerable portion of the city
destroyed. Mr.. Wu said afterward that
he feared the destruction of the city
was little short of complete.
The minister expressed the most
complete confidence in the accuracy of
the message showing that the foreign
ministers We're well on the 9th instant.
When a bystander expressed some
doubt on this subject, Mr.. WI inquired
with some warmth: "Why is it that
you believe the exaggerated reports
coming from unknown sources and yet
you choose to doubt this report signed
by our highest officials and containing
inherent evidence of accuracy?'
The minister went on to show that
this dispatch contained three distinct
statements. One Of them, the appoint
ment of Ii Hung Chang as viceroy of
Chi Ii, had been confirmed already by
the state department. Moreover, he
said all three statements bore evidence
of having originated at Pekin, includ
ing that as to Ii Hung Chang, whose
appointment necessarily must originate
with the government at Pekin.
Tho appointment of Ii Hung Chang
as viceroy of Chi Ii is considered by
Minister WI as one Of the most i'm
portant developments in the entire situ-
alton. Chi Ii is the great province in
which Pel1in is located and is the veiy

the outrages committed by the revolu-
tionists in Pekin and other places in

press their sentiments on the matter. c.
w. Heoy, one of the most intelligent
Cinnamon in Boston, and a leader in

rected to President Mckinley. The adj
dress follows:
10 His Excelency, Wm. Mckinley, Presi-
dent Of the United States:-
Dear Sir-We the leading Chinese mer-
chants of Boston, and as representatives
of the Chinese race In this. vicinity, desire
to express to you and the American people
currences now taking place In our native
land We deplore the numerous acts of
violence in China, which we believe to have
believ and hope that as soon as the Chinese
government shall have rallied sufficient
force to It's support 1t will severely punish
the perpetrators Of the recent outrages.
we WGlcOlHG Tue tuOTLS u LIE Oulleu
States and other foreign nations to restore
peace and order In our now unhappy coun-

800 Chinese of Boston and various New
England cities and towns.
The address was written In Chinese
at first and presented to the Chinese In
that form for their signatures. The
copy sent to the president was pre-
pared in English and typewriter be-
fore the meeting 1t was adopted with
out dissent There Is feeling of deep
uncertainty and uneasiness on the part
of the Chinese Of New England. They
do not understand the character Of the
people here and think that so long as
the whites have suffered in China, 1t
would be logical for the Americans here
to make reprisals on the Chinese here.

Press that telegram Identical with the
one handed to Secretary Hay at Wash

been delivered to it by the Chinese min

to July according to the Gregorian
reckoning.
