SECRETARY HAY.

though action there had been contem-
plated, decided to address himself d.
rectly to the governments interested in
the Chinese question and maintaining
forces in Tientsin. This was done
through the American ambassadors
and ministers resident at the various
European courts and at Tokyo. An
swers have been received from nearly
all of these.
The latest to come to hand We're
from France and Germany, and quite
unexpectedly they have all proved to
be favorable to the United States con-
te1ltion. The powers are now agreed
to instruct their generals at Tientsin
to abandon the condition sought to be
imposed as a precedent to evacuation,
that save the small police force of 300
men the Chinese military forces must
be kept at distance of not less than
thirty kilometers from Tientsin. AL
though there We're some other objec-
tionable features in the agreement
which the generals required from the
Chinese, they were of comparatively
little importance in the Chinese mind
compared to this condition as to the
position of the Chinese troops, and as
this obstacle has been removed a
speedy conclusion is expected of the
Tientsin negotiations.
