HAYS WARNING TO CHINA.
Tells II Hung Chang Isolation of Conger ID
"unfriendiy" aud Hints ut Serious
Results.

The state department has made pub
lie the following spopdence be-
tween LII Hung Chang and the depart
ment regarding the abandonment of
the campaign on Pelxin:
In reply to suggestion of Lii Hung
Chang that the ministers might be sent
under safe escort to lien Tsiu, provid.
ed the powers would agree not to
march on Pekin, the secretery of state
replied on the 30th OF July:
This government will not en- ter into
any arrangement regarding disposition
or treatment of legations without first
having free communication with Min
lister Conger. Responsibility for their
protection rests upon Chinese govern
mcnt Power to deliver at Tien Tsin
prcsupposed power to protect and to
open communication, This is insisted
on"
This message was delivered by Mr..
Goodnow on the 3lst TO vieeroy Ii
Hung Chang. who then inquired weth-
or, II free communication was estab-
lished between ministers and their gov
ernments it could be arranged that the
powers should not advance on Pelxin
pending negotiations
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent on the lst of August
Free communication with our rep
resentatives in Pelsin is demanded as a
matter of absolute right and not as a
favor. Since the Chinese government
admits that it possesses the power TO
give communication it puts itself in an
unfriendly attitude by denying it,
No negotiations seem advisable un-
Til the Chinese government shall have
put the diplomatic representatives of
the powers in full and free communica-
tion with the respective governments
and removed all danger to their lives
and liberty.
We would urge Earl Lii earnestly to
advise the imperial authorities of China
to place themselves in friendly com
munication and cooperation with the
relief expedition. They are assuming
heavy responsibility in acting other
I wise
Secretary Hays reply to Ii Hung
Chang has closed the negotiations with
China, unless the old viceroy is able to
secure the full acceptance of our terms
relative to the foreign ministers, and
that at once.
The word ''unfriendly," in diplomat
c parlance, is extreme, and implies
almost position of actual war.

Kruger's Paper Money worthless.

The Boer animosity to President
Kruger grows on account of the fact
that he and his officials are persuading
the people that South African republic
paper money is as good as Bank Of
England notes, because 1t is based on
inalienable state securities, even
though the state should be conquered.
As the English have not recognized thia
contention, many burghers have been
ruined and much misery prevails. The
wives and children of the poorer Beers
are almost starving.
