PEKIN, April l5.-Prince Ching says
all his reports 90 to show that the mis-
sionary statements regarding rebellion

facts Neither does he believe that tha

good faith
The conduct of the ministers OF the
powers over the negotiations with thr
Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much
adverse comment among the military
authorities. Their dlatory tactics have
prevented what might have been accom-
plishcd two months ago. Even now the
meetings Of the ministers are postponed
for the most trivial causes For instance

n number of days Then NJ. De Giers
and other ministers insisted upon cela-
brating Easter, and thus n week wai
consumed. In third case an unneces
sary visit by one minister to Tien
Tsin held up the negotiations for four
days. These are fair illustrations of
what has been almost continuous from
the beginning.
