ADvIcEs FROM RoCKHILL.
Cable Dispatch Received Referring to
Routine Matters.

A cablegram was received at the State
Department today from Minister Rockhili
at Picking referring to some routine mat
tiers of business, but not touching at all
upon the state of affairs in China. This Is
regarded at the department as significant
in negative way. because the oath of Feb
ruary was the date mentioned by some OF
the Chinese in this country as that ap-
pointed for an anti-foreign uprising In
China, and Mr.. RockhilTs failure to make
mention of any trouble is therefore inter-
esting.
The Secretary of State yesterday received
a telegram from Minister Rockhill stating
that he and his colleagues see no cause for
undue apprehension concerning the stua-
ton in China. Although they consider eau
zion and watchfulness always necessary,
they believe the published reports of un-
easiness to be without cause. Missionary
troubles are not more frequent than useia /,
and are due, as was the Shanghai riot. to
local causes.
Mr. Rockhill says the Chinese government
appreciates the Importance of preventing
hostility toward foreigners; that 1t has re-
Gently been cautioned by Japan In that re-
spect and has declared its determination
TO insure their safety under all circum-
stances While the boycott may continue,
with local friction, the minister says moth
ing more serious Is anticipated by those on
the ground. A pronounced general feeling
OF determination is noted on the part of
the Chinese to secure complete economic
exploitation Of their empire.
