gaining its rights and the legation
grounds being evacuated? IF the nego-

troops, which is our only salvation, we
risk falling into Chinese hands. The
section wherein lies the French legation
is occupied by imperial troops. who
have not entirely ceased to fire, We are
reduced to siege ratiCns. We have pro-
visions-horses, rice and bread-for fif-

by officials that the crisis has reached

of momentous import determining eth

events 1t has been a day of extreme
anxiety of watching and waiting, with
only meagre and fragnlentary informa-

phases. One of the new developments
today was the statement that messages
are being received from Minister Conger,
which are not transmitted through any
of the officials in China, or through the
Chinese minister here, but directly at
the state department.
These dispatches come by the way of
Ts Nan. Some Of them cannot be fully
deciphered and for this reason the state
ment cannot be definitely made that
the dispatches sent by the government
to Minister Conger are received by him.
So Gar as the message has been de-
ciphered there is no indication that
Minister Conger received any informa-
tion or DISPATCHES from our state de-
partment Nothing could be learned of
the contents of the dispatches received.
