NO NEWS FROr1 CONGER
OR FROM KEMPFF.
Absence of Reports Causes Appre-
hension at MISUNDERSTANDING
of Troops to China Advocated.

Washington. June I6.-Not a word of
news came TO the state department
over night from Minister Conger, who
has now been cut off from communi-
cation since last Tuesday. Even the
Unated States consuis In north China
ports were silent. Admiral Kempff has
not been heard from since yesterday.
This absence OF, official reports has
given rise 10 grave apprehension here.
IL was expected that there might be
delay In hearing from Mr.. Conger but
in the case of Admiral Kempn an
early report was looked for. and II Is
feared that the officers OF the foreign
fleet at Talxu have been prevented
from reaching the cable station there,
either by the open hostility OF the Box
ers or by the sinister orders OF the
Chinese government.
Yesterday Admiral Kempff was call
cd upon by direction of the president
for an explicit statement OF the situa-
tiOn and his needs. III was for him to
say whether he required reinforcements
and troops. If he is cut on from reply
then the government must act without
waiting much longer. OF course. in that
case * would have 10 proceed upon the
