says:
Ambassador Choate has received III
structions from Washington to impress
upon the British Government the se-
cessity for immediate action upon the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Mr.. Choate will call upon Lord Lans-
downe and tell him the United States
expects decision on the treaty before
March 1.
Mr.. Choate has been informed un-
officially of the disposition of the Unit
ed States Senate to repeal the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and pass the Nicara-
guam canal bill If the pending treaty.
be not accepted.
He has received no intimation of any
sort from the British Government as 10
what its decision will be but there Ii
good reason for saying that England Ia
inclined to temporize. feeling that by
delay and perhaps by alternative sug-
gestions she may obtain some modifi-
cation Of the terms of the treaty itself
or some set-off against what she con
siders her concessions.
Ambassador Choate's instructions
from Washington are imperative and
he will make Lord Lansdowne realize
that whatever he intends to do must b.
done quickly.

AMENT TELLS Or HIS WORK.
Letter Written Before Charges Were
Made in America.

BOSTON, Feb. 19.-The Rev. Judson
Smith, DID,, foreign secretary of the
American Board. has received a letter
from the Rev. w. S. Ament, DID,, OF
Picking, written December 9th, before
any intimation had reached him of the
criticisms which have arisen in the
United States concerning alleged loot
ing and securing excessive indemnities
for the Chinese Christians. and funds
for himself and for the treasury vf
the American Board. His letter shows
that no funds have been secured ex-
cept for Chinese Christians who have
| been injured in person and property.
DR.. Ament says:
After month of very hard work
in our department l am glad that l
report progress to you. I visited (be-
ginning on the soutn) Wen-Ah, Pao
Ting Hsien. Pao-Chou, Ping-Ting. Cho-
Chou, Liang-Hsiang, and on the east

these places exceedingly friendly and
anxious to settle the affairs of the
converts, recognizing the right and
need of such claims. l have made no

all cases upon the justice of our claim.
Mr.. Conger has supported us in the
measures and methods taken. though
the military people have not failed 20
make their criticisms. The survivors
in all our country stations have been
recouped lor all their losses, again re-
instated in their villages, with some
money in hand and a promise of
houses restored next spring.
Over and above restoration for the
converts, We have gathered in a fund
for the support of widows and orphans
who have no homes and no one to look
after them. While our own church is
thus fairly well provided for, our peo-
pie in Kaigan and Shan-si are suffer

have sent two hundred taels to the
Kalgan people. but have heard moth

winter, supplies have come to the city
in unusual quantities and the city was
never better provided for than at pres
ent. BY means of the army thousands

THAT DEWEY DISPATCH.
Secretary LonE's Statement to Mr.
Grow aiashield's Claim.

Secretary Longs Statement as to Mr..
Grow h shields Claim.
A long statement has been issued by
Admiral Crowninshield in support Of his
claim that he is the author of the famous
dispatch to Admiral Dewey, ordering him
to proceed from Hong Kong to Manila and
there capture or destroy the Spanish fleet
Admiral Crowninshield states that he wrote
the dispatch in the White House and SUBJ
mitted it to both Attorney General Griggs
and the President. and that the only change
made in the dispatch as he wrote 1t was the
addition of either the word capture" or
the word destroy" The dispatch, accord
ing to Admiral Crowninshield, was then
handed to Lieutenant Whittlesley, who took
it to Secretary Long, and after the latter
had signed it sent it to Admiral Dewey.
Secretary Long made the following state
ment in regard to Admiral CrowninShield's
claim:
my recollection is entirely distinct I'm
mediately upon declaration of war, l had
conferred with the President about an order
to Dewey to attack the Spanish fleet at
Manila
ION Sunday morning, April "a, I went to
the White House, sat with the President on
a sofa in the corridor, and earnestly adj
vised the sending of such an order. But for
Admiral Crownnshield's statement. 1
should have said unhestatingly that had
with me the dispatch which had been pre-
pared in his bureau of navigation, and that
the President approving. returned to the
Navy Department and sent 1t in to the
bureau of navigation to be put in cipher.
IT then went out to drive. AS drove out
between II and IL o'clock, remember pass
ing Admiral Crowninshield. AS to what
| transpired later at the White House at the
meeting which he describes I. of course,
| have no knowledge.
ut seems to me probable that the Presi-
dent, after his interview with me. sent for
some of the cabinet and Admiral Crownin-
shield and took up the dispatch which, ac-
| cording to my recollection. had already
| been prepared, and gave 1t final considera-
| ton Probably also there had then come in
! Deweys dispatch Of the day before, advis-
! ing us that he had been ordered to get away
| from Hong Kong"

10 the Secretary of State the appearance
Of plague at that place two weeks earlier
than usual this year. His statement Is
dated May Ii He says he has refused to
permit Chinese steerage passengers TO de-
part for Manila and adds:
The spread of plague during the past
ten days has been rapid and the fatalities
most appalling. 1t is impossible to give
approximately accurate data. no stats
tics are kept by the officials and no amount
of inquiry can result in accurate figures. 1t
is my opinion. based upon the most reliable
data from native sources. that during the
week just closed there were as many as
100 deaths per day in Annoy and its SUBJ
urbs. The same condition of affairs exists
in surrounding cities within thirty miles Of
