wellington. June 2s--Yesterday the
oa,als here felt sure that the foreign
r,lnl.ters to China were safe with Ad-
mlral seymours column This morn
,ng tbat confidence is shaken The only
ae,ia dispatch received over night
,r,,o the seat of troublesome from Ad-
,nlraI Kempn-was so barren Of the IN
,.,,,stioa so earnestly demanded here
=. to cause severe criticism at the adj
n,rals expense. His dispatch makes no
,snton OF the ministers welfare nor
-, s.vmours column, Taken in con-
nsction with the press dispatches from
che Foo via Shanghai relative to the
return OF seymour's broken column to
r,e, Tsin. the officials feel that they
have good ground for renewed appre-
benslon as to the fate of the foreign
ministers.
The conclusion drawn by navy de-
rartment officials from Admiral
Kempf's dispatch is that ne IL not in
communication with Tien Tsn, and
that Notwithstanding the cable COM
panys notice Of yesterday there is stu
no new route open TO that city, save
bv runners who must pass through
country beset by Boxers to reath Che
Foo
DEALING WITH YICEROYs.
An explanation was had at the state
DEPARTMENT today of the report from
shanghai that the consuls there were
negotiating with the Chinese yiceroys
respecting the protection of the city.
Because they were cut of from com
munication with Minister Conger from
whom they should receive instructions
IN normal conditions, the American con-
suls In China had been embarrassed IN
dealing with the local Chinese author-
ties by reason Of the necessity of secur-
ing Instructions from Washington al
every point. Therefore Secretary Hay
sent a general instruction TO all of the
American cOnsuls In China who could
be reached by cable and wire authoriz-
ine them to deal directly with the vice.
roys and taots in framing measures FOR
the protection Of American lives and
property.
IN CASE OF WAR.
Shanghai has heretofore been made
neutral port during time OF war by |
special agreement between foreign con- !
suls and che Chinese officials and II is |
probable that a similar arrangement !
win be made now The only condition !
IS that before Withdrawing their naval |
forces from the treaty ports the foreign |
c0nsuls must feel assured that the |
Chinese officials are not only willing |
but perfectly able 10 ensure the safety !
Of the foreigners in the town.
The Ninth infantry, which Is reported |
70 have cleared yesterday from Manila,
should reach Taku about Wednesday !
next, the fourth OF July The war de-
partment already had anticipated Ad-
miral Kempffs suggestion relative to
landing the troops at Taku Instead OF |
Che Foo.
