German Ambassador, Or. Won Hoeben; the
French Ambassador. VI. Camhon: the japanese
Minister Mr.. Takahira. and the Belgian Minis

rather long conferences with Secretary Hay.
The ambassadors and ministers also gathered in
groups in the anterOom and discussed with ami
nation the progress of events in the Far East.
