United States could not enter into an
alliance with the powers regarding
China, and added:

which is unnecessary but only of po-
litieal combination for specific purpose
There is no political question, but po-

TEN TsIN, June l2.--It was learned
that but forNthe firmness of the United
States consul and Captain McCalla {of
the Newark, in charge of the American
landing partly and the British consul
there would have been further delay III
dispatching the international guards to
Pekin, and the majority of the forces
would not have been British. At
meeting of the consuls and commanders
of troops, when the necessity for the
immediate dispatch of troops was con-
sidered, the representatives of two Eu-
ropean powers questioned the necessity
and afterwards disparaged the idea thai
the British force shosld preponderate
The Anglo Americans, however, in
sisted and carried their point.
