General Tung Fuh Siang is known to be anti-foreign in his sentiments, but we cannot dispense with his services, and, having a large number of soldiers under him, he might order a European massa- cre, which the Emperor and Empress would be unable to prevent. “My object now Is to advise the ailies not to do any act of vengeance, but to restore peace and to secufe guarantees for the future. This can be best done by co-operating with Li Hung Chang.
