There | were some things in the agreement which 2 the Government felt that it could not ac- | nese soldiers; America, Itallan and Dutch | cept. Such, for instance, was the absolution | proposed to be extended to the Chinese Government in advance for many out- reges that might occur in'the treaty ports. The Government has, however, no objection to the principles embodied in the agreement, and has therefore told Consul Goodnow by telegram that might pledge the American Government to commit no act of hostility so long as the Viceroy of the province Is able to keep the peaca &nd will protect foreigners. This determination has been made known to the other powers. There is every disposition on the part of the Government to encourage such an agreement, for they will not only relieve the Government of the necessity of main- taining a large naval force at the south- ern treaty ports, but will tend to strengthen decidedly whatever opposition there may be in China to the anti-foreign element headed by Prince Tuan. Our Government is convinced.that this leader does not represent the Chinese Gov- ernment. It also is satisfled that the of- ficial class of China generally, the men of influence and learning, are dacidedly op- posed to Tuan's policy. Holding this view, our Government is still convinced that a state of war with China does not exist; that we are merely opposing an In- surrectionary mob, even though that mob has been swelled by Chinese soldiers. s i o e s WOULD DESTROY GRAVES. BERLIN, July 2—The consular body at Tientsin has unanimously yproposed to their governments as the sole means of gaving the foreigners at Peking that the united powers should Inform the Chinese authorities that the graves of the an- cestors of the imperial family at Peking will be destroyed if the foreigners at Peking, especlally the Ministers, are harmed. It is understood Great Hritain is not disposed to adhere to the proposi- tion. LOSS AMONG ITALIANS.

Bruce adds: | “As the allied troops have been arriving | rapldly, we do not know what arrange- | ments have been made locally for the | command of the new expedition. But it has not yet been thought possible to ats tempt a further advance.” Suiy e FRENCH CONSULATE STRUCK. PARIS, July 2.
