Hay, Root and Long Consider the Chi
nese Situation.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Although i'll,
Secretary Hay came over to his office
before noon, being the senior cabinet
officer in town. In the presidents alb
sence, he sent Immediately for the Sec
rotary of war and the secretary of the
navy. These officials responded at
once cabinet council was held in Sec
rotary Hays Office. Of course the Chi
nese situation was the subject Of dis
cussion. All of the official dispatches
received during the morning were care
fully considered. The conclusion
reached was that nothing had devel.
oped warranting change of policy at
this stage. So it was decided that no
further instructions should be dis
patched to our naval commander in
China, nor have more troops been Or
dered there.

''Che Foo, June 30.-Ministers at
Pekin were given "a hours to leave on

The Chinese minister here, Mr.. WI,
has private advices to the same effect,
which he has brought to the attention
of the state department.
The following cablegram has been re-
ceived from United States Consul Rags

BERLIN, July 4.-The murder of the

News of the Safety OF the Foreign MIN

News of the Safety OF the Foreign MIN
listers at Pekin.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-For the first
time since the break of communication
with Tien Tsin, news came during the
day of the foreign ministers there
which the officials accept as accurate.
Assurances coming from four separate
sources that the ministers were safe,
bodily at least, up to five days ago,
seem to remove all doubt on that point.
None of the recipients Of these dis
patches has any knowledge as to how
the news comes from Pekin, to warrant
the statement that the ministers are
there at present. It is, however, easy
to suppose that accurate news of the
conditions in Pekin of five days ago,
might have been received by some
trusted messenger. -.
