WIRE SERVICE GONE.
Chinese Government Stops the
Last Direct Line.


London, June 1a-It was announced to-
day that the Chinese Government has no.
titled the cable companies that It Is un-
able TO provide any longer the daily boa:
service hitherto run between Taku and Che
Foo. whereby dispatches were filed after
the destruction of the overland route.
1t was further learned that II was quite
likely that even Che Foo. which is over 200
miles from Taku. will not long be available
for sending cables.
The nearest point Of communication with
the outer world will then become Shanghai.
coo miles from the seat Of operations. The
reason for the probable isolation Of Che
Foo consists in the fact that 1t Is only con-
nected with the main line by loops. The
junction is inland at Ginning. and Boxers
are believed to be in that neighborhood. II
they are successful their first step is sure
to be the destruction Of the line
All dispatches now coming from Taku
are taken to Che-Foo in vessels Of the
Powers. which may shortly have to go to
Shanghai. This tedious method Of COM
munication may exist for some time after
the united forces reach Pekin
The first opening OF communication be-
tween Taku and Pekin undoubtedly will be
by means of military wires which will be
taxed TO the utmost by the demands of
the commanders Of the various nations. So
complete Is the destruction of the COM
pany's wires between Tien-Tsin and Pekin
that it is estimated 1t will take many
days to restore them, even after the united
forces control that portion of the country.
Hence. all signs point to long lapses be-
tween direct news and the little that leaks
out. except such of the reports as the
Governments choose to give out.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

mr. blLt SfEIlAIs
Washington. June 1s.-What the status
| OF Cinnamon I'm this country will be once
the act of the Boxers rebels or imperial
troops is construed into an act Of war. is
an interesting question. An official in the
office OF the Secretary of State, who is
acquainted with the usage governing such
circumstances. when asked to-day for an
opinion on the subject. said:
"As soon as this Government decides that
war is on. the Chinese Ambassador will
receive his passports. and his intercourse
with this Government will cease until hos
tilities are over, rs in the case of Spain.
THE Minister will thereupon notify the
Consuls of his Government In every city Of
the United States. telling them that he
has received his passports and ordering
them to collect together the subjects of
his Government. notifying them that within
thirty days they must leave the territory.
In the case of Spain those who had
taken out naturalization papers were al
lowed to remain, but those who still main
tained their allegiance TO the Spanish Gov
ernment had to be deported at their Gov
ernment's expense. The trouble with the
Chinese situation is that citizens of that
Government are not allowed to become cit
izens of the United States, therefore they
cannot be left behind On the plea CT ci.i-
zenship and all must be deported. How
that can be done We have no means Of
knowing.
The Chinese Government would have to
look after Its own people. There are about
10000 Chinamen in the United States, and
1t would require a great many ships to
carry them across the Pacific Ocean. This
would be hercuIean task for the Chinese
Government. as 1, does not own ships. and
would have TO hire them from nations it
would be at war with. They would be pro-
tected on the ocean and allowed to reach
their port within any reasonable time after
thirty days from the time of leaving the
shores OF the United States.
What would be done with those who
could not get back to China? Ah, that Is
a question the Government will have to
wrestle with when the time comes"
