YU KENG MOST HOPEFUL.
Powers Will March on to PeI<in In
Spite of the Implied Threats
of Ii Hung Chang.

Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press)
Paris, July 28.-Yu Keng, the Chinese
Minister here, says he is convinced that
although some Of the buildings may have
been destroyed.
While this conviction is not shared by
the official and political world here, dis
patches received from the Far East dur
ing the past week have raised renewed
hope that some, II not all of the members
of the legations are still alive.
Minister Yu Keng thinks the silence Of
the ministers in Pekin not so ominous as
IT is considered abroad. and he asks that
China be given another FIVE days credit
to produce authentic and satisfactory
news OF the legations, or perhaps of the
ministers themselves. He himself is stili
in ignorance of the actual situation in
Pekin, but concludes from dispatches he
has. received from the provincial viceroys
and from kilograms asking the mediation
OF France. that Emperor Kwang Hsu and
the Empress Dowager have the upper
hand and that Prince Tuan has been def
nitely mastered.
Happily for my country and for the
foreigners" he said "Yupg Lu and Prince
Ching are, l believe. now In power, and
this leaves me hopeful-even though the
presumption OF the ministers may prove
correct-that the legationers are still
alive"
The feeling obtains here that this may
not solve the situation and that though
alive, the ministers are still probably held
as hostages. The equivocal declarations
OF Ii Hung Chang have served to deepen
the feeling Of m.strust regarding all Chi
nese affirmation and information.
VIII Hold China 20 Account.
The Associated Press learns that the
foreign governments intend to disregard
Ii Hung Chang's recommendsti stions-which
they believe are made in bad faith-not
TO march on Pekin. On the contrary, the

Attack on the Legations Ceased

tected.
London. July 2s.-The hopes of Europe
for the safety of at least some of the
members of the legations at Pekin, which,
earlier in the week had commenced TO
revive, are now f1ickering and at the
point of extinguishment.
1t has been pointed out here that there
has been ample time to get authentic
messages signed and dated by the min
listers. This is the only confirma ton of
Chinese assurances that will be accepta-
BILE. Until such advices have been re-
ceived or until the ministers have been
handed over in the flesh, the general pub
lie and the governments interests will
not attach any credence to further Chi
rese statements or consent to stay prep
arations for the advance of the relief
force towards Pekin.
The latest story, originating in other
than Chinese sources, is a special dispatch
from Che Foo dated July 27. according to
which Missionary Wilder, who started for
Pel1in a fortnight ago, has just returned
and reports that he found the imperial
Chinese forces completely surrounding the
Tartar city. He was unable to deliver a
message to The legation and in reply to his
entreaties the Chinese said they could not
allow any one a pass TO the foreigners.
According to reports the attack on the
legation ceased on the afternoon of July
II. Everything was quiet during the re-
maineer of Missionary Wilder's stay.
When he left on July IS. decree had been
issued commanding all persons to pro-
tect the foreigners in China.
Returning he saw no troops for sixty
mi es south of Pekin, but he learned that
10000 men were in the neighborhood of

ers but that the German Emperor merely
alluded to the Chinese who neither par
doned nor made prisoners"
A telegram from Rome reports that the
organ of the Vatican. commenting on the
speech of Emperor William, says that ii
is the earnest wish of the Pope and Car
dinal Rampolla that the Powers should
not resort to a policy Of retaliation and
vengeance, and that no Power should be
permitted to do this.
The Pope has issued a letter directing
prayers in all the churches for the safety
of the Christians, and instead of mo-
lives of revenge the letter expresses the
hope that the Almighty will inspire
thoughts of concord and peace which will
prevent further ruin and massacres.

The Malls correspondent proceeds:

gone to Ming Po. His friends will not

would cause him to lose his head.

Shanghai has received letter from the

engendered. and the situation having thus
changed for the worse. it is felt that if
China cannot be supported in maintaining
her position. foreign nations, looking to
so large ad populous country, so rich in
natural resources, might be tempted 10
exploit or despoil IL, and perhaps differ
among themselves with respect to their
conflicting interests. 1t is evident that
this will create state of matters that
would not be advantageous to Great Brit
ain, country which views commerce as
her greatest interest. China is now en-
gagged in raising men and means to cope
with these eventUalities, but she feels that
IL left to herself she might not be equal

hope of procuring her good offices In

culties that have arisen with the other

posure of what is nearest his heart, and
hopes this appeal to Her Majesty, the
Queen-Empress, may be graciously taken
under consideration, and an answer

Status of the Powers.
The parliamentary paper on China
shows that considerable negotiations had
previously passed between Great Britain
and the European Powers regarding the
policy of Japanese action, while Lord
Salisbury notified Ambassador Pauncefote
on June % as follows:
You should suggest to Secretary OF
State Hay that any troops which 1t is
possible to send from Manila would be
OF great value, as it is probable that the
United States legation is in great dam
ger, as well as the legations of the other
Powers"
Germany assumed the position regard
ing the Japanese matter that nothing
must be done to imperi the accord of
the Powers. Japan insisted upon an as
surance that her intervention would not
lead to a collision with Russia Russia
finally declared, on June 2S that she had
no desire to hinder Japans liberty, es-
pecially after her expressed intention to
conform her action to that of the other
Powers.
The correspondence shows that Count
Muravieff, the late Russian minister of
foreign affairs, took an optimistic view OF
the situation in China, but that Count
Lamsdorff, his successor. was far from
sharing in this sanguine view. He thought
that Northern China was in a state of
hopeless anarchy as did NJ. Delcasse, the
French minister of foreign affairs, who on
June considered the imminent danger
over, but who afterWard on July propos-
ed a collective note warning the govern
ment at Pekin. hoping that this would
demonstrate the solidarity of the accord
of the Powers.
NJ. Delcasse insisted that the relief of
the legations at Pel1in was far more i'm
portant than any petty grievances among
the Powers.
On June q, Lord Pauncefote informed
Lord Salisbury that in addition to the reg
iment already ordered from Manila to
Tien Tsin, 300 marines were going, though
at that date the United States did not
think state of war existed in China.
