BELATPn MESSAGE
FR0T MINISTER CONGER,
All Were Wen July 21-Enough Pro-
visions-Hoped For speedy
Relief

Washington, Aug CA belated mes
sage from Minister Conger was re-
ceived at the state department. 1t
came through Consul General Good
now at Shanghai, who transmitted
messages received by Mr.. Ragsdale
United States consul 1T Tier Tsin
from Mr.. Conger and Mr.. Squiers,
secretary of the United States Legal
ton ar Pekin In effect the advfces
are the same as those received IL day or
two ago by the state department from
Consul Fowler, mt Che Foo.
Mr.. G0odnoW's message was trans
mitted to President Mckinley at Can
ton, and Mr.. Adee. acting secretary
rof state, later issued the following
statement concerning it:
Consul General Go0dnow, in a ca
blegram dated Shanghai, August ).
which was received ut the department
of state at A o'clock this (Sunday)
morning reports the receipt by Con
sui Ragsdale, at Tien Tsin. of messages
from Minister Conger and the secre-
tary of the legation. Mr. Souiers. dated
July y. TO the following effect:
"'All we'll No fighting since the
10th by agreement. Enough provis-
ions. Hope for speedy relief
Mr. Goodnow adds that the director
OF posts. Sheng, had. on the 18th. COM
municated to him an imperiaB edct.
dated July 30 ordering Jung Lu to
provide an escort for the ministers to
Tien rsin when the ministers fix the
date The edjct says the ministers can
receive messages not in cipher; but
notwithstanding this, plain messages
Were returned to some consuls on Au-
gust &"
While the messages from Minister
Conger and Secretary Squiers bore
date of July 81, the belief, founded
not only upon them. but also upon col
lateral and later Information. is that
the legationers are yet safe from at
least immediate harm. At present
there are no means of knowing wheth-
er the ministers will accept the offer Of
the Chinese imperial government to
provide an escort for them to Tien
Tsin; but it is surmised they will pre-
fer to remain within the British lega-
fion at Pekin until the arrival of the
allied forces Should they leave for
Tien Tsin in all probability it would
be because they regarded it the safe
course to pursue. 1t is thought to be
not unlikely that the Chinese govern
ment may be insistent upon the depart
ure of the ministers. In the hope, II
they can be got to Tien Tsin In safety
the storming of PekiH may be ayerted.
