Incredible. III true, 1t opens up an inter

fafe Of the italian repr resentative.
The extent Of the edict Of August 2,au-
thorlzing the escort OF the ministers from
Pekin TO Tien Tsin is given out at the
+ Chinese legation and says in part:
I'm view OF the existence Of hostiIities
4 between certain Chinese rebels and for

feeling Of the Chinese people, we have
4 afforded reasonable protection to the for
eign representatives in Pekin; and the
Tsung Ii Yamen has sent to the legations
letters Of inquiry and proposals for their
safe conveyance under escort to Tten Tsin
in order to avoid apprehension of further
attack from the rebels before the com
pIete restoration Of peace and order in the
capital.
1--WE have now, on the advice of Ii
Hung Chang, and Liu Kun VI, to au-
thorize Ynng Lu to escort them to Tien
Tsin. If there be any rebels en- route
trying to endanger the safety of the
party. the officials have to destroy the
rebels at once.

movement against Pekin. 1t is aoknowl-
edged that the relief column is not strong
enough to maintain war against the
Chinese kingdom for any great length of
time, but heavy reinforoements are en-
route to China. Their arrival on the
scene may alter the situation entirely and
bring the obstinate Orientals to their
senses.
1t is the present situation, however,
that worries the administration, and
there IS general chagrin that it is not in
q position to enforce it's demands and
bring the Chinese authorities TO instant

Washington, August 7.-As a result Of
the conference last night between the
President, Acting Secretary of State
Adee, Secretary Root and General Cor
bin, a cablegram was sent early this
morning to Consul General Goodenow
including copy of the despatch from
Minister Conger and advising him Of the
situation as it is understood here He
was directed to communicate this to Earl
LII Hung Chang, to Sheng and to such
viceroys as can transmit it to whatever
government there is in the Chinese en-
pire.
This cablegram contained what is said
to be a very emphatic statement of the
position of this government ANA saying
that action is Immediately necessary.
While it is not strictly speaking an ul-
timatum, 1T is very close to it.
The government officials here regard
the situation as very dangerous to Minis
ter Co niger and other foreigners in Pekin
and grave doubt is expressed whether the
international forces can reach Pekin in
time to rescue the ministers.
A reply has been sent to Minister Conger
to the despatch received from him yester-
day. 1t advises him of the approach OF
the relief columnand exhorts him to be
OF good cheer.
The despatch was sent to Minister Con-
ger at Pezin and duplicate of it to Con-

Washington, August s.-Secretary Root

demands made IN the Presidents reply TO

Hoped That the Chinese
Will Yield.
No Change in the Military Situ-
ti0n.

Washington, August s.-The Chinese
situation is considered grave by the au-
thorities IN Washington. All day ths
cabinet officers have been consulting with
each other and the President has been
communicated with by telegraph and tel
ephone. 1t was announced officially at
the close Of the day that q message to the
imperial government at Pekin had been
delivered 60 Minister Wu for transmits
sion to his government. The text of the
message was prepared by acting Secretary
Of State Adee and Secretary Root, and
in It's final form was made known to
the President by telephone. IT was then
stated definitely that the authorities OF
this government would not make public
the text Of this latest communicable to
China TIL Minister Wu had had opportu-
nifty to forward it to his government. The
chief officials of the government We're
not willing to outline in any definite
manner the contents of the message, al.
though 1t was generally accepted that the
communication was emphatic and to the
point.
The State Department sent a cipher
message to Minister Conger responsive to
his message made public last night and
intended to test the assertion Of the
Chinese edict that free cipher communi-
cation would be allowed.
The message sent to the Chinese gov
ernment through Mr.. Wa according to
the best information obtainable informs
that government that the removal of
the res trictions upon communication
with our ministers evidenced both by the
receipt of Mr.. Conger's message and the
transmission of the ediot Of the fifth is
gratifying, but is not an entire compli-
ance with the original demands of the
President in his reply to the appeal for
mediation.
There is hope that when confronted
with the firm position taken by the
United States, the Chinese government
win be sufficiently impressed to make
complete acquiescence.
Minister Wa early in the day brought
to the state Department. the imperial
edict removing the restrictions from free
communication with the minister's lie
was plainly perturbed over Minister Con-
GER S report that the legationers were un-
der fire, but still contended that his gov
ernment was acting in good faith.
Two dispatches were received today one
from Admiral Remey and the other from
Gen. Chaffee. Both related to the fight
ing at Pei Tsang. Admiral Remey's de-
spatoh stated specifically that the Ameri-
cans were not engaged and Gen. Chatfee' S
despatch explains how it was that they
were practically out Of it. They occupied
the rear of the turning column. Owing
to the limited ground Of operations, the
Americans could not be brought into the
thick of the fighting and escaped without
casualties,
Secretary Root said tonight that the
aTc@ts Of the day had caused no change
in the military situation so far as the
advance on Pekin was concerned and no
additional orders had been sent to Gen.
ChafTee.
