CHINA BLAMES

Says Their Firing on Taku
Precipitated Trouble.
AYERS LEGATIONS
ARE PROTECTED
Official Note Puts Feather in
Kempff's Cap.

Washington, July 11.-Wu Ting Eng
the Chinese minister TO this country
this morning delivered to Secretary
Hay copy of a cablegram received
by him purporting to be from the hi
nese imperial government disclaiming
responsibility on the part of the i'm
perial government for the Boxer trou-
bles, asserting that the engagement at
Tien Tsin was the direct result of, the
bombardment of the Taku forts by the
foreigners, and declaring that the di-
plOmats were protected
Admiral KemDF has scored another
credit through the statement, as the
Dombardment of the forts at Taku was
done over his protest and without his
participation.
The imperial decree is dated 3rd day
of Sth moon. and was received by tele-
graph today by Minister WI from the
Taotai Of Shanghai, transmitted on
July l from the treasurer of the Chih
Ii province, who received il by special
courier on June 80 from the board of
war, who in turn received it from the
privy council in Pekin.
The decree is as follows:

In the first place there arose in the
provinces Of Chi Ii and Shan Tung a
band of rebellious subjects who had
been in the habit of practicing boxing
and fencing in their respective villages
and at the same time clothing their
doings with spiritual and strange rites.

notice of them at the time According

BLAMEs FLOUR FOR TROUBLE

troubles there than is our American

secretary of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions
When asked his opinion Of the cause IF

recruiting office many men offer to
enlist if they can be assigned to regi-
ments which are expected to be trans
ferred to the far east.
The trouble in China is however. hav-
ing little effect on enlistments in the
navy, according to the officers in
charge of recruiting here. Applicants
Tor naval service do not seem so
thirsty for war and few recruits for
Chinese service are made.
Lieutenant R L. Russell who is in
charge of the navy recruiting office
SAID; we have seen only two or
three men at this office whose desire ro
enter the navy depended on their being
assigned TO the Chinese sation. Per-
haps ii is because they realize that we
could do nothing with such requests.
We are having a great rush of good
men just at present and enIistments at
this office alone average fifteen a day
Most of them are landsmen who enter
the navy at SIG a month We are also
getting a number of machinists and
second-class electricians. These men
realize that the large number of new
ships which viii be put in commission
during the next few years will make
their chances Of advancement to petty
Offices very likely. The increased and
improved navy also assures them a fine
shin for sea service.
l. believe that there are more men
going into the navy now than at any
time since the patriotic stampede
which Immediately followed the naval
victories that brought the Spanish war
to close. The service cannot become
too popular, however. and we will need
