tary Hays peremptory demand of Aug.

swer is not final and leaves the mat

and will amount to a final rejection of
the American proposition if persisted

some further information bearing on
the question of responsibility
For Picking Conditions
in the statement that the commander
of the Chinese troops, by inference an
swerable to the Chinese government,
ordered the Paoting massacre. 1t is
learned here that Ii Ping Hong, the
commander referred to is civil officer
and we'll known to the Chinese officials
| abroad as one of the most rabid anti
foreign leaders in China. He is a close
friend of Prince Tuan, and the asso-
citation Of these two in Peking affairs
| with power enough behind them to
cause the ignominious death of two
high officials is regarded here as a bad
sign. simultaneously with Mr.. Good
now's dispatch came a characteristical-
ly diplomatic message from Yuan
Shih Kai, governor Of Shangtung,
Repeating the Story
of two days ago that the Chinese gov
eminent was arranging to deliver the
ministers in safety at Tien-tsin. No
effort is made to reconcile that state
ment with Earl LIS refusal to allow a
communication with the ministers.
Gen. Chaffee's message as to the un-
expected resistance offered to the Jap
anese reconnaissance is regarded by
military men here as forecasting a
greater degree of opposition to the in
ternational advance than had been an
ticipated, and they are now satisfied
that the Chinese troops will furnish
material for at least one severe battle
before the way is clear to Peking. The
navy department issued an order for
the cooperation of it's officers abroad
with the officers Of the army in land
ing and transporting troops destined
for Chinese service.

the Chinese came no closer, and added:
