Washington, Aug. 17.-In all proba.
bility the ministers are now in the hands
of the allies. If they have not left Pc
king by this time, it is due to necessary
delay in preparing for the moving of SO

ments and that memorandum was sent

in reply to one received from Ii. but the

ably take the ministers out.
