John Foord, secretary of the American Asiatic association, today resolved tho fol lowing cablegram from the Shanghai branch of the association: "SHANGHAI, June 13,-arave danger threatens Americans Yang Tse valley. Urgently advise gunboat protection. Ameri can association." On the 7th Inst, the following telegram was received by tho association from Its Shanghai branch: "American lives nnd l.-lermts In North China are seriously Imperiled. Urge gov ernment to act promptly and vigorously with adequate force. The association, using these two cable grams as a basH, In circulating n petition for signatures, addressed to tho president, ask ing that this government tako energetic steps to protect American lives and Interests In China, also that tho United States act In concert with tho other powers In this emergency. It was said at the State departmsnt today that no request for 2,000 or In fact for any number of troops has been received from Mlnlstor Conger, as reported from Shanghai. ,a :i matter of fact tho Start department has not heard from iMIniutcr Conger for thirty-six hours past. As it Is gathcrod that Luropean foreign ofllces nre In the same position respecting their diplomatic repre sentatives at Pekln It Is assumed at the Stnto department that telegraphic com munication bctweon Pekln nnd the outnlde world, which for tho last three days has consisted of a single lino running north Into Russian Mauchurla, has at last been totally Interrupted. Tho Btatoment thnt this government has not in tho slightest degreo changed Its p ol- tlon respecting tho Inexpediency of lauding United States troops In China Is made with the knowledge on tho part of the State de partment officials of the current reports that other powers Interested, notably Great Britain, Russian and Japan, cither have al ready or arc about to land troODs nt Taku and Tien Tsln. There seems to bo a dis position to make a distinction between tho use of troops and marinos under exUtlng conditions, It probably Is assumed that tho presence of marines on Chinee soli, In dicating from their character that tho land ing Is purely temporary, Is much less apt to raise grave International Isflues, either with China or with tho other powers rep resented at Taku, Their employment, there fore, marks the extent of the forco to be put Into play by the United States govern ment, according to tho present determina tion, but for whatever injury has been sus tained by tho United States, cither through tho killing of citizens or the destruction of missionary property, China will bo held for a heavy Indemnity. The Japancso authorities here say the Yokohama press dispatch stating that Japan U about to send a mixed regiment to China Is undoubtedly correct, as It tallies with what has been expected In diplomatic quar ters, Mr. Nabeshlma th- charge, says there aro thrro pori ! wuich -var ships and transports assemble, namely Yokosuka, Kuro and Sasebo. Ho believes that tho movement will bo mado from Kure. Tho headquarters of the Fifth military division Is only two miles from the naval port, so that no time need bo lost in getting troops nboard the transports In caso tho movements aro de cided upon. In somo diplomatic quarters thero Is talk of a Joint request by all of the parties In terested, ou cither Japan or Russia, or both of them, to land a Strang force of soldiers, Instead of tho limited number of marines now available. This, however, bus not yet taken official form. Mr. Nabeshlma says Japan would not act along such lines unless all the powers united in a request of that character. In that event ho fcola Japan could very readily nnd single-handed put an end to the disorder, as It could tor ward a largo forco of soldiers capablo of re pairing tho lino to Pekln nnd maintaining perfect quiet. In another high diplomatic quarter, rep resenting one of tho first powers of Europe, It was stated that as Russia and Japan both had largo forces of soldiers near China, It might bo oxpedlent for tho powers to ask them to each send an equal number of sol diers, This It was stated would create a bal- anco between Russia and Japan, relieving both of them from tho suspicion of dispatch ing a largo military force for ulterior emit-.

"Her majesty's minister at Pekln," he said, "has boen In constant communication with the Chinese goveriJmc:: .since tho at tack by Hoxors on peaceable converts and tho destruction of threo villages about nintty miles from Pekln on May 12. On May 18 Sir Claude McDonald reminded tho Tsung LI Yamen (Chlncso forolgn (illlco) of his unceasing warnings during tho last six months of tho danger of not taking adu quato measures to suppress the Boxers and an Imperial decree was subsequently Is'tied. On May 20 a meeting of tho diplomatic corps was held, r.t which a resolution win unanimously adopted calling on the Tsung LI Yamen to take r.ioro stringent measure. It was not then considered necessary to bring tho International guards to Pekln, but tho British rr.arlno guard nt Tien Tsln, which had bten under orders to lenvo, was detained tbcro and two Hrltlah ships were sent to Taku. "As no specific measures wero taken by the Tsung LI Yamen tho diplomatic corps met nsaln May 20 and decided, falling the receipt of a satisfactory reply from tho Tsung LI Yamen, to summon guards. This course was adopted May 2S a.id a British dotachmcnt of seventy-eight incu, with n machlno gun, waa forthwith tent to Pekln and 104 men v.ero .nt to Tien Tsln, whllo four moro British ships were brought to Taku. "Nows was then received of the murder of Mr. Robltisou aud the capture of Mr Normnn, who was suluequeutly murdered. "Sir Charles MacDonald continued until Juno 5 to urgontly Impress tho Toun LI Yamen with the necessity for taklug Instant and effective steps to punish tho murdrroia and restoring order, Informing them that her majesty's government held tho Chi ncse government respor.hlblo for tho rrlm Inal apathy which had brought about this disgraceful stato of affairs. "These remonstrances having tin effect lnd tho situation both at Pekln and In Its neighborhood becoming moro threatening, her majesty's government.

In concert with tho other powers, any steps In their discretion, which was left unfet tered, they might consider advisable for the protection of tho foreign legations nt Pekln nnd British subjects there, at Tien Tsln or In the neighborhood. "Sir C'lnudo MncDonnld, after a confer ence with tho Russlnn representative at Pekln, was empowered to support any Ohl tieso authority capablo of maintaining law nnd order, or any measure to this end, the Russian minister being similarly author ized. "In crnsequenco of further depredations of tho Iloxers Admiral Seymour called up threo moro ships and Juno 0, after con sultation with the foreign commanders, de cided to land a force and march on Pekln. "On June 10 ho narehod with 1.078 men, of which 050 wcro British. This force has since been Increased to 2,300 men, contain ing detachments from tho ships .of seven of the powers. The admiral had advanced thirty miles Juno 11, whn ho encountered the Boxers nnd killed thlrty-flvo of them. "Thu railway was much hroken up nnd only three miles were covered In the next twenty-four hours. "About 250 troops are being embarked at Hong Kong and tho Terrible. Is going to Taku. Tho Russians nro landing an addi tional detachment of 1,700 .men. "Sir Claude MacDonald reported Juno 11 that disorders were occurring at Pekln. "Nino British and twenty-five foreign ships aro now at Taku and complete accord prevails among tho powers In regard to tho action taken by Admiral Seymour." Mr. Rrodorlck concluded with denying that he had tho least Intention of Implying thnt Dreat Britain had any closer agreement with Russia than with any of tho other powers.
