Officials Doubt Yuan's Word and I'm
perial Edicts.

London, July 23.-In the house of
commons today the parliamentary sec
rotary of the foreign office, Mr.. William
St. John Broderick, said the Chinese
minister declared the legations at
Pekin to be unframed. Mr.. Broderick
read the text of the several edicts of
July IS.
Commenting on Minister COnger's
dispatch to the department of state of
the United States he said that al
though the dispatch was Of the same
date as the edict of assurance OF safety,
the latter was not borne out by Mr..
COnger. Consul Warren had tele-
graphed to the governor of Shan Tung
TO know how a message from Pekin
reached him in two days, and why
there was no message from their for
eign minister, Sir Claude Macdonald.
The governor had replied that the
United States minister's message was
sent by the Tsung Ii Yamen by a mes
senger travelling 600 lis (roughly 200
miles) a day.
4 assure you the governor of Shan
Tung had added. there is no tele-
graphic communication. 1 cannot ex-
plain why Macdonald has not tele-
graphed, but 1 beg you not to be anx-
iOus about the ministers, for they and
the OlIleIS uiE oil liNAAe anu AAANNAs
Of this l have already had several re-
liable messages
MIR. Broderick continued: Seeing
that over a month has elapsed since
any communication has reached the
government from the British legation
and the Tsung Ii Xamen is in COM
munication by messenger with various
Chinese authorities, her majesty's- gov
eminent feel they cannot give Credence
to any statement or 90 any DEGREES at
tributed to the emperor or to Fhe Chi
nese government until they are forth
fed by letters signed and dated by Sir
Claude Macdonald or other British Of
ficials, or by some cablegram in our
cipher"
According to the translation read by
Mr.. Brcderick, the imperial edict is as
follows:
In the Confucian philosophy, spring
and autumn. it is written ENJOYS should
not be killed. How. then, can it be
supposed the thrones policy is to con-
nive at allowing troops and people to
vent their wrath on foreign ministers ?"
The edict then gives the assurance
already made unto the public.

TEXT OF BOXERS EDIcT.
Formula Given to Undo Work of For
eign Poison


New York, July 23.-Rev. DR.. John
Fox of the American Bible society to-
day received a translation of one of the
infiammatory posters used by the Box
ers. This was forwarded by the Rev.
DIR. John H. Sykes of Shanghai. who
received it from Rev. Charles Cannon
at Tien Tsin 1t is a sample of many
varieties, of which 100000 copies were
distributed in Tien Tsin City on June

troops prevented a second Tien Tsin

1t is as follows:
Sacred edict. issued by the lord OF
wealth and happiness:
The Catholic and Protestant relig-
ions, being insolent to the gods and ex-
tinguishing SaEctity, rendering no ODE
dience to Buddhism and enraging both
heaven and earth. the rain clouds now
no longer visit us: but 5000 spirit SOL
diers will descend from heaven and
sweep the empire clean OF all foreign
ers. Then will the gentle showers once
more water our lands, and when the
tread of soldiers and the clash of
steel are heard heralding woes TO our
people, then the BuddhiSts' patriotic
league of Boxers will be able to pro-
tect the empire and bring peace to all
ltS people.
Hasten, then, to spread this doc
trine far and wide; for if you gain one
adherent to the faith your own person
will be absOlved from future misfor-
tunes. If you gain five adherents TO
the faith your whole family will be alb
solved from all evils; and if you gain
ten adherents to the faith your whole
village will be safe from all calamity.
If you gain no adherents you shall be
decapitated, for until all foreigners are
eXterminated the rain will never visit
lis
Those who have drunk water from

CRITIcIsE AMERICA.
Germans Say Washington Govern
ment Is Hoodwinked.

Berlin. July 23.-Considerable disap-
pointment is experienced in official cir
cles at the tenor of the reports from
Washington regarding American poll
cy. On this point the Berliner Tage-
blatt, with evident inspiration, says:
1.-THE Chinese have nearly succeeded
in creating differences of opinion among
the powers. The government of the
United States seems determined thus
early to occupy a separate standpoint
with the concert Of powers. AS at Ia
ku. where the American admiral would
not join, so now President Mckinley
apparently means TO oppose the joint
action of the powers, aimed at the re-
establishment of order in China, all of
which proves that the Chinese are in
deed the most cunning diplomats in
the world"
A dispatch from Taku. dated Friday.
July 20, says the German force AT Tien
Tsin has been reduced to 300 <len.

HOW CAPTAIN
M'CALLA TOOK LEAD

Boston, July 23-The American
board has received letter from Rev.
George D. Wilder. dated Tien Tsin,
July II. which gives details concerning
the outbreak of the Boxer movement
and makes known the readiness and
determination with which Captain Nc
Gala of the United States navy re-
sponded t he call for aid. Rev. Mr..
Wilder say
1.-The Boxer. went on looting station

I'VE reported to the consul and he
sent for troops. The Japanese landed
a few on Tuesday afternoon and the
Newark sent us 1f5 marines and blue
Jackets and two machine guns and
three-inch cannon under the energetic
lead OF grand old Captain McCalla. The
railway refusing to bring them, they
came on tug and lighter. reaching us
Tuesday night.
"All nationalities gave them a rous-
ing reception. Their prompt arrival
doubtless prevented an attack on the
settlement by thousands of Boxers.
'The French and Russian representa-
tives bitterly opposed sending troops to
relieve Pekin. They withdrew for con-
sultation several times. Consul Carts
British held steadily for that action,
backed by the American and Japanese
consuls.
Finally CAPTAIN McCalla said:
we have talked a good deal. Now,
/ will tell YOU what 1 will do. Our min
lister telegraphs that he is in danger.
It matters not what others do or do
not do My entire force Of blue Jackets
will take train and start for Pekin
tomorrow morning.
1.-The British, Japanese and Germans
followed this lead, the French and Rus
slams refusing. But the next morning
when the train was made up they sent

Moreover, local outlaws and rebel
Iious subjects have of late given them

loyal subjects This is an utter de-
fiance of law We hereby command the
said governors general, governors and

A significant statement in the above
edict is noted in that passage which
directs an investigation OF all claims,
except those arising directly from the
said attack" (attack on Tien Tsin),
with a view to their ultimate settle
ment. This appears to make plain not
only that the Chinese government Will
settle claims for actual losses. but that
it has now formally decreed an inves-
tigatiOn of the claims arising directly
from the attack on Tien Tsin- 1t seems
to indicate that the Chinese govern
ment holds that the attack on Tien
Tsin was unwaNIanted.

DEWEY CALLS IT A LIE
Denies AlejandrinO's Account of
Alleged Interview.
SAYS IT is ALL FALSE

TROOPS FROM CUBA.

Washington, July 23.-The letter re-
ceived by Senator Pettigrew from one
of Aguinaldos generals. ]. Alejan-
drino, containing an alleged account Of
an interview between himself and Ad-
miral Dewey on board the Olympia,
April, 1898, in which it is stated Ad-
miral Dewey promised independence to
the Filipinos, was shown TO the admiral
today by an Associated Press reporter.
The admiral characterized it as It's
sue of falsehOOds." He declared II alb
surd on its face.
Il not only had no power to promise
independence to the Filipinos," said ne,
but the whole tenor of the words put
in my mouth stamps them as false. L
am made to say Thugs which l never
thought of, and which / could never
have uttered. You will notice that /
am addressed in the alleged interview
as admiral when at the time L was
a commodore
The admiral said he had never heard
of Alejandrino. Several Filipinos, after
much importuning. came aboard the
Olympia at Hongkong. They were
anxious to be taken to Manila.

land did not take them to Manila.
Later 1 gave permission to Aguinaldo
and about a dozen others to come to
Manila. All that they were anxious
about at that time was an end of the
tyranny of Spain, against which they
had been fighting. After the destruc-
ton of Montejo's fleet the city virtually
surrendered, and l am satisfied that if
we had had 5000 troops there at that
time we could have gone ashore and
would have been received by the Fill
pinos as deliverers. They had absO-
lutely no thought then of independence.
That was an afterthOught of their
leaders during the interim between the
smashing of the Spanish fleet and the
arrival of the United States troops"
Position As to Cuba.
Speaking of the report that Cuba was
to be evacuated by the American troops
after the holding of the constitutional
convention, Admiral Dewey said he did
not see how the United States could
turn over the islands to the Cubans I'M
til a stable government had been es-
tablished.
I'VE are responsible to the world for
the orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba, u
said he. and until such a government
is established / cannot see now we car
withdraw. We are confronted with a
similar situation in the Philippines. The
world looks to us, and no matter what
political party wins in November the
United States cannot relinquish the
islands until a responsible and stable
government is set up there
