ADMIRAL KEMPFF CABLES.
The navy department has had further
| communication with Admiral Kempff ia
! the shape OF two messag IS, one touching
the strength Of the foreign forces ashore
| in China. and another, VIII ch the officials
stated had no bearing upon the military
situation. but i'm neither was there any
mention Of the ministers. One considera-
ton which initiates aga nst the unre-
served acceptance by the officials Of the
/ assurance Of minor Chinese officials i'm
Guiding Ii Hung Chang and Minister Wu,
that state OF war does not exist is the
fact that Mr.. Conger is not permitted
| to communicate vi tn his own government
by the same means employed by the
Tsung Ii Yamen in getting news to the
outside world leading to a suspicion THAI
he is not at that perfect liberty which
marks the existence of a state of peace.
IL is possible that the Chinese govern
ment may be able to offer a satisfactory
explanation on this po mt, but at present
the ofhcials say our future relations with
emma depend upon what Minister Com
ger mas to say when he is finally brught
In touch with the state department.
