NO WORD FROM REMEY.
WASHINGTON, July 13-secretary
Long stated at a late hour today that
he had not received a word during the
day or evening from Admiral Remey, in

in Chinese waters. The fact that the
admiral has not made any report of the
conditions said to exist in Peling, and
the reported murder Of the ministers, the
secretary regards as a hopeful sign, as he
inclines to the opinion that had any
finality occurred in the capital some word
or rumor of 1t might have found its way
to Tien Tsin or Taku.
