has received a report from the ..French
minister at Pekin saying that China
has given the most complete apology
and reparation for the attack of Chi
nese soldiers at Pekin upon Captain
Laribe, of the French legation guard,
on Monday last. The captain was in
sulted and struck with a stick, but be
was not seriouely hurt. Tho French
minister energetically protested to tho
general commanding the Chinese, who
wrote the minister an abject apology
while the Chinese captain commanding
the assaulting soldiers made a personal
apology to Captam Laribe.
The Chinese general condemned the
five ringleaders to punishment only one
degree short of death. Owing to" the
action of the general, the officials here
do not consider that this incident and
the assault on the Italian soldiers Sep
