"Sir: Referring to my recent ac tions lu declining to take part In the seizure of the Taku forts, and In after ward making common cause with the foreign forces In the protection of for eign life and property. I would respect fully state mat the Chinese Govern ment Is now paralyzed and the secret edicts show that It Is In sympathy with tno noxers. "2. The fact that under the existing circumstances the troops at the forts were given much extra drills, torpe does were provided and, It Is claimed, planted In the entrance of the Relho. was considered menacing and by other senior naval officers sufficient cause to Justify them In demnndlng the tempo rary occupation of the forts. This cul minated in the bombardment of the forts by other foreign gunboats on the morning of the nth Inst., which has been described. In this bombardment the Monoeacy was tired upon and struck without having received pre vious warning. 1 "3. It is now necessary to Join with the other foreign powers for common defense and preservation of foreign people and the honor of our country. "4. I refused to Join In taking pos session of the Imperial Chinese, Rail way station, and also declined to Join In the demnnd for temporary occupa tion of the Taku forts, for I thought It against the policy and wishes o'f our Government to be entangled with other foreign powers in such a Btep, and also because It endangered the lives of people In the Interior In ad vance of absolute necessity, for up to early morning of Juno 17 the Chinese Government had not committed, so far as I am aware, any act of open hos tilities toward the foreign armed forces. "5. In opening fire without warning an act of war was committed, when many Bhots were fired at the place where the Monoeacy was moored, about 3000 yards from the forts. Those fir ing must have known of her presence there, as she had been moored In that position for a number of days.

It Is added that the foreigners are leaving Pekln under a Chinese es cort and will soon be heard from at the coast. While these stories are not credited anywhere, the feeling Is growing that the Ministers may alter all be alive. They may, It Is thought, be held as hostages by the Chinese Government. In the hope of getting better terms from the powers. Color Is lent to this view by the proposition of the Chinese Government submitted to Washington officials, of fering to produce the foreign Ministers at a seacoast town provided the allies will agree to take no further steps of military aggression. The proposition was promptly rejected by the Govern ment. It Is thought that a like propo sition has been made to the other pow ers.

CnlNKSE I.tUATlOX l.r It F.T All V SAY KNVOV ARK MOV1NC1. Washington (Special). With the ex ception of the message from tho American minister at Pekln that the foreigners were alive July 18, the latest and most cheering news was that flashed from London. It was In effect that the Pekln legatlonlsts were safe and about to start for Tientsin. This happy confirmation of Minister Conger's cable was given at the Brit Mi capital by Sir Halllday Macartney, counsellor and English secretary to the Chinese legation In London. The Chinese Minister at London communicated to the press a dispatch from the Taotal of Shanghai that Pe kln Information of July 18 asserted all the Ministers were well. From the French Consul at Chefu was cabled a messnge to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (at Paris), M. Del casse, which sent a thrill of joy to the hearts of all. It was dated July 21, and declared then that according to re liable news from Pekln the foreign Ministers were alive. Furthermore, the assurance was given that the Gov ernment was endeavoring to rescue and guard them. The State Department received a dis patch from Consul-General Goodnow at Shanghai. Prince Tuan had wired that an officer of the Tsung LI Yamen saw all tho Ministers July 18, that none were injured, and that they were not at that time being attacked. It was thought probable that a mis take had been made in the name and that it was really Prince Yuan, Gover nor of the Shantung province, instead of the notorious Boxer chieftain. That the United States Government still has supreme faith that Conger's message was all it purported to be was shown by the statement given out that It was willing to mediate regarding China under certain conditions.

Clergy native, foreign recalled Shanghai." The Bishop had previously cabled that the women missionaries had gone to Japan and the men had been or dered to treaty ports. A treaty port is not necessarily on the coast, however, and there are several such on the Yungtse River, fur from the protection of foreign men-of-war. The cable re ceived to-day shows that the only point in Central China that Is still regarded as safe Is Shanghai. The term "Cen tral China" Is used roughly to indicate that territory which is drained by the Yungtse. All the Protestant Episco pal missions are in that territory. Mil. DltAI'IU HAS Hl.SKiMI).

NEW ORLEANS RIOTS WHITE MORS ATTACK NEGROES, MILITIA CALLED OCT. ONE COLORED MAN KILLED. -Mayor Swear In Extra I'ollcemen nnd Iflnue h I'roclamatlon Commanding IVace-One Negro llcnteil to Death, HI W!'l I'robalily Die, and n Score of Other I'rraou Severely Injured. New Orleans (Special).- Disorderly scenes followed the rioting throughout the city and resulted in the swearing In by the Mnyor of 600 special police men and the ordering out of 1500 of the State Mllltln. Governor Heard reponded promptly to the appeal of Mayor Capdevlelle for assistance In suppressing the existing lawlessness and In preventing a re currence of the violence. Throughout the day attacks were made by Irre sponsible mobs of whites upon the blacks. Tho effect of the disorders was to put n practical stop to business In the wholesale districts, and on the levee fronts. As this meant a serious crippling of the trade of the port, the business element rallied In force and hundreds of the most prominent men of the city responded to the appeal of the Mayor for assistance In preserving order. A summary of the killed and Injured growing out of the disturbances shows that one negro was beaten to death, six were so badly wounded that their lives are despaired of, and about a score of persons, white nnd black, male and female, have been more or less seriously wounded. In order to pre vent the miscellaneous distribution of arms the Mayor ordered the closing of gunshops and Issued orders to the po lice to close up every saloon In the city. Colonel Wood, who commanded the First Louisiana Regiment in the Span ish War, was placed In commnnd of the special police. The police h.ive been practically helpless during tho disturbance. The fierce Indignation among the members of the department of the ruthless murder of Captain Day nnd Patrolman I.nmb by the negro Robert Charles to some extent inad3 the police sympathetic with the mobs in their pretended efforts to avenge the murders. The fact that there has been a strong feeling on the part of the working people against steamship agents nnd contractors employing ne gro labor to the exclusion of whites on public works nnd on the levee fronts also contributed somewhat, It is be lieved, to the disinclination of the po lice to do their full duty. Mayor Capdevlelle was at Ocean Springs when the mobs Bwept over the city, but when ho arrived at his office he came with a full determination to take hold of the situation with a firm hand. He found awaiting him a dele gation of the leading merchants of the city, who said the Interests of the com munity and its commercial welfare de manded prompt and vigorous action. About the same lime Lieutenant- Governor Esloplnel, who had wit nessed a scene of outrage upon negroes on Canal street, Joined in the confer ence at the hotel. He nt once advised a conference with Governor Heard at Baton Rouge. The long-distance tele phone was used and the Governor said he would order out all available troops. Without delay be sent mes sages to Colonel Hodgson, command ing the First Brigade In the absence of General Glynn, nnd had him imme diately order out the Washington Ar tillery, the Louisiana Field Battery and the First Regiment. At twilight I here were 1500 men congregated in the armories. At the same time the Mayor In a proclamation appealed for 500 special police. Before 4 p. m. 400 of the representative citizens of tho community' had been sworn In. The Mayor made requisition on th" leading hardware and ammunition establish ments of the city, and the specials were heavily armed and sent to vari ous sections of the city. Mayor Capdevlelle's proclamation had an excellent effect. It called upon ull good citizens not enrolled In the special police to go to their homes or places of business and remain there. They also were warned and advised not to loiter about the streets. The police, general and special, were di rected to disperse all crowds and to arrest all disorderly persons. A W7.VIKIO I'll? I'.
