As a matter of fact, however, these state

most strenuously.
Kngland then appealed to Germany to
use her Influence to secure Russia's con

Germany replied in diplomatic language.

Germany and Prance are proceeding under
a well-deflned agreement In working out

probable that this known fact is. to a large
extent, responsible for the lengthy commu
nications luiw passing between London and
Washington, as Great llritaln. to emerge
with unimpaired prestige, needs the support
of the Cnlted States, and official state

Genuine lint Valueless.
The Conger dispatch fails to carry con
viction to cither the llritish prra or pub

Is pointed out here, the Chinese mnt po
fs quite a sneaf of s.uch messages, whiili
the Ministers fruitlessly endeavored to pet
transmitted, from which the could easily
select a noncommittal dispatch to serve me
required purpose.
It is supposed lliat Sir. Conger omitted to
destroy the Ipher code, and that this Is
now hi the possession of the "hlnec. In
which event the selection or e-oiicoction of
the dispatch would not be dliiicult. It is ar
gued that the dli-palch, if it were a genuine
reply to the inquiry of ;-he American Gov
ernment would go more into details. A
t-light ray of hop is admitted in the f-ict
that both Mr. and Mrs. Conger are known
to have been on very friendly terms with
the I"mpres Dowager, but the universal
opinion here is that If the dispatch is gen
uine, the date is falsified.
The Spectator says:
"It matters nothing whether the Empress
Dowager or Prince Tuan is the reigning
monarch. Both are devoted to the extirpa
tion of foreigners, and not one of the Vlce
rojs will dare oppose the anil-foreign policy.

Berlin View of Conger's Alleged Message and
Attitude of Southern Viceroys Avenging
Army of 115,000 Men.
i
Rerliri. July 20 The German Government
feels confluent that the present attempts
by Chinos.: officials to deny the I'ekln
massacre are insincere and dictated solely
by a dtslre to hamper" and retard the
power of the Joint action of tho Powers.
At the Chinese Legation here, where alao
denials of the mass lcre have arrived from
the. Viceroys, the statement was made to
day to th- correspondent of the Associated
Press that the Chinese Minister himself, Lu
Hal Ilounn. has In no she replied to the
rtcent prohibition by the Foreign Office of
his use of the telegraph for secret message",
but he has lnce sent to Count von Ituelow
several telegrams for approval, which has
been granted.
The Foreign Office considers that t he
gravest point In the situation Just now Is
the doubtful attitude of the Southern and
Central Viceroys, with the v!d-nt spre id
of the anti-foreign hostilities.
The n"wK received here Is very meager,
but It all points, to tr achery and to a
cunning policy of procrastination by tie
Viceroys until the moment shall have ar
rived when they can afford to discard tint
policy.
Yuan Shi Kal. Governor of Slian-Tunf:. is
regarded here as worse than unreliable.
The Foreign Office feels giid that all
the'o Chinese rusts have not succeeded in
blinding the I'owers or in retarding their
serlou-. military preparations
Ofliclal circles deny a number of storic3
printed by the English press, stories which
the Foreign Office characterizes as made of
the same cloth as many that were set
afloat during the Spanish-American War
ami the earlier stage-s of the hostilities In
South Afr.cn.
The only story having nny foundation, ac
cording to the Foreign Office, is the ques
tion of who Is to l.e the Commander-in-Chief
In China, which is now engaging; the
attention of the Powers. Kigarding this a
Foreign officii! raid to-day!
"The suggestion to make Iyird Wolseley
or Mm other English officer the Commander-in-Chief
does not meet with ap
proval anywhere. This is hardly strange,
because the IlrltNh land force in China Is
rather Insignificant, as well authenticated

agreed to forward to Pekin and
to have placed In Mr. Conger's handi

The first efTe-cr of the receipt of the mes
sage was a happy one. Thi re were cl.ecrs
in tho corridors and offices o! the great
State. War and Navy building for several
minutes, and then there was a sudjei
chnnce to almost complete silence.
It wms r called that the date or the mes
sage was not known d finitely, although a

of .Minister e'anger's dispatch showed tiat
the American legatlomrs were, at tho time

doubt of the liona tide nature of
the dispatch, some of them in private con
versation do not hesitate to declare that If
It rtnlly is a dispatch from the Amerii-an
Minister, It tells of conditions f at least
two weeks ago. One of thes- officials said
to-night:
"Note, first, that the dtspitch Is not

"You will remember that the Japanese
Legation in Washington Wednesday re
ceived n dUpatch. that had been sent from
Pekin June 2s, by the Japanese Minister.
It was practieilly identical with the Con
ger mess-ace 'legations under fire; little
hope, immediate relief or massacre ""
"Now. Is It not a reasonable supposition
that each Minister in Pekin sent such a
tnessug,. to h's Government at that time
I am sure that they did. and that all of
them were held up by Chinese officials -even
the Japanese Minister's cablegram.
for the dispatch he got through came by
courler to th coast. Evidently the Japan
ese Envoy, close neighbor to the China
man, knew him well enough to taku the
precaution to -end a duplicate message
one thut would not go through Chinese
hands.
"Vnli-e Prom Hie Tomli."
"Secrctarj lljy demanded ()f Minister
Wu proof that the Legatloners were safe.
He demanded this proof In the form of a
message from Minister Conger. And the
message comes a message written twenty
one days ago; u voice from the tomb.
"The Conger dispatch is. to my mind,
conllrmatlon of tho stories of massacre.
All these tlrcumstuutlal siories stated that
the foreigners were congregated In the
llritish Legation; thai they held out. under
heavy fire, until the night of July 6; that
then, driven from the building, they fought
all night In Pekln's stieeu When the sun
rose July ? the last man fell.
"Remember, only press dispatches have
told tills story .Minister Conger's dispatch
conflrms the press dispatcher In-so-far as
congregating in the Hrltish legation Is con
cerned. He adds.
"'Quick relief only can prevent general
massacre."
"The story of the massacre bus been
told. I have no doubt of its truth"

Consul Fowler's dispatches to-dav, while
corroborative- of the assertion that the Minis
ters vviro sale as late as July 13, do not
carry much weight here, as they ate Uised
upon statements made l-y the Governor of
Shan-Tung Province, from whom have
emanated all reports of tho .Mlnistera'
sale-ty.
I.onK Optimistic.
"Do ou regard the fact that the message
Is lu the State- Department code us conclu
sive evidence that it emanated from Minis
ter Conger?" Secretary Long was a-ktd to
day. "Might It not be possible that, having
massacred the Jieople lu the American le
gation, the code fell Into the hundsl of the
leaders of the Hoxer movement, and if such
were the fact might they not have framed
the reply -In the State Departments code
and attached Minister Conger's signature
to It?"
"I regard such a suggestion as dealing
with possibility too remote to be seriously
considered." replied the secretary. "I am of
the opinion that outsiders could not have
mado use of our code, and beside", the na
ture of the reply, with Its strong appeal for
immediate relief, is such as would not have
been sent by any one seeking to conceal a
catastrophe to the foreigners in Pekin."
The use of the word "troops" in Minister
Conger's dispatch Is considered at the State
Department its most significant feature. In
the first place it shows that the dispatch
was not tampered wit" iy the Chinese au
thorities, because It would have been to
their interest to substitute some other word
and make It plain that the soldiers who
were shelling the British Legation were
rebels and not under imperial control. In
the second place It contlrms the statements
