CIPHER DISPATCH NOW DOUBTED
British Government Culls Attention to
Several Suspicious C'lrcumataiices U.
8. UofuseB to Make Conger's Safe Ite-
turn Mutter for Diplomatic Unrtcr.
WASHINGTON , July 28 Unless
some authentic assurance "as to the
condition of the Americans in Pekin
reaches the state department within a
day or two the administration is like
ly to abandon whatever faith it has
manifested thus far in the truthfulness
of Chinese information. Une Chinese
minister is confident that within that
time there will be news from Pekin of
a character to satisfy the most skep
tical as to its accuracy , and he is also
confident that this will be good news
from the American point of view. ' *
The state department is still recep
tive , though looking with growing
coldness on the numerous edicts and
telegrams which are coming from
China , all without bringing any news.
The contributions of the day were from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
and Consul Fowler at Che Foo. So
much of their messages as was given
out for publication related to the wel
fare of certain missionaries who have
been made the subject of inquiry by
relatives in this country. The cables
mangled these messages and there is
reason to doubt the value of the information
mation attempted to be conveyed
through them.
Mr. Goodnow also had something to
say about the political situation and
It is believed that that part of his mes
sage was not of an encouraging char
acter. At any rate , it was withheld
from the press , probably because the
government did not deem it prudent
to give it the stamp of apparent ap
proval.
Ever since the receipt at Tien Tsin
of the autograph message from Minis
ter Conger , dated Pekin , July 4 , state
department officials have had grave
doubts as to the authenticity of the
cipher message attributed to him ,
dated Pekin , July IS. There have been
many little side lights on this message
that afford ground for suspicion , end
now the British authorities have added
their quota to the growing distrust
' 1 of things Chinese. It scorns that Mr.
Warren , at present acting as British
consul at Shanghai , has been told by
Sheng , the famous Chinese director of
posts and telegraphs , that Yuan , the
governor of Shan Tung , told him
( Shcng ) that a message had passed
through to the United States from Mr.
Conger on the 18th of July telling of
the condition at the British legation.
This cipher dispatch was "faked" by
Chinese officials.
It is pointed out at the state de
partment , however , that there are
plausable explanations of this curious
fact which tend to show the authentici
ty of the cipher dispatch. Secretary
Hay cabled to Mr. Conger that he
might have implicit faith in the person
who brought the dispatch to him. Mr.
Conger , therefore , had a right to trust
the man , and possibly he told him in
a general way the contents of the dis
patch in case the messenger should
be obliged to detroy it to insure his
own safety. However that may be , the
British government has thought Mr.
Warren's report worth tUe attention
of our government.
The state department officials do netlike
like the European criticism more or
less attributing to our government a
lack of wholc-heartedness in the effort
to get to Pekin. They point to what
the American troops and marines have
already done , to the loss of life and
limbs suffered by them and to the re
peated urgings of the American offi
cials at every point looking to a for
ward movement at Pekin.

Improve the Service.
WASHINGTON , July 27. Postmas
ter General Emory Smith haa issued

mendations made by the rural free

been in session , here several days.
The order , which applies to all rural
free delivery service in the country ,

First It is ordered that , beginning

delivered en route as named in sec
tion 3 , will be cancelled by them and
reported to the postmaster , who will
derive the benefit of the cancellation
if the office is fourth-class.
Fifth That until suitable rubber
cancelling stamps can be supplied by
the department , free delivery carriers
will cancel the stamps'with the indel
ible pencils furnished them for use in
registered letters.
STILL MATTER Of SURMISE.
As to Date of Probable Advance of Allies
on Pekin.
WASHINGTON , July 27. It is said
tonight that the cablegram received by
the navy department-today from Ad
miral Remey contained no statement
as to when the forward movement of
the allied armies on Pekin was to be
made. In a measure this was a dis
appointment to the officials , who dread
delay in a united advance for the relief
of the legationers. Admiral Remey
has just been on a visit to Tien Tsin ,
where he went to make an examina
tion into the conditions existing there
and , presumably , to gather what information
mation he could as to the future inten
sions of the allies. For this reason it
was expected that he would be able to
give some indication of the probable
time the forward movement on Pekin
would begin.
According to the naval authorities ,
Admiral Remey's dispatch gave no in
formation of the present strength of
the foreign troops now ready to begin
the campaign , although it is not
thought here that they are numerous
enough to force their way to the Chi
nese capital and successfully encounter
the opposition which it is feared will
be met on the way there.

TOKIO , July 24. A message receiv

guards on July 13 and that thereupon
General Yung Lu petitioned the tlironi ,
to employ the courier as a messen
ger to communicate with the minis
ters. This was carried out and a re
ply was received that the ministers
were well and unanimous in favoring
the restoration of peace.
Conflagration at Nome.
SEATTLE , Wash. , July 27 A spe
cial to the Times says :
"Cape Nome was treated to a great
conflagration early in this month.
Miles and miles of tundra were burned
over and many native homes de
stroyed.
"The fire began close to the eastern
suburbs of Nome and swept the coun
try from the outer edge of the sand
beach to the foot of the hills and far
below Cape Nome , so that the surface
looks like a vast prairie that has been
burned over. "

Latest Message From Conger Throws no
Light on the Situation.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS MYSTIFIED
Bcason for Believing Two Communica
tions Are About of Sumo Date 'lair
Reiterates Safety of 1'orclgncrs
China's Appeals for Mediation.
WASHINGTON , July 26. The re
ceipt at Tien Tsin of an undoubtedly
genuine and autographic message from
Minister Conger has done nothing to
dissipate the doubt as to the situa
tion at Pekin. The message , which
was forwarded by the naval officers at
Tien sin , Taku and Ghee Fee , has in
deed served only to deepen the mys
tery. The message comes from Cap
tain Charles M. Thomas , commander
of the Brooklyn , and is as follows :
"GHEE FOO , Jury 24. Navigation
Bureau , Washington : Written mes
sage , signed Conger , dated July 4 , re
ceived Tien Tsin , 21st , says : 'Been be
sieged two weeks British legation.
Grave danger general massacre by Chi
nese soldiers , who are shelling legation
daily. Relief soon if at all. City with
out government except by Chinese
army. Determined massacre all for
eigners Peklu. Entry relief forces into
city probably be hotly contested. '
"THOMAS. "
The official conclusion remains un
changed , of course , but it is admitted
that a careful scrutiny of the auto
graph message in comparison with the
famous cipher message from Minister
Conger admits of the belief that the
two" messages were written by Mr.
Conger at about the same time. The
situation at the British legation is rep
resented to be the same in each case ,
and as Mr. Conger declares that relief
must come quickly , if at all , there is
ground for the supposition that condi
tions could not long have remained un
changed in such a crisis. The assump
tion that this reasoning is correct in
volves the further conclusion that Mr.
Conger's cipher message , if genuine ,
was redated as of the 18th of July , two
weeks later than the date of actual
writing and , of course , if redated at
all , that was done by Chinese officials.
On the other hand , and in support
of the state department position , came
today a message from another of the
great Chinese viceroys , Tak , at Canton ,
he who took charge after Li Hung
Chang's departure. This also affirmed
solemnly the safety of the legationers
and coming from so many different
sources and from such important Chi
nese officials , these dispatches do claim
attention. A pessimistic view of them ,
however , attributes to them all a com
mon origin , namely , some one high
Chinese personage at Pekin. it is noted
that Talc's assurance brings the minis
ters one day further towards ultimate
rescue than has any preceding mes
sage , the fact that it allows only three
days to cover the transmission over
the great distance between PeKin and
Canton has attracted attention here
and appears to demand explanation if
the message is to be accepted as of
genuine origin.
"It was not known to the state de
partment until the publication of the
fact in the news dispatches that the
French government also had been ad
dressed by the Chinese government in
the effort to secure mediation. It now
appears that still other powers were
addressed in a similar strain. It is
known that Great Britain and Ger
many and probably Russia have re
ceived such message. The language is
not the same , but the animating idea
is.

came over the wires from Captain

WILLING TO ACT f OR PEACE.
President Ready to Act for China if
Stated Conditions Are Met.
WASHINGTON , July 25 'lue fol
lowing letter from the president of
the United States to the emperor of
China was made public by the State
department yesterday. It is in an
swer to a cablegram received by Min
ister Wu on July 20 , 1900 , from the
taotai of Shanghai , dated July 19 , 1900.
It was at once communicated to the
president at Canton , 0. , and the fol
lowing is his reply :
"The president of the United States
to the emperor of China , Greeting : I
have received your majesty's message
of the 19th of July , and am glad to
know that your majesty recognizes the
fact that the government of the Unit
ed States desire of China nothing but
what is just and equitable. The pur
pose for which we landed troops in
China was the rescue of our legation
from grave danger and the protection
of the lives and property of Amer
icans who were sojourning in China in
the enjoyment of rights allowed them
by treaty and international law. The
same purposes are publicly declared by
all the powers which have landsd mili
tary forces in your majesty's empire.
" 1. I am to infer from your majes
ty's letter that the malefactors who
have disturbed the peace of China , who
have murdered the minister of Ger-
matty and a member of the Japanese
legation , and who now hold besieged
in Pokin those foreign diplomatists
who still survive , have not only not
received any favor or encouragement
from your majesty , but are actually in
rebellion against the imperial author
ity. If this be the case , I most sol
emnly urge upon your majesty's gov
ernment to give public assurance
whether the foreign ministers are
alive , and , if so , in what condition.
" 2. To put the diplomatic repre
sentatives of the powers in immediate
and free communication with their re
spective governments and to remove
all danger to their lives and liberty.
" 3. To place the imperial authori
ties of China in communication with
the relief expedition , that cooperation
tion may be secured between them for
the liberation of the legationers , the
protection of foreigners and the restor
ation 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 tne powers to an amicable
settlement of all the questions arising
out of the recent troubles and the
friendly good offices of this govern
ment will , with the assent of the
other powers , be cheerfully placed at
your majesty's disposition for that
purpose. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
