Washington, July SI. The effect of
yesterday's news from China was to
freshen the hope that the government
ean soon get In direct communication
with Minister Conger. The masB of
testimony its to his being alive as lata
as the 2'Jd Inst. Is now so great aa to
warrant the department in resuming
fie consideration of projects for the
future. With nil of Its anxiety to get
Mr, Conger and the Americans In Pekln
safely away the department is proceed
ing with proper caution anil is by nn
means disposed to accept any proposi
tion that would unduly Jeopardize their
lives. Such might he the result of 1111
offhand acceptance of the proposition
to have the Chinese government deliver
the foreign ministers at Tien Tsln, for
It Is realized that the escort might be
overpowered by superior forces of
Iloxers on the way to the sea. The
Htate department has come to the con
clusion that Mr. Conger himself Is the
best person to Judge of the conditions
under which his deliverance shall he
effected, and. therefore. It Is again
looking to the Chinese government 10
place it in communication with Mr.
Conger In order thai it may he advised
by him. That requirement was the
(list of the conditions laid down by
President McKlnley In his answer to
the appeal of the Chinese emperor, so
that the situation diplomatically enn
not be said to have been materially
changed.
The state department waa inclined
to regard Consul Fowler's communica
tion as the most valuable piece of con
firmatory evidence yet receivod touch
ing the safely of the Pekln diplomats.
According to this dispatch the minis
ters (except the (ierman minister)
were safe July 22, though some of the.
legatloners lind been killed. The Ger
man loss was 10 dead and 12 wounded.
Ten battalions of Chinese shelled the
legation from June 20 to July 17.
Up to a late hour no answer had
been received to the second Conger
message, but In view of Consul Fow
ler's news the officials were inclined
to look forward to an early reply.
