Minister WI Blames Prince Tunn.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-AIinlster WI
asserts that the edIcts said to have
been promulgated by the empress, de-
claring war upon foreign nations, are
forgeries, for which Prince Tuan and his
party arc probably responsible. He Is
without news from China, but believes
that the viceroys will not accept the
edicts. He expresses his sorrow at the
report OF Minister Conger's assassina-
tion, but insists that his government is
in no way responsible for the acts OF
lawless rebels. He says on this point:
"AIy government has It's hands tod.
They are unable TO handle the mobs, az
many OF the soldiers they send to attack
them become dissatisfied or are already
SO for some reason, and desert to the
enemy Of the government What could
one possibly do under tho clrcum-
stances? 1t would be just the same
here In Washington. Should mob at
tack one Of the legations or your whito
house and the soldiers sent to suppress
it should join the mob. what could be
done to prevent such damage? This is
just the situation In China to-day"
That the relief column has not before
this pushed on to the rescue Of foreign
ers in Peking excites Minister Wu's
wonder. With 5000 troops, he thinks
there would have boen no difficulty n
waeL 100 IN rcaching.the capital. He
now fears that every'foreiguer In tho
capital has been murdered.
