matically remains unchanged. This Gov
ernment will not consent to the removal
of the Ministers and foreigners from
Pekin until there is free communication
by the powers with their Ministers. Nor
win this Government consent to COM
munication in plain language alone, but
insists that cipher messages must pass
freely between Minister Conger and our
Department of State. 1t is emphatically
stated that unless such message are eX-
changed the United States cannot know
beyond question that the messages were
not garbled and both the United States
Government and Ministers misled.
There seems to be no doubt about the
safety Of the Ministers at Pekin for the
present. AMI that they will remain where
they will be able to protect themselves
and will not be induced to accept any
offers Of the Chinese Government to es-
cort them to Tien Tsin until they have
had communication with their Govern
ments. Confidence Is expressed how
ever that the Chinese Government will
soon see the necessity OF accepting the
terms laid down in Secretary Hays note
to Consul General Goodnow.
The War Department is In receipt of
a dispatch from General Macarthur
announcing that he has shipped addi-
tional artillery supplies to TalSu for use
in the Chinese campaign. These sup
plies include several Gatling guns and
the remainder OF the rifle ,and howitzer
siege train now in Manila, which up to
date has remained useless in that coun-
try on account of the bad roads. How
much better General Chaffee may be able
to handle these monster guns through
the almost impossible rice swamps of
China. no one with the War Department
was willing to guess. But his recent dis
patch contained an urgent appeal for more
artillery and he is getting it, The ord
nance experts az the War Department
say that If 1t comes to a bombardmcnt
Of Pekin these fve-inch rifles and seven
inch howtzers with their enormous
bursting charges of high explosive will
be the most effective battering weapon
in the international column.
Minister WI left Washington on Sat
urday for Cape May and remained away
from Washington today, although he had
been expected to return on Sunday night.
The Chinese Legation wore an air Of
desolation and deserton throughout the
day. and all interrogatons of the Chi
nese charge were met with the response
that there was no news, nor expectation
of any.

received no fresh China news and that
it doubted whether the advance of the
allied forces from Tien Tsin had begun.
The Lokal Anzeiger publishes an inter-
view which Or. Zaker. its special China
correspondent, had with LII Hung Chang
at Canton, July 5th Earl LII told the
correspondent that the Boxers were not
rebels. but were true to the royal house.
Their movement, he explained, was di-
rected chiefly against native Christians,
who had been using international pro-
tectien to oppress Boxers.
With reference to the missionaries, he
said
ut Is my firm conviction that the mis-
sionaries are always in danger, for the
relations between the Chinese popula-
ton and foreigners have been the cause
Of nearly all the troubles and will al
ways continue so to be-"
Earl III went on to say that Chinese
hatred OF foreigners had been increased
Of late through the action of the powers,
particularly in the seizure Of Kao Chou,
which he described as IAN exorbitant
penalty for a couple Of missionaries"
Referring TO the murder Of Baron Won
Ketteler, German Minister at Pekin, he
gave a positive assurance that neither
Prince Tuan nor any other member OF
the Government knew of the intended
killing, and he also declared that Baron
Won ketteler was not killed because he
was German, but simply because he was
a foreigner. In a word he was a victim
of the Chinese hatred of foreigners.
"The Chinese Government is not strong
enough to put down the Boxers said
Earl Ii, "but the thought Of accepting
assistance frcm the powers to put them
down is extremely repugnant to the
Government"
In reply to a question as to who was
the head Of the Central Government. he
said it was administered by Prince Tuan
in the name OF the Emperor
