CONGER'S FIRST MESSAGE
ITS DATE AND GENUINENEss SEEM ES
TABLISHED BEYOND DOUBT.

Washington Aug. 4.-The State Department
authorizes the following statement IN regard to
the probable date Of the first dispatch from Min
lister COnger. to which, in transmitting it
through Sheng, at Shanghai, and Minister WI.
the Tsung-H-Yamen assigned the date OF
July IS:
The Department of State is in possession Of
the original cipher text Of the entire message
as received by Minister WI on July 20 and COM
municated by him 10 Secretary Hay on the
morning Of that day. 1t is partly in the Chinese
states The TWO texts were separated by sew
eral groups not intelligible in either cipher As
deciphered on July 20 the Conger message ap-
peared TO begin with the words In British Le-
cation under continued shot and SHE'LL etc.
With the aid of the full text, as telegraphed
from Che-Foo by Consul Fowler, and already
given to the press. the doubtful groups, which
were distorted IT CelegraphiC transmission have
now been corrected anc found 70 read: For
one month we have been besieged"-which in
telllgibly completes the sentence, making the
telegram read:
For one month have been besieged in
British Legation, under continued shot and
shell from Chinese troops. Quick relief only
can prevent general massacre CONGER"
AS II IS known that the various legations and
foreigners took shelter in the British Legation
about June II. the date OF Mr.. COnger's tele-
gram IS fxeG with approXouite certainty as
July II This agrees with Consul FOwler's
cabled statement that the original message as
written on regular telegraph form, and signed
"COnger," is supplemented by the words: E H.
Conger, July IL address L. s. Legation" writ
ten the same form, but evidently not trans
mitted.
The fact that the authentic text Of the original
message as received in Washington on July ~
agrees literally with Consul Fowler's report or
the wording Of the original form written oy
Minister COnger and bearing the nle date or
July II appears TO establish the genuineness
of the message and its date beyond doubt.

The State Department, in giving prompt pub

ing Of wounded soldiers by Admiral Seymour on

he was present when Admiral seymour's column
arrived. and that the wounded were with him.
Il met the column when 1t arrived" said DR..
Smith "and assisted IN attending the wounded
