MINISTERS MAY COMMUNICATE
Imperial Government Orders For
eigners to Tientsin.

Paris, Aug. 6.-Cheng, director gen.
eral OF railways and telegraphs, has just
communicated to the consuls at Shanghai,
according to special dispatch to the
Temps dated August 3, an imperial decree,
dated August 2, authorizing the foreign
ministers in Pekin to communicate with
out restriction with their governments and
ordering their departure for Tientsin I'M
der a good escort.
"An WeII-No Fighting Since 10th"
Washington, Aug. ca belated mes
sage from Minister Conger was re-
ceived today at the state department. 1t
came through Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai. The advices are the same as
those received day or two ago by the
state department from Consul Fowler at
Chefoo Mr.. Adee, acting secretary OF
state, later in the day issued the following
statement:
Consul General Goodnow, in cable
gram dated Shanghai, August 8, which
was received at the department OF state
at o'clock this Sunday morning, re-
ports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale at
Iientsin OF messages from Minister Con
ger and the secretary of the legation,
Mr.. Squires, dated July q, to the follow
ing effect:
".All well; no fighting since the 10th,
by agreement. Enough provisions. Hope
for speedy relief"
Mr.. Goodnow adds that Director of
Posts Sheng had on the 9th made to him
an imperial edict dated July 80, ordering
Jung Lu to provide an escort for the min
listers to Tientsin, when the ministers fix
the date. The eulct says the ministers
can receive messages in cipher, but, not
withstanalng this, plain messages were
returned to some consuls on August 4.
While the messages from Minister Con-
ger and Secretary S9uires bear the date
of July q, the belief, founded not only
upon them, but also upon collateral and
later information, is that the legationers
are yet safe from immediate harm. At
present there is no means OF knowing
whether the ministers will accept the of
fer of the Chinese imperial government to
provide an escort for them to Tientsin,
but it is surmised that they will prefer
to remain with the British legation at
Pekin until the arrival of the allied forces.
Should they leave for Tientsin in all prob
ability it would be because they regarded
it as the safer course to pursue.
1t is thought to be not unlikely that
the Chinese government may be very in
sistent upon the departure of the minis
ters in the hope that if they can be got
ten to Tientsin in safety the storming OF
Pekin may be averted.

Within gunshot they formed in line
and shots were exchanged. Quicker
came the firing. The little 30-calibre
