EW YORK, July 15.—A special to the World from Washington says: | In the following publication this morning of President McKinley's plan for China the World presents in detail the administration’s policy. The information herein contained comes direct from the President himself, with but one | intermediary. The points decided upon are these: To co-operate with the powers for the relief of foreigners in Peking if alive and the punishment of the murderers if dead. The United States will furnish its full quota of men and warships and bear Its | share of all needed expenses. But such co-operation does not mean any deviation from the fixed policy of independent ac- tion. The allied army must march to Peking. The United States will not be a party to any alllance hereafter formed for the dismemberment of China or the acquisition of territory. The United States will protest against the dismemberment of China. Open door trade relations and a distinctive govern- ment must be maintained. In any ewent the United States, Great Britain and Ja- pan will act in unity as against other in- | terestea nations. China must pay all expenses sustained by the United States in prosecuting the present efforts to relleve Peking. The in- demnity demands will depend aMogether on the expenditures made necessary In conducting the projected military opera- tions. A formal declaration of war will be made agalnst China by the United States, nor will the United States be a party to any declaration of war by an other nation, neither will it be recoz- nized that a state of war exists.
