In Washington at the Reply of China
to the Note.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 90
1t is recognized by the officials here as
a perfectly natural course on the part
of the Chinese government to ask for
explanations of the important points
in the agreement reached by the min
listers at Pekin. So they are not sur
prised to hear now that before blindly
accepting the agreement as binding up
on it, the Chinese court wishes for
some definite statement as to what
Chinese cities are to be occupied how
long the occupation is to continue.
whether it is an absolute condition
that the princes are to be beheaded
and whether the Taku forts are to be
RACED or whether dismantlement will
not suffice. 1t is a fact that our gov
eminent has from the beginning of the
negotiations taken an attitude On'these
five points of inquiry closely CORES
ponding to that which il is supposed
the Chinese government has assumed
as a basis of putting them. Our gov
eminent does not desire the absolute
demolition of the Taku forts; it will
suffice for our purposes, having in
mind temporary stay in China, that
they should be rendered harmless by
dismantlement to prevent the ready &C
cess to the Chinese capital of any force
which it might be necessary to send
from Europe and America in the i'm
probable event that the Chinese gov
eminent fails to live up to the obli-
cations it will assume under the agree
ment Feeling that the Chinese gov
eminent should be given a suitable OPP
portunity to demonstrate it's good faith,
our government has seen no necessity
for continued occupation of so-called
strategic points along the line of COM
munication between Pekin and the sea.
There is no question in the mind of our
government as to the extreme unWis-
dom of continuing the sending out
from Pekin of punitive expeditions
which the Chinese government desires
discontinued. So decided has been the
objection of our government to the
continuance of these military move
ments, which in its opinion have done
nNlch to prevent the Chinese authori-
ties from carrying out their engage
nents to maintain order and insure
safety for foreigners, that the United
States has been nearly at the point of
