CHINESE PUZZLE.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Although no
less than four accounts have come to
the state and navy departments respect
ing the condition of the foreign ministers
at Picking, not one of the messages gives
the slightest intimatiOn of the reason why
the ministers failed to leave the Chinese
capital when given a days time in which
to do so. One assumption is that the
ministers declined because they would
have gone out of Picking to certain mas
sacre by the hOIdes of Boxers outside.
Another is that they declined to leave
until the other foreigners were safely re-
moved, something beyond the capacity or
inclination of the Tsung-Li-Y amen to ac-
complish. But in the absence of the
facts the government today determined
to proceed upon the line already laid
down, namely, that all ministers are in
Picking in need of help. The navy and
the war departments will continue the
plans set afOOt for the dispatch to Picking
Of an expedition to bring away the min
listers. A cabinet council today decided
this point and did so with all of the
official dispatches before them, as well
as with a knowledge Of the contents of
the Associated Press cablegrams from
China in their possession. The decision
amounts to a practical declaration that
as yet there is nothing official that will
warrant the assumption that the Chinese
government itself directed the uprising
and attack.
