ing to throw the responsibility for the
outrages in Pekin and elsewhere on the

to foment international jealousies to pre-
vent the advance of troops upon Pekin;

up peace. The foreigners here feel that
the Chinese government is responsible
for the chaos, and they are indignant at

uincness of Conger Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4-The depart
ment of state authorizes the following
statement in regard to the probable date
Of the first telegram from Minister Con-
ger, TO which in transmitting it through
Sheng at Shanghai and Minister W.
the tsung Ii yamen assigned the date of
July Is:
The departn ent Of state is in possess
sion of the original cipher text Of the
entire message as received by Minister
Wa on July 70 and communicated by him
to Secretary Hay on the morning OF that
day. 1t is partly in the Chinese cipher
code and partly in that of the United
States. The two texts were separated
by. several groups not Ineligible In either
cipher. As deciphered on July 20 the
Conger message appeared to begin with
the words IN British legation under con-
tinued shot and she'll" etc
With the aid Of the full text as tele-
graphed from Chez Foo by Consul Fow-
Ter and already given to the press, the
doubtful groups, which were distorted in
geographic transmission, have now been
corrected ana found to read: For one
month we have been besieged'' which
ipteiligentIy completed the sentence, MAX
ing the telegram reads:
For one month we have been bes.eged
IN British legation under continued shot
and shell from Chinese troops Relief can
only prevent general massacre.
-''Conger."
AS 1t Is known that the various lega-
lions and foreigners took shelter in the
British legation about June II, the date
OF Mr. Congers telegram is fixed with
approximate certainty at July II. This
agrees with Consul Fowler's cabled state
ment that the original message as writ
ten on a regular telegraph form and
signed "Conger," is supplemented by the
words: ''E. H. Conger, July II, address
United States legation, written on the
same form, but evidently not transmit
ted.
The fact that the authentic text of the
3 original message, as received in Wash
ington on July 20. agrees literally with
, Consul Fowler's report of the wording Of
, the original form written by Minister
Conger and bearing the file date of July
Il, appears to establish the genuineness
OF the message and its date beyond
doubt.
