it was soon after Minister WI presented

Imperial Government that Mr.. Hay re

Minister Ccnger. Since the Chinese Gov

Mr.. WI readily asseuted ~ this PROPOSE
ton and evinced an earnest desire :" use
all his personal ard official influence in get
ting through the messages. He suggested.
however that Mr.. Hay himself should write
the message in cipher, this would be
proof positive TO Mr.. Cunger OF its genuine
ness. whereas any open message To the
Minister might ~ under the suspicion Of
having cmanatsd from the Boxers.
Mr.. Hay theTcupon wrote the message,
and had il Translates: INFO the official cipher
