LONDON is HOPEFUL
INCLINED TO OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF ORIENTAL SITUATION.
TEXT OF IMPERIAL EDIcT
Full of Protestations OF Good Faith
Says Christian Attitude Toward
Chinese People Precipitated the
Confict-Claims to Have Offered
Safe Conveyance for Ministers.

London, Aug. 9.-Beyond the official
news given out yesterday the morning
papers contain no direct information
of Importance from China, though
there is a general disposition to take a
more hopeful view of the situation.
The report of the appointment of
Field Marshal Won Waldersee as COM
mander-in-chie of the international
forces meets with general approval.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail announces the reception there OF
official dispatches from the Italian
minister at Pekin, asserting that he
left Pekin July 81, presumably for
Tientsin. This, however, is so utterly
at variance with the action and inten-
lions of the other ministers heard
from that it seems almost incredible.
If true it opens up an interesting field
of speculation concerning the fate of
the italian representative.
The text of the edict of Aug. 2, au-
thorizing the escort of the min
listers at Pekin to Tientsin,
legation says, in part: I'm view of the
existence Of hostilities between the
Chinese and the rebels and the foreign
powers, we have afforded reasonable
protection to the foreign representa-
tives in Pekin, and the tsung Ii yamen
has sent to the legations letters of in
quiry and proposals for their safe con-
veyance under escort to Tientsin, in or
der to avoid apprehension of further
attack from the rebels before the COM
plete restoration of peace and order
in the capital We have now on the
advice of Lii Hung chang and Liu Kun
vi authorized Yung Lu to escort them
to Tientsin II there be any rebels
en- route trying to endanger the safety
of the party, the officials will have to
destroy the rebels at once" Almost al
the news in yesterdays papers upon
which credence is placed comes either
from Washington or direct from the
British officials.
