official vote is that Russia must play the
leading role in the suppression of the re-
volt, that her interests are supreme in

CHINESE PUZZLE.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Although no
less than four accounts have come to
the state and navy departments respect
ing the condition of the foreign ministers
at Peiing, not one of the messages gives
the slightest intimation of the reason why
the ministers failed to leave the Chinese
capital when given days time in which
to do so. One assumption is that the
ministers declined because they would
have gone out of Peling to certain mas
sacre by the hordes of Boxers outside
Another is that they declined to leave
until the other foreigners were safely re-
moved, something beyond the capacity or
inclination of the Tsung- -Li-Yamen to ac-
complish But in the absence of the
facts the government today determined
to proceed upon the line already laid
down, namely. that all ministers are in
PeAing in need of help. The. navy and
the war departments will continue the
plans set afoot for the dispatch to Peking
of an expedition to bring away the min
isters. A cabinet council today decided
this point, and did so with all of the
official dispatches before them, as well
as with knowledge Of the contents of
the Associated Press Cablegrams from
China in their possession. The decision
amounts to a practical declaration that
yet there is nothing official that will
warrant the assumption that the Chinese
government itself directed the uprising
and attack.
