DEMANDS LIFE FOR LIFE.

Britain bent on Exactinc Penalty ii En-
voys Are Slain. ...-
New York, Aug. "a dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says that England has notified the
Chinese government that it's members
will be held personally responsible for
the safety of the ministers and other
foreigners in Pekin. "An eye for an
eye and a tooth for tooth will be
vigorously exacted. For every minis.
ter slain a Chinese official must die.
Presumably the threat applies to the
member of the royal family from the
emperor and dowager empress,
through all the grades of princes of
the blood royal. down to tsung-li-
yamen and other officers.
This policy of retribution was an
nounced in the house of commons by
Mr.. Brodericll, parliamentary secretary
of the foreign Office. He added that
further information to the house
would serve no useful purpose.
A member asked if it was true. as
announced by Ii Hung Chang, that
the ministers had left Pekin under e.
cort of Jung LII. Mr.. Brodrick said
he had no confirmation Of the report
The reports about the ministers are
conflicting. One from TaEu says the
commander of the Italian cruiser Elba
has dispatch from the viceroy OF
Shantung, saying the legations were
safe on July 80. and that measures
were being taken to insure their safe
transport to Tientsin.
Then there is one from Shanghai
saying the Japanese consul had re-
ceived message that they were safe
Aug. l, but expected renewal of the
attack, and had only six days pro-
visions and twenty-five rounds of am
munition. The same report says the
Japanese secretary Of legation had
died of wounds.
And Gen. Chaffee's message to
Washington, saying the ministers
were safe on July Is, completes the
list.
1t is not believed here that the min
listers have started from Pekin.

washington, aug lV-A nc luMcu1oto
result of the message received by the
state department from Minister Con-
ger has been an important communi-
cation from the government of the Uni
ted States to the government of China,
which was delivered to WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister in Washington.
In addition to representing in very
emphatic language that China has not
complied with all the conditions look
ing to an amicable settlement. laid
down by President Mckinley in his
letter OF July %, In response to the
emperor's appeal for the presidents
mediation, the note is understood to
contain a new condition or suggestion,
in effect: That China. in order to
show her good faith toward the foreign
ministers in Pekin and their govern
ments, permit portion OF the allied
truce, to enter Pekin and take from
the legations and the city the foreign
ministers, other foreign officials, mis-
sionaries, marines, women, children,
and servants who have been Dcsiesed
for nearly two months. In making this
and other conditions as a basis for an
amicable arrangement OF the differ
ences between China and the powers,
the United States government has
again led the way towad an ending of
the troubles in which China has be-
come involved. To further test the
good faith of the Chinese government,
in its announcement through an impe-
rial decree received by Minister Wa
Ting Fang that the ministers and their
governments will be afforded free COM
munication in cipher, Acting Secretary
of State Adee sent, by direction of
President Mckinley. cipher tele-
gram addressed to Mr.. Conger at Pc
kin. The government will regard the
receipt of an answer to this message
as proof that the imperial authorities
are honest in the declaration contained
in the decree.
NAV Give Minister WI His Passport.
Washington, Aug. 10.-The Chinese
Minister may be given his passports in
the event of the failure of prompt COM
pliance on the part of his government
with the suggestions Of the state de-
partment. This will be done, however,
as a last resort, as the officials are
loath to break off diplomatic relations
with China, for when they do this
they close the way for Geographic
communications with the American
Minister. Minister Conger's advices
received last night have upset the off,
Gals of the administration, and to-
day they are in a state of mind bor
dering on despair, and they would not
be surprised to hear at any moment
that Minister Conger. his family, the
attaches of the American legation, and
the other diplomats have been massa-
cred by the Chinese.

Berlin, Aug. 10.-A German semi-otfi-
cial telegraph agency reports that the

trustworthy authority that Field Mar
shall Won Waldersee has been appointed
