the diplomatic corps and their respec
tive governments.
SecOnd-When Prince Tuan and tn,

the government to await inevitable
punishment.
ThIrd-When the authorities and bod
les Of troops throughout the entire EN-
pire shall have received an order Il
cease hostilities against foreigners.
Fourth-When measures have beer,
taken for the rigorous repression Of the
Boxers.
So long as these necessary guarantees
are not furnished, there il room only
for military action.

dated Pekin, July IS, was transmitted
by the viceroy at Nankin under date of
to-day, and Is as follows:
"For month past. with the excep-
tion of the German minister, who was
