MINISTER'S LEAVE PEKIN
Now En Route to Tien Tsin Escorted
 by Chinese

London, July P Q1:SO a. m.)-This morn- ing's reports from Shanghai reiterate the allegation that the surviving members of the diplomatic corps have already left Pekn on their way to Tien Tsin, and added that the foreigners are being escorted by troops of Jung Lu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese forces.
 The move is stated to be the outcome of a very strong interview between Lii Hunp Chang and the foreign consuls. and to bayo been taken in the hope of abating the wrath Of the powers and delaying the advance of the allies toward Pekin.
 A dispatch received from the sama sources states that half the foreipners ,, Pekfn have been killed or wounded or have died from the privations they have under gone.
 Simultaneously comes a cable dispatcb to the Daily Mail from Shanghai announc,ns that a letter has been received from Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minister to China, under date of Pekin, July 6, saving the legations were under constant fire and that three were still standing, but that the foreigners were receiving no assistance Srom the authorities.
 Owing to the cowardice of the Chinese. Sir Claude wrote, it was hoped that the legationers would be able to hold out for a fortnight, but if they were pressed their resistance could not last more than four days at the utmost.

THE CHINESE OFFER
 IS CURTLY REFUSED

Washington, July H.-Secretary Hay sig nalized his return to Washington from Canton this morning by the announcement that under no circumstances will the United States government accept the Chi nese offer to turn over the foreign minis ters to the internationals at Tien Tsin in consideration of the suspension of the cam- paign against Pelin. long cablegram was sent today to Rear Admiral Remey at Taku and it is believed that the instruction was laid upon him.
 The State Department claims to be pursu- ing an entirely consistent course in this de- cision. The officials point out that all of the bitter criticisms in the European papers directed against the United States policy is based on a total misunderstanding of the fundamental principles which have gov- erned the actions of the department
 At no time, it is said, has the State De- partment allowed the belief that the for eign ministers at Pekin were alive to inter- fere in the slightest degree with the mili- tary plans for reaching Pekin On the contrary, the news that the ministers were alive was accepted by the State Depart ment not as conveying absolute verity, but as an additional reason for hastenlng the relief column forward to Pekin
 It was the departments contention that even though degree of improbability surrounded the Chinese news as to the state of affairs in Pekin, yet every con- sideration of humanity and policy de- manded that 1t should be given careful consideration and that it should be acted upan as If true, provided that action went toward the relief of the foreign ministers and did not operate to prevent the consum- nation of any of the objects laid down in Secretary Hays note. The department Is absolutely satisfied that It's attitude was perfectly correct and that even European critics will, in time, admit that fact.
 Secretary Hays decision to decline the latest Chinese proposition was based upon
The age-herald., 1900-07-28

his determination to adhere strictly to the conditions laid down in the reply to the Chinese Emperor's appeal. The State De- partment required that the ministers at Pekin be put in communication with the governments and the most significant cc-- dition of all that the Chinese authorities cooperate with the relief expedition for tue liberation of the Ministers. Unless these things are done, the State Department ab- solutely refuses to be led into any arrange ment looking to the mitigation of the pun 1shment of the Chinese government such as the abandonment of the expedition to Pekin
 special cabinet meeting was held in Secretary Hays office at Il o'clock the usual hour. The Secretary of State, fresh from his personal intercoure with the Pres ident, was in position to advise his col leagues of the administrations purpose and the whole Chinese situation was discussed. Besides Secretary Hay there were present Secretary Gage, Postmaster General Smith and Secretary Root.
 When the Cabinet conference adjourned 1t was stated that no further definite plans concerning the action of the Government had been prepared. The meeting was a general interchange of opinions and views. Secretary Hay laid before the members the latest information he has received includ- ing a dispatch from Consul General Good now at Shanghai.
 Q hC ooNciuhcut Has IeCSiVSQ lIlOTHdtIOn presumably from Admiral Remey that the number of allied troops at Tien Tsn is 2S,- coo The movement of the troops from Tien Tsin to Pekin, Secretary Root said, would depend on the arrival and mobilization of the troops.
 All the United States troops that could possibly be spared had been ordered to China. There was no official advices from any Chinese source over night except short message from the signal service off, cer at Nagasaki announcing that all was well with the troops.

 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that three versions of Sir Claude MacDonalds letter of July 9th are current there, and that it is believed that all three originated from Chinese sources He adds, however, that Ii Hung Chang says the Legation party ought to reach Tien Tsin on Sunday
 The Morning Post correspondent at Che Foo, wiring Wednesday, says there is a rumor that Prince Ching rescued the Le- gationers and conveyed them to place of safety
 Eighteen missionaries have been massa- cred at Tung Chau, where the churches have been burned
 It Is stated in Berlin with a show of au- thority that both Germany and Russia are determined to infiict exemplary punishment
 Sir Claude MacDonaId's Letter
 The text of the Shanghai dispatch to the Daily Mail follows:
 Shanghai, July 27 "A letter just received here from Sir Claude Macdonald, dated Pekin, July 6. follows:
 We are receiving no assistance from the authorities. Three Legations are still standing, including the British. We also hold part of the city walls. The Chinese are smelling us from the city with a three- inch gun and some smaller ones and are "sniping" us. We may be annihilated any day. Our ammunition and food are short
 We would have perished by this time only the Chiense are towards and have no organized plan of attack. If we are not pressed we may hold out a fortnight long, CT; otherwise four days at the utmost I anticipate only slight resistance to the relief force'"
 Sir Claude concludes by advising the re- lief force to approach by the eastern gate or by way of the river
 The losses of the foreigners in Pekin up to July was 70 killed and 80 wounded
