CHINA UNABLE
TO KEEP ORDER
Demonstrations Of the Boxers" Are
No Longer Local.
THE SITUATION CRITICAL
OOeratiOns of the Lawless Society inereas'
ing in Magnitude-United States Min
ister asks Protection.

Washington, May 29.-Such advlces as
have reached here indicate that the sltu'
alton in China has assumed a very crltl'
cal phase, and one calculated to tax the
entire resources of the Chinese govern
ment. The State Department has been
in close communication with Mr.. Conger'
our minister at Pekin, and the Navy De-
partment is doing its share, having placed
the flagship Newark as far up the Pel'Ho
river as the Taku forts, which is the near
est point to Pekin that the ship can
reach.
The operations of the "Boxers" are
increasing in magnitude. Their demon
strations are no longer local, and they ap'
pear 10 govern their movements by some
well settled design. They have murdered
nine Methodist missionaries in one pro-
vince at the town of Pachow, and have
closed in on Pekin. Meanwhile, the Chi
nese army is suspected of disloyalty, this
belief being strengthened by wholesale
desertions of the soldiers to the box
ers."
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-05-31
CoNGER ASKS PROTECTION.

Minister Conger has appealed to the
State Department for the protection OF
marine guard for his legation. The de-
partment has promptly cabled him an
authorization to call upon the nearest
United States naval vessels for assist
ance. 1t is not known yet whether he
has availed himself of the permission.
The embarrassing feature Of the situation
is the cutting of the communication py
rail between Taku and Ten Tsin and the
capital, for the "3oxers have burned the
railroad bridges, and there are probably
only two courses open to the marines who
wish to reach Pekin, long overland
march through a hostile country away
from supports, or tedious voyage up
the swift and shallow Pei-Ho in shore
boats in low Of steam launches.
According to report, the Chinese gov
ernment has done everything in its power
TO meet the demands of the diplomatic
body at Pekin for the disposition OF the
Boxers" but it appears that the uprls-
ing is far more serious than was at first
apprehended, and the resident ministers
at Pekin are inclined to admit that the
task is not an easy one for the Chinese
government.
