pressed great dissatisfaction at the way
in which the sick and wounded were treat

Treatment Ministers Received.


Treatment Ministers Received.
Washington, June 27.-The develop
ments of the day respecting China were
important and interesting. The Chinese
ministers report of the departure of the
foreign ministers and their guards from
Pekin greatly relieved the officials here
who took 1t as the first tangible evidence
that the imperial Chinese government had
full realization of the enormity of per-
Smitting the ministers 10 come to per-
sonal harm, and were thus undertaking
as far as lay In their power to observe
the amenities OF International exchange.
The keenest interest is shown by the
officials to learn the conditions under
which the ministers left Pekin. The Chi
nese minister's dispatch was ominously
silent on thatNpont, and though the min
lister himself maintains almost obstinate
ly his confidence in the non-exist-
ence Of stare of war, II is
generally admitted that II will be difficult
to accept his conclusion If It shall trans
pire that the Pekin government has itself
sent the ministers away with their pass
ports, or what may come to the same
thing. with O guard as safe conduct. At
the state department 1t is said that. If it
shall be explained that the imperial gov
ernment did this. not with a purpose of
rupturing diplomatic relations. but simply
10 insure the safety of the ministers,
which they were unable TO guarantee as
long as they remained in Pekin, then there
is still ground for an understanding. 1t
is, pointed out, however. that in such case
the self-confessed inability of the imper-
ial government TO maintain peace and or
der at the capital would amount TO an
admission of its utter failure as a govern
ment and would leave China in a worse
state than that OF actual war In either
event. It now appears to the satisfaction
of the officials that there was absolute
justification for such intervention as we
have offered In China.

BOXERS WERE DANGEROUS
An Authority Says Germany and
England Should Have Known Ii.


England Should Have known Ii.
Berlin. June z7.-Herr Eugene Wolff,
in the Berlner Tagebatt, publishes a
powerful article regarding China, drawn
from intimate and very recent acouaint-
ance with the land and it's people. He
gives a history of the Boxer movement
and blames Germany and England for not
recognizing its dangerous character dur
ing the last two years. He says that the
French minister in Pekin M. Pinchon,
alone energetically forced the Empress
Dowager to remove Que Shen from the
governorship of Shan Tung, Que Shen
having been appointed. although the EN-
press knew that he was the founder of
the Boxers.
Herr Wolff declares that either the ru-
mors are true that the Empress has be-
come a drunkard and is often in state
of responsibility, or that she has been
hoodwinked into believing that the Box
ers only mean TO oust the foreigners and
have no designs upon the Manchu dy-
nasty.
He contends that the Powers must force
the imperial court TO remain in Pekin
and compel the Empress to stay there
under the control of the Powers. At the
same time he regards it as of the highest
importance that the Tsung Ii Yamen be
thoroughly reformed and be developed
into an actual foreign Office, clothed with
authority enabling it to enforce its man.

tween the provincial governors and the
representatives of the Powers.
