DOUBTED BY GERMANY.
Foreign Office SkepticaI Over the
COnger Despatch

COLOGNE, July 21.-The Cologne Ga
zette's" Berlin correspondent. who may be
regarded as rejecting the views Of the
German Foreign Office, in a despatch to his
paper says:
Very skeptieal views are entertained
here as to the genuineness Of United States
Minister Conger's message which was sent
to the American State Department,
through Minister wu Ting-faug yesterday.
The general belief here is that the Ameri-
can diplomatic cipher was found after the
legation had been assaulted.
1t is pointed out, for instance. that it
is strange that Minister Conger should not
have mentioned one or two points Of the
highest Importance to the whole Of Eu-
rope.
a similar view is held in regard to the
alleged telegram from the Emperor of
China, which the Chinese Minister to
France handed to NJ. DeIcasse, the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs"
The Gazette" in commenting on this
despatch, refers to the most highly de-
veloped popularity OF the Chinese. namely.
their capacity for mendacity. which, it
says, must be taken into consideration.
