Washington, Nov. 7.-Minister Wu
called at the state department to-day
and talked with Secretary Hay for half
an oh
foreign ministers at Pekin. The depart
ment takes the ground that while the
ministers themselves are trying to get
together on common ground to present
a united front to the Chinese in the ne
gotiations, it would be highly impolitic
to make public any dissentions or little
differences. So all that can be gather
ed officially is that fair progress is MAX
ing.
Minister Wu was concerned at the
situation at Pao Ting Flu, where the
Germans seem to have condemned to
death certain high Chinese functiona-
ries. This subject promises to lead to
energetic remonstrance from the Chi
nese government. Mr.. WI handed to
Secretary Hay the following
"Cablegram, dated November 6, 1900
from Viceroy Chang Chih Tung, re-
ceived by Minister Wu on the morning

ceived confirmation of Yu's death and |

If suppressing all rioters. Please con-
