Washington. Aug. 2.-The special
Cabinet meeting to-day lasted about
two and a half hours. There were
present. besides the President, Secre-
tary Hay. Secretary Root, Secretary
Gage and Postmaster General Smith.
The discussion was confined almost
exclusively to the Chinese question.
No change in the present policy of
the government resulted from the
meeting to-day. The action of Score,
tary Hay In notifying the Powers that
we had informed Lii Hung Chang that
we insisted upon being placed in COM
munication with our minister was
unanimously endorsed. The covert
threats thrown out by Ii and the
other viceroys as to the disaster that
might overtake the legationers IL the
advance OF the allies was insisted upon
was characterized by one of the mem
bers of tho Cabinet as a bluff" AS
solute knowledge that the Chinese
government has been implicated in the
attacks on the legation it will be as
sumed that its attitude is correct. and
the Administration, therefore, Is not
prepared to accept at this time the
statement of DR.. Morrison, the London
Times correspondent in Pekin, that
imperial edicts encouraged the Boxer
movement In the earlier stages OF the
trouble. TO do so would be almost
tantamount to admitting that the Chi
nese government had made war upon
the Powers.
