Important Work to BE Done.
With the allied armies at Peking,
and the legationers rescued, it can be
stated that the American administra-
ton considers one Of its most essen
tial purposes has been achieved, and.
that it now remains only TO carry
out, with answering fidelity, the
purposes already clearly. defined by
this government AL though these
purposes were made known some
weeks ago in Secretary Hays NOTE Of
July: 8. they now assume special inn
portance in the hight of the work to
be taken up. Four Instinct purposes
were. laid down in this declaration
viz: 3:Si e
''The purpose Of the president is. as 1t has
been heretofore. to act concurrently with

First, in opening up communication with
Picking, and reScuing the American Mcials,
missionaries and other Americans, who are
in danger. WI n " a5as s5y4S
Secondly, In affording all possible pro-
lection everywhere in China, to American
life and property
Thirdly, In guarding and protecting all
legitimate American interests, and, II 81
"Fourthly, IN aiding to prevent aspreads OF
the disorders to the other provinces Of the
empire and a recurrence Ofsuch disasters =
Our Position Unchanged. :
It can be. stated auxhorit atively
that the foregoing declaration stand
to-day as they did on the day they
were enunciated-a The government
considers that the first purpose emu
merated, namely, opening up com
munication with Picking, and rescu-
ing the American officials, mission
aries and other Americans who are
in danger" is now achieved. There
be carried out, but no doubt is enter
tanned that the rescue will be a-
complished. That leaves the three
remaining purposes set forth still to
be carried out, and these are chiefly
in the line Of restoring order, quiet
and security to the disturbed coun-
try. 4 81 III. a.
The Withdrawal OF Troops.
The intention Of this government
as to the withdrawal Of troops from
| China cannot be stated at: this time,
and any statement bearing on this
point is conjectural. The fact is that
the military situation at Peing& is yet
to be clearly developed by the adj
vices from those on the ground
What course is to be adopted concern
ing. the troops will depend largely
upon these adyices: and upon the ext
gencies Of the Situate n. 81 III
It is stated that there can be mo
immediate withdrawal of the troops,
and those now on the way will prob
ably relieve the troops that 4 have
been operating in China, al. least to
the extent Of giving them opportun-
| ity to rest and recuperate.5 The fresh
forces will guard the line. Of comm TN
ication between Peking and the sea-
coast is5
Until information is received from
Minister Conger and Gen. Chaffee, no
definite steps can be taken III the
Inegotiat ions FOL. carrying out the pur-
poses Of this government in China.
1T will depend upon advices from
these officials as to where and when
such negotiat ions will take place.
