The announced purpose of the Chinese
Government to protect the foreign
ministers is gratifying TO the officials;
here. for they have all along been
more or less doubtful OF the authen-
ITCHY of the several dispatches which
have omanated from Shanghai re-
speeding the relations between Prince
Ching and the lesationcrs.
NO ANSWER CALLED FOR.
1t is said that the note does not call
for an answer from the state Depart
mont at this stage, and will not ma
terially affect the military program
laid down by our governments Such
forces as we can land in China will be
pushed forward with rapidity to Pc
kin.
The ONLY consideration that would
induce the <AdministI alton to relax that
program at any point would be the
re-openng of communication with
Minister Conger and his release from
any sort of duress or restraint. Posi-
