know that your majesty recognizes the
fact that the government and people OF

China was the rescue Of our legation
from grave danger and the protection

The same purposes are publicly declared
by all the powers which have landed
military forces in your majesty en-
pire.

Touching on the causes Of the trouble

"Ihe causes Of the present situation
were a lack Of backbone and wrong

their friendship, which we have always
appreciated, and Admiral Kemptf for

THESITUATION IN CHINA
London Receives a Message From
Sir Claude Mcdonald.
IT is DATED PEKlN JULY 4
Forty Four Deaths Reported and About
Double That Number Wounded.
The Garrison Cannot Hold
Out Very Much Longer

LoNDoN, July 25.--The foreign office
has received dispatch from the Brit
ish consul at Tien Tsin, dated Saturday,
July 2l, stating that he had just re-
ceived letter from Sir Claude Mac
douald, the British minister at Pek1n,
dated July 4, appealing for relief.
There We're enough provisions at the
legation to last fortnight, the letter
said, but the garrison was unequal to
the task of holding out against deter
mined attack for many days. There
had been "A deaths and about double
that number wounded.
The foreign office thinks the dispatch
does not affect the main question OF
the reported massacre of members OF
the legation ct Pel1in.

Mr.. WI Says China Will Meet the Presi-
dents Requirements.

Mr.. Wu Says China VIII Meet the Presi-
dents Requirements.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The presi-
dents reply to the Chinese appeal for
mediation is considered a clever pro-
duction. He has succeeded in asking
for conditions precedent to mediation
quite as valuable as those laid down i'll
Europe, yet he has so tempered his re-
uuirments as to make them uneXcep-
rlonable to the Chinese government.
At the same time there is nothing i'll
the note to which the European chan
celleries can object, openly at least.
The president expressly states that his
mediation is subject to the approval Of
the powers; he will not attempt to
force it upon Europe. And the Chinese
government must produce the ministers
IN safety.
Minister Wu declares that his gov.
ernment will not meet that obligation,
in proof Of which he produced Sheng'
telegram, in which he expressed i'm.
picit confidence. Certainly, if the last
.1romise is baseless, the Chinese govern
ment is party to one OF the most bare
faced deceptions practiced upon an
other nation, i'll the estimation Of the

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. There is
nothing i'll the report of Admiral Sey-

steamer American Maru, to prove the
sensational story that was circulated
the earlier part of this month to the
effect that Admiral Seymour, who COM
manded the Pekin relief expedition,
killed his wounded to save them from
the Chinese.
The admiral's report, which is an
elaboration of the cablegram published
on June 30, makes not the slightest
mention Of the affair, but, on the con-
trary, goes into particulars OF the
bravery of the allies in guarding the
wounded who were placed i'll flatboats
and towed down the river by details Of
soldiers and marines, while the main
