CORRESPONDENCE IS
GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC
Dispatches Passed Between
President and Emperor.
IS ASKED TO CO-OPERATE
Chinese Government Is Given An Op
portunity to Prove Its Sincerity and
Absolve Itself From Complicity In
the Massacre of Foreigners.
Washington, July 24.—The follow
ing correspondence between the presi
dent of the United States and the em
peror of China has been made public by
the state department.
Translation of the cablegram received
by Minister Wu on July 20, 1900, from
the taotai of Shanghai, dated July 19,
1900:
“Have received a telegram from Gov
ernor Yuan (of Shan Tung) dated twen
ty-third day of this moon (July 10) who,
having received from the privy council
(at Peking) a dispatch embodying an
imperial letter to the president of the
United States, has instructed me to
transmit it to your excellency. The im
perial message is respectfully transmit
ted as follows:
“ ‘China has long maintained friendly
relations with the United States and is
deeply conscious that the object of the
United States is international commerce.
Neither country entertains the least sus
picion or distrust toward the other. Re
cent outbreaks of mutual antipathy be
tween the people and Christian missions
caused the foreign powers to view with
suspicion the position of the imperial
government as favorable to the people
and prejudicial to the missions, with the
result that the Taku forts were attacked
and captured. Consequently there has
been clashing of forces with calamitous
consequences. The situation has become
more and more serious and critical.
“ ‘We have just received a telegraphic
memorial from our envoy, Wu Ting
Fang and it is highly gratifying to us to
learn that the United States govern
ment, having in view the friendly rela
tions between the two countries, has
taken a deep interest in the present situ
ation. Now China, driven by the irri
sistible course of events, has unfortu
nately incurred well nigh universal in
dignation. For settling the present
difficulty China places special reliance
in the United States. We address this
message to your excellency in all sin
cerity and candidness, with the hope
that your excellency will devise meas
ures and take the initiative in bringing
about a concert of the powers for the
restoration of order and peace. The
favor of a kind reply is earnestly re
quested and awaited with the greatest
anxiety. ’
“It is, therefore, my duty to transmit
the above with the request that your
excellency, in respectful obedience of
his imperial wishes, will deliver the
same to its high destination and favor
me with a reply. ”
President McKinley’s Reply,
This telegram was at once communi
cated to the president at Canton, 0., and
the following is his reply:
“I have received your majesty’s mes
sage of July 19, and am glad to know
that your majesty recognizes the fact
that the government and people of the
United States desires of China nothing
but what is just and equitable. The
purpose of which wo landed troops in
China was the rescue of our legation
from the grave danger and protection of
the lives and property of Americans
who wore sojourning in China in the
enjoyment of rights guaranteed them by
treaty and by international law. The
same purposes are publicly declared by
all the powers which have landed mili
tary forces in your majesty’s enqrire.
“I am informed in your majesty’s let
ter that the malefactors who have dis
turbed the peace of China, who have
murdered the minister of Germany and
a member of the Japanese legation, and
who now hold besieged in Peking those
foreign diplomats who still survive, have
not only received no favor or encurago
ment from your majesty, but are actu
ally in rebellion against the imperial au
thority. If this be the case I most
solemnly urge upon your majesty’s gov
ernment to give the public assurance
whether the foreign ministers are alive,
and, if so, in what condition.
“2. To put the diplomatic representa
tives of the powers in immediate and
free communication with their respec
tive governments and to remove all dan
ger to their lives ami liberty.
“3. To place the imperial authorities
of China in communication with the re
lief expedition so that co-operation may
be secured between them for the libera
tion of the legationers, the protection of
foreigners and the restoration of order.
“If these objects are accomplished it
is the belief of this government that no
obstacles will be found to exist on the
part of the powers to an amicable settle
ment of all the questions arising out of
the recent troubles and the friendly good
offices of this government will, with the
assent of the other powers, be cheerfully
placed at your majesty’s disposition for
that purpose.”

FOREIGNERS AT PEKING

Consul Has Been Heard From.
Shanghai, July 24.—The following
dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated July 3,
has been received here, having been de
layed 20 days in transmission:
“Famine and pestilence are sure to
strike the region of Tien Tsin soon.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinamen are
leaving their homes in the districts
where fighting is going on, without
means of support.
“Lieutenant Colonel John O. S. Mal
lory of the Forty-first United States in
fantry has arrived here to act as mili
tary observer.
“The American and British command
ers here have established a censorship
of correspondents of those nationalities
to prevent the transmission of news that
might tend to kindle international ani
mosities. The bitter Russian prejudices
of certain of the English correspondents
caused this action.
THE SUFFERING IS INTENSE.
Eight Hundred People In Legation
Without Food or Water.
San Francisco, July 24. —Shanghai
and Yokohama newspapers received by
the American steamer Maru give some
interesting facts regarding the situation
in China and Japan. Os the position of
the foreign colony in the British lega
tion The Japan Mail of Yokohama says:
“This is a time when to live in Peking
at all is to suffer terribly from heat.
With 800 foreigners, including many
women and children, crowded in the
British legation, and exposed to tho con
stant rifle fire of tho Chinese, the misery
must be great.
“The provision question is the worst.
There are no ice plants in the foreign
legations and they have been accustomed
to depending upon tbe Chinese markets
for their daily supplies of beef and mut
ton. A certain quantity of preserved
provisions were doubtless in stock in the
Hotel do Peking, but nothing to feed so
large a number as 800.”
DISPATCH FROM TIEN TSIN.
French Consul Says Legatloners at
Peking Are In Sore Straits.
Paris, July 24. —Four dispatches from
tho French confiul at Tien Tsin, dated
severally July 13, 14, 17 and 18, for
warded from Che Foo, July 18 to 20,
have been received by the minister of
foreign affairs, M. Dolcasse. The dis
patch dated July 13 says a courier from
Peking relates that since June 20 the
foreigners had been besieged in the Brit
ish legation and that the marines were
making a vigorous defence. The sup
ply of ammunition was low and tho peril
of those in the legation was great. Up
to tho time the courier left Peking the
loss of tho marines had been 16 killed
and 17 wounded.
The dispatch dated July 14 announces
the taking of Tien Tsin. That of July
17 says Tien Tsin was quiet.
A courier had been dispatched to Pe
king and his return was expected in
seven days.
The dispatch of July 18 says the mili
tary chiefs of tho allied forces were at
that time deliberating as to tho form of
government that should be given Tien
Tsin.
WILL BE SENT TO TIEN TSIN.
Foreigners at Peking Will Join the
Allied Forces Under Escort.
Washington, July 24.—The Chinese
minister received a dispatch from Sheng,
director of railroads and telegraphs at
Shanghai, stating that the foreign min
isters are to be sent from Peking to Tien
Tsin by escort, also that tho imperial
government has not only been protect
ing them, but has supplied them with
food. '
British Minister Heard From.
London, July 24.—The foreign office
has received a dispatch from the British
consul at Tien Tsin, dated July 21, stat
ing that he had just received a letter
from Sir Claude MacDonald, theJßritish
minister at Peking, dated July 14, ap
pealing for relief. There wore enough
provisions at tho legation to la i a fort
night, tho letter said, but tho garrison
was unequal to tho task of holding out
against a doterminod attack for many
days. There has boon 44 deaths and
about double that number wounded.
The foreign office thinks that tho dis
patch does not affect tho main question
of the reported massacre of members ®f
tho legation at Peking.
Foreigners Held as Hostages.
London, July 24.—Li Hung Chang’s
reported statement to the effect that
while tho foreigners aro alive, they
would bo killed immediately if the allied
forces neared Peking, is regarded by
those who credit tho reported survival
of the foreign ministers as an indication
that tho latter aro hold as hostages and
that their lives will be made the subject
of negotiations by the Chinese. Hence
Li Hung Chang’s anxiety to keep tho
powers from Poking as long as possible.
Russian Advance Blocked.
Shanghai, July 24.—Throe thousand
Russians have arrived at New Chwang
from Port Arthur and their advance is
blocked by 10,000 Chinese troops near
there. Fighting is imminent. The
