On the other hands, he feels the United States is abiding in good faith by all the provisions of its treaties with China, and thinks the steps now being taken are necessary to give to | American missionaries and other citizens of this country in China the full protection they are entitled to. Latest advices show that more |than 60 American refugees also have | left Foochow for Shanghai, Hong- | kong and other coa-t cities whers foreign warcraft are stationed.
