ing Of the Massacre.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 14.-Secretary Hay
has received an undated dispatch from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
stating that the Governor of Honan
Fshanfi has issued proclamation favora-
bic in its terms to 1.-The Boxers"
Honan Fshanf is the province lying
Immediately northwest of Shanghai and
between that city and Pekin.
Consul General Goodnow's short dis
patch goes to confirm the general belief
that the situation in China is steadily
growing worse instead of better. The
Honan Shansi referred to by Mr.. Good
now as the place where the Viceroy APP
pears to favor the Boxers, is said at the
state Department to be actually two
separate provinces of vast extent lying
in the Western and Northern portion of
China. Shansi, meaning Western Island,
is the province lying directly west of
Chilli, in which Pekin is located. Honan
adjoins Shansi on the south. The two
might present an almost impossible bar
rier it, as Mr.. Goodnow indicates, they
are disaffected and undertake to oppose
the northward march of the armies of
Lii Hung Chang and the other great South
ern Viceroys upon Pekin. The Consul
Generals message was undated, and as
this lack of knowledge as to the exact
time of happenings recorded in the cable
grams of the Naval and State Depart
ments officials is embarrassing and may
lead to serious results, the Government
here today, cables instructions to it's rep
resentatives in China TO include the date
in the body of every dispatch sent by
them.

NO MENTION OF THE PEK1N MASSACRE.
Remey Reports the Arrivai of Two Japanese
Transports at Che Foo.
By Associated Press.)

BY Associated Press.)
Washington, July 14.-Secretary Long
today received the following cablegram
from Rear Admiral Remey, Commander
in-Chief of the naval forces in the Asiatic
station:
"Che Foo, July 14th.
Secretary Navy, Washington.
1.-TWO Japanese transports arrived to-
day. Landed commander and marine regi
ment, stores, field pieces and ammunition.
Report Chinese defeated at two new
positions commanding the river communf-
cation with Tien Tsin.
(Signed) "REMEY.'
The Importance of this cablegram, in
the opinion of Secretary Long lies in
the fact that it makes no mention of the
reported massacre at Pekin, which it
would surely do had the story come to
Admiral Remey's ear
MILES AND MINISTER WI.
Lieutenant General Miles called at the
Chinese Legation today and had a talk
with the Chinese Minister, Mr.. WI. This
naturally aroused comment in connection
with the vague rumors afoat that Gen
eral Miles might go to China. 1t was
stated later, however, by those in
position to be thoroughly informed OF
General Miles plans, that the call on
Minister WI was entirely devoid of Off
cial significance and that General Miles
has no present purpose of going to China.
1t is stated that General Miles has not
asked for service in China and that such
move would not be considered for a
moment under the present circumstances.
IT is appreciated, however, that the
situation may develop at any moment so
that a large army will be required, in
which case General Miles might determ-
inc to take the field in person. For the
present he is exercising care in the
preparations for getting the American
troops on the ground, the details OF sup
plies, transportation, etc. The diplomatic
instructions of General Chaffee, who is in
immediate command OF the forces in
China, are quite apart from those of a
military nature.

sHENGs REPORT IS DIsCREDITED.
The Mobilization of Germany's Expeditionary
Force for China.
(By the Associted Press.


London July 15.-(Sunday)-Th only
news from China last night was the fol-
lowing, issued at midnight:
THE Foreign Office has received in
formation from the Consul General at
Shanghai that the whole foreign COM
munity from Wen Chow has been safely
landed at Shanghai
AS no mention is made of the alleged
statement of Sheng, the Director General
of Railways and Telgraphs of China to
the consuls at Shanghai, announcing the
murder of the foreigners in Pekin, it is
presumed that this story, cHeditfng Sheng
with these assertions and announcing that
he blamed Prince Tuan for the attack on
the Legations, is one of the many inven-
tions emanating from Shanghai.
According to dispatch from Berlin
the mobilization of Germany's expedi-
tionary force is being carried out in splen-
did fashion. Some 10000 volunteers and
416 officers have already been accepted.
