LI HUNG CHANG'S COMPLAINT. ST. PETERSBURG, July 28.—A dispatch has been recefved from Ii Hung (‘hang dated July 26 which states that the Chi- nese Government telegraphs him under date of July 23 that the Ministers are all well. Li Hung Chang also complains that none of the powers have consented to | place a warship at his disposal for his | Journey north, and he added that he would be compelled to encount: ‘ obstacles by a land jourpey. . .m“ D e B S S S dicate His [] ] * Deceiving t ASHINGTON, July 28.—The day brought forth the usual erop of edicts and reports from various quarters, and the usual visit from Minister Wu to the State Department, bearing directly upon the welfare of the Ministers in Peking. This constantly growing mass of assertion is beginning to have a cumulative effect upon the skep- tics and there is a noticeably more hope- ful view taken of the state of affairs to- day. Beyond the fact that it is scarcely concelvable that the Chinese authorities should persist in repeating and strength- ening these stories up to the rapidly ap- | proaching moment when the whole truth must be disclosed by other agencles, it appeared upon careful consideration of the reports that there really was a little more ground for hope as to the safety of Mr. Conger and his cc than there was yesterday. The de- ng fact is always In mind that the >se_authorities, by their own state- able to communicate with the lega- for some mysterious reason.do not permit these unfortunates to com- munieate with their Minister Wu's explanation of this, that the Chinese methodsare different from our own, is scarcely sufficient for the officials here. The Minister, however, is honestly trying to get a further communication through from Mr. Conger, and it may be that success in this undertaking will af- ford him a brilliant vindication. The War Department officials now cal- culate that General Chaffee, with his troops on the Grant, will arrive at Taku to-da; CONGER MESSAGE Chinese Minister Hopes to Vin- the Suspicion That It IS —_—— ues at Peking | own governments. | Government of he Powers. | this evening, though it may be several days before his report of the fact ecan [reuh the department. The irregular and unsatisfactory character of the present | system of communication between Taku | and the cable office has been taken into account by the War Department, and it | | is said that one of Chaffee's first acts on | taking command of the United States | forces ashore at Taku and Tient wlll‘ | be to establish, perhaps in co-operation | with other commanders, a line of rapid boats, running from Tientsin to Shanghat | or Nagasaki. | While the positive statement fs made | that it Is not the present intention to send | any more troops from Manila to China, at | the same time it is known that all con- tingencies have been canvassed, and that if an emergency should zrise in China which made it imperative to have addi- tional troops they would be drawn from | | the Philippines for temporary duty at | least. Some time ago General MacArthur was advised by Secretary Root to main- tain sutficient transports to carry supplies | between Manila and Taku, and these transports would be available for emerg- ency troops. The Pennsylvania, Indiana | | and Bumner, when the latter arrives at Manila, probably will be held for service between Manila and Teku and will be | avatlable for the contingency which mey | occur, but which the department does not expect to arlse. A stubborn resistance to the advance of the international armies might make additional troops necessary. In that event a speedy relief column no doubt would be sent from Manila. APPEAL Lord Salisbury ONDON, July 28.—A parliamentary paper on China was issued this aft- ernoon, dealing with the perfod of the murder of Missionary Brooks, | January 4 to July 13, when the Chi- nese Minister at London, Sir Chih Chen | Lo Feng Luh, communicated to Lord Salisbury the imperial edict. The last written communication from the British Minister at Peking, Sir Claude Macdonaid, dated May 25, refers to the warning to Prince Ching that the Ministers would summon guards unless the Government | showed a greater disposition to protect the legations. Minister Macdonald admit- ted that he was somewhat surprised at the calmness with which Prince Ching re- ceived the sugzestion, which he sald had already been made to him. Minister Mac- donald adds: “Possibly the Government has awak- ened to the strength of the Boxer move- ment and would be disposed to welcome the additional security afforded by the presence of forelgn troops.” The contents of Sir Claude Macdonald's | subsequent telegrams are already known. On July 7 Lord Salisbury notified the Vicerc through a communication to the ter that they would be held ilty should any injury be Europeans. On July 6 Lord Salisbury : the southern Viceroys as- | surances of support. On July 11 the Chinese legation forward- ed to the Queen a telegram dispatched from Peking July 3 by the Emperor, as follow “Since the opening of commercial inter- course between the foreign nations and Britain China the aspirations of Great have always been after commercial ex- tension, not territorial aggrandizement, Recently dissensions have arisen between | Christians and. the peopie qf Chili and Shantung. Certain evil disposed persons have availed themselves of the occasion | to make disturbances, and these have ex- tended =o rapidly that the treaty powers, suspecting the rioters might have been encouraged by the lmperial Government, attacked and occupied the Taku forts. The sufferings arlsing from this act of hostil- ity have been great and the situation is iuch involved. In consideration of the that of the_ foreign commerce of China more than 70 per cent belongs to | England, that the Chinese tarift is lower than that of any other country and the restrictions thereon fewer, British mer- chants have during the last few decades maintained relations with Chinese mer- | chants at ports as harmoniously as if | both were members of the same family. | But now complications have arisen, mu- tual distrust has been engendered and the | situation has thus changed for the worse, | end it is felt that if China cannot be sup- ported in maintaining her position foreign nations, looking on so large and populous a country, so rich in natural resources, might be tempted to exploit or despoil it | | ana perhaps differ among themselves with | respeet to their conflicting interests. It | | is evident that this will create 4 sfate of | m: that would be disadvantageous | to Great Britain, a country which views commerce as her greatest interest. China is now engased in raising men and means | to cope with these eventualities, but she feels that if left to herself she might not be equal to the occasion should {t ever arise, and therefore turns to England in the Nope of procuring her good offices in | | bringing about a settlement of the dif- ferences that have arisen with the other t powers. | Emperor makes this frank ex- | . of what is nearest his heart and | this appeal her Majesty the aciously taken | 4 Queen Empress may be g under consideration and an answer vouch- | safed at the earliest possible moment.” The papers close with the edict of June 29, already published, which was commu-~ nieated to the Foreign Office July 13. The Parliament paper on China shows that considerable negotiations had previ- ously pas between Great Britain and the other Buropean powers regarding the | policy of Japan's action, while Lord Sal- isbury notified Embassador Pauncefote on June 22 as follows: . “You suggest to Secretary of State Hay that any troops which it is possible to send from Manila would be of great value, as it is probable that the United States legation is in great danger, as well as | the legations of other powers. | Germany assumed the position regard- | ing the Japanese matter that nothing must be done to imperil the accord of the | powers. Japan insisted upon an assurance | that her invasion would not lead to a col- | lision with Russia. Russia finally declared | on June 2 that she had no desire to hin- der” Japan’s itberty, especially after her | expressed Intention to conform her action | with that of the other powers. 1 The correspondence shows that Count | Muravieff, the late Russian Minister of | Foreign Affairs, took an optimistic view | of the situation in China, but that Count | Lamsdorff, his successor, was far from sharing in this sanguine view. He thought that Northern China was in a state of hopeless anarchy, as did M.

M. Delcasse in- sisted that the relief of the legations at Peking was far more important than any petty grievances among the powers. | EMPRESS MAY HAVE FLED TO SINGAN-FU NEW YORK, July 28.—The World to- | morrow will publish a statement by Sher- idan P. Reed, ex-Consul at Tientsin, in which he says: ““When the allfed rellef forces reach Pe- | king I think they may find the capital de- | serted by the court and the envoys gone. It is not unlikely that the Empress, and possibly the Emperor, have fled with their court under the escort of Manchu Banner- men from Peking to Singan-Fu, taking with them the Ministers at least as host~ ages and leaving the other foreigners in Peking to a horrible fate. | “If the Ministers are being held as hostages and are being removed to the remote inland city of Singan-Fu, a place most _difficult to reach, it is natural that the Chinese should put forth all their finesse and cunning to conceal this move until they are sa fl)ly across the moun- tains. “For many years the Chinese have been contemplating the removal of the court from Peking to this inland city, the idea being uppermost in the Chinese mind that the more inaccessible the capital the fewer would be the demands upon China from the outer world. Besides this city was a capital of China in ancient times, It s situated on the so-called ‘Marco Polo’ road, known to the Chinese as the great north trade route. ‘It will be almost impossible to move an army across the mountains, with their narrow passes and deep deflles, which gfipam‘(’e_ the provinces of Chili and hansi. PREVENTED ESCAPE OF | WOMEN FROM PEKING CHICAGO, July 28.—A letter telling of a desperate but ineffectual attempt made by missionaries §o escape from Peking | was réceived here to-day by Morgan S. | Woodward, an Evanston man, whose | wife and daughter Ione are visiting Min- ister Conger and family in the Chinese | capital. | The letter was written June 11, sent by courler to Tientsin and maiied at that place June 14, The missionaries, Mrs. Woodward says, had fled to the American legation. June 10, she declares, acting un- | der the advice of Mr. Conger, she and her daughter, accotnpanied by Secretary Bain- bridge and a guard of four soldicrs, left the fegation and started for the railway depot. With much difficulty they reached the station, only to find that the Boxers had torn up the rails for several mil burned the bridges between Peking a Tientsin and cut the telegraph wires. Nothing remained but to return to the legatio: They were continually attacx- ing pands of riotous natives and after a desperate running fight they man- aged to regain the protection of the lega- tion. In the legation, Mrs. Woodward | says, it was reported that a small army of the ailies had started to relieve the prisoners. vistons, she declared, were | plentiful. cluding her letter Mrs. | Woodward says: | “We feel confident that we will be res- cued. In fact, we are assured that every- thing possible will be done by our Gov- stian nations to relieve us immedliatel PROBABLY MURDERED IN INTERIOR CHINA DENVER, Colo., July 28.—J. C. Welp- ton of this city to-day recelved a letter from his brother, H. G. Welpton, a physi- cian and missionary in China, which was written on June 23 and in which he said he would cable later to assure his friends As mo cable from him has been received his friends fear he has been killed. The letter written by Dr. Welpton was sent from Kuling, China, via Kiang- iang. At that time, Sune 23, he was very | hopeful about the situation and the safety ers. He says that the natives | kind to him and evidences of | trouble were scarcely to be found. He wrote from the interior of China, whera there is comparative peace and to which place it is not believed the insurrection has spread. Dr. Welpton wrote further that most of the Americans in the interior were then hastening to Peking to be under the protection of the legations in case trouble should begin. He declared that it would be a great mistaki powers to partition China; that the Ori- ental nation should be left Intact In order that Christian missions ht spread throughout the empire. | China. | tino, the Italian Min!

NEW YORK, July 28.—The Sun has the following from Rom Count San Mar- ter of War, who was formerly Italian Minister to China, takes a gloomy view of the Chinese situation in general and of affairs in Peking in par- ticular. He has not the slightest doubt that the advance of the allied forces on the capital will be the signal for a general insurrection, 1n which the Yangtse Vice- roys will have to join. ' Count Martino says he has received from China fullest proof of a plot or- ganized by the mild young Emperor, who is tired of his condition of tutelage. It was arranged that he should leave the palace at night, take refuge in the Britjsh legation and there hoist the imperial flag and proclaim the deposition of the Em- press Dowager on the ground of senile decay. ' This whole business was to have been managed by the Military Governor of Tientsin, who was to march upon the capi- tal. But at the last moment the Gov- ernor turned traitor and the Empress Dowager, believing that all the legations were concerned In the scheme, commenced retallating by patronizing the Boxers, with the disastrous results now known.
