OF SUPREME IMPORTANCE.
Diplomatic End of the Chinese Situation
to the Front.

Diplomatic End of the Chinese Situation
to the Front.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The calling
of special cabinet meeting to consider
the latest developments in the Chinese
situation, following a midnight confer
ence and several similar conferences
with Secretary Root and Mr. Adee
within the last two days, emphasized
the amount Of attention the president
is devoting to this troublesome topic.
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the Ger
man charge, saw Acting Secretary Adee
during the morning and it is under
stood his purpose was to talk over the
question of Ii Hung Chang's creden-
tials. One effect Of Germany's refusal
to accept Ii as plenipotentiary will be
to delay peace negotiations at least un-
til Field Marshal Waldersee's arrival in
China, several weeks hence This fact
is not contemplated with equanimity
by our government, the president being
desirous Of terminating the present un-
satisfactory state Of affairs in China as
soon as it can be done with honor anG
security. Therefore if our government
can
Find Some Responsible Person
with whom to conclude an agreement
and such an agreement can be ar
ranged on basis that will fully con-
serve the rights of the United States
without infringing upon those of the
other powers, speedy withdrawal of
the United States troops from China
may be expected and it is largely posi-
BILE that Field Marshal Count Walder-
see will not, after all, exercise com.
mand over any American troops in
China.
Beyond short message relative to
the situation at Annoy, which is still
regarded as threatening. the state de-
partnent had nothing to make public.
The diplomatic, rather than the mill
tary situation, is still regarded as of
supreme Importance.
1t is stated at the war department
that preparations are being made for
wintering 5000 United States troops in
China. The report that General Chat.
fee was arranging to winter $1,000
troops probably originated before the
general was informed that the rroops
Oh the way to China had been diverted
at Nagasaki to Manila. These arrange.
ments are made in order to guard
against failure Of peace negotiations.

public The hearing began at o'clock.
Bresci sat in the dock, calm and almost
Indifferent His counsel, Signor Mer-
telli, head Of the Milan bar, and the an.
archist writer, Signor Mornilo, made
requests Oh various grounds which were
refused.
After the reading OF the Indictment
the witnesses were introduced. There
were eleven for the prosecution and five
for the defense. The examination of
Bresci followed. He declared he de-
cided to kill King Humbert after the
events in Milan and Sicily, to 'tavenge
the memory of the people and my own"

accomplices.
