president does not fully comprehend
the situation because of lack OF infor-
nation, that the messages so far re-
.ceived are very Indefinite and before
final policy can be determined upon
fuller advices are necessary. There is
no doubt that during the cabinet ses-
sion there was talk of using troops, but
the same official declared that the pres
,ident does not care to dispatch soldiers
into China, preferrlng so long as the
other powers make no such move to
leave the operations to detachments
from the navy squadrons at Taku.
But the murder of the japanese Dip
lomat and the dangerous situation of
foreign residents OF Pekin, added to the
conceded probability that japan will
now send troops to China. may cause
rapid change Of view with respect to
the use of American soldiers. Japan is
in no mood to permit her official repre-
sentatives in Pekin, TO be murdered. and
especially by her sons engaged in a
movement encouraged by the ruler OF
the Chinese empire, the empress dow
ager. jealous OF Japan, Russia will
probably either object to the dispatch
of japanese troops into China, or else
send herself a large force into the terri
tory included in her sphere OF influence
and perhaps to Pekin itself The result

agreement OF some kind should be

diplomat and of the imminent danger in
which the foreigners in Pekin seem to
be. Mr.. Nabeshima, the secretary of

he was without advices, but he ex-
pressed confidence that upon the con-
firmation of the report his government
would take prompt measures for the
protection OF its subjects and their in
terests in the celestial kingdom. The
murder of the japanese secretary of

officials. increases the danger OF the
murder OF American missionaries.

some means to furnish them efficient
