Chronicle, the Japanese Prince Ii Chun
Yo We're implicated by the confessions
of Hi Wong and An, who We're tortured

Emperor of Korea demanded of the

his father be delivered up for VEN
geance but the Japanese minister de-
clined to accede to this request. Then,
according to the Chronicle, Kim Young
Ching. described as the official assassin

father. The plot was frustrated, how
ever. and the assassin was arrested, but
escaped back to Korea. The Japan
ese princes are under special guards.

Rome, July 19.-The government has
received a circular from NJ Del Casse,
the French minister of foreign affairs
which it is understood has been dis
patched to all the powers, proposing
an international agreement for joint
action in China and the future attitude
of the powers. The matter is still un-
der consideration here. Lord Salisbury,
the British premier and minister of
foreign affairs, it is understood, has al
ready replied in a friendly spirit. The
replies of the United States and Rus
STA have not yet reached NJ. Del Case,
nor has the reply of Germany. The lat
ter government, it appears. had pre-
viously made somewhat similar pro-
posal to the United States alone. 1t is
reported that President Mckinley hest
tates to join with the other nations. but
it is regarded as practically assured
that all the powers. in view of the dan
ger of the situation, will negotiate re-
garding NJ. Del Cases proposal and
finally sign an agreement on the China
question.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1900-07-20

Washington July 19.-Inquiry at the
state department developed the fact
that no such circular as that described
in the Rome dispatch as having been
received from Nj. Delcasse had reached
here. While our government and that
at Paris appear to be pursuing exactly
the same line of policy as to China. it
has not deemed it necessary to attempt
to reduce to form and substance any
agreement upon which common action
should be had. The same statement is
equally true as to Germany and other
powers. Our government has not
found it polite to embark upon any
joint formal program beyond the mat
ters touched upon in the identical note
of July 3, defining the object of the
United States in China. In French Of
fetal quarters here, the Rome report
is denied with equal positiveness. AT
no time has anything like a circular
from NJ. Delcasse proposing an agree
:nent of the powers as to China been
presented.

make the journey with great difficulty.
The substance of the letter is as fol-
lows:
"The situation at Pekin Is extremely
critical. The foreign legations are sur
rounded on all sides by Chinese sol
diers and bombarded night and day
The members of the legations the
guards and residents are resisting tc

Washington July 19.-The President,
today, appointed Brig. Gen. A. r.
Chaffee, L. S. v, who is to command
the American militia forces in China, a
major general of volunteers, that his
rank should be commensurate with his
command He is considered by his
brother officers as one of the most
thoroughly equipped soldiers in the
service. Gen. Miles recommended
Major General Bates in the Philippines
to be assigned to the command of the
troops in China, but he is well pleased
with the promotion of Gen. Chaffee.
He named Gen Bates for the reason
mainly that Gen. Chaffee held only the
rank Of brigadier general. Adjutant
General Corbin has sent a cable mes
sage to Gen. Chaffee notifying him of
his promotion.

ANDREWS OF HAWAII.

Sheriff Andrews of Hawaii has evil
IDENTIFY lost his head He has published
some amazing BY Authorities on his
own hook, declaring ten-day quaran-
tine against passengers and the officers
and crews of vessels from Oahu and
interfering with the prompt discharge
and delivery of the mails. Mr.. Andrews
takes it upon himself to order back let
ter and paper mail to Oahu, whose
owners or receivers will not "immedi-
ately" remove the wrappers and burn
them in the presence of some duly quail
flied officer. In cases where the ad-
drcssee is not on hand when the mail
comes he will, of course, under such
a rule, be unable to get his mail later
AS the Sheriff of Hawaii even in his
character as special agent of the Board
Of Health, has no right to inaugurate
such a radical policy, the Board can
celled his commission on Saturday and
sent II. L. Cooper to Hawaii on the
Kinau to take control of matters. 1t
is question whether the Attorney
General will be allowed to land, in
which case the big Island will be tech
nically in rebellion against the central
Government.
This situation is most unfortunate
and the only certain and permanent
seems to be the institution of
a Federal quarantine. If we had a ca
BILE with which to explain matters, at
that boon might be got in
a very short time AS it is, We must
wait
