■ New York, July 16.— A d sptach to
the Herald from Berlin mys: ,
A letter has ju s t bean published here
from Lieutenant von Loesqb, attach«
of the German legation at Pekin . It
is dated May 38, and shows tha
qgrly failure to lnorease the guards oi
tbe various legations . w ti -due to the
aottonof the late Baron von Kefeeler;
The letter states that after the first
attack by the Boxen on the Pekin
Hankow n ilro ad , a meeting of tbe
inietere was held to deoido win
additional troops ebould be sent for tc
protect tbe legations. Baron von Ket-
toler was very much opposed to tbii
being done, w hile thb French mlnletoi
was very mnoh ta favor of this course.
The latter wae, however, overruled by
hie oolleeguee. M. Pichon waa so hurt
by this refusal to eek for guards that
he wept.
Anothei factor that led the ministers
to teach thia unfortunate conclusion
was tbe desire of the diplom at!' corps
to take their usual summer holiday
and i t was feared that if additional
troops were sent for they would not ha
able to do so.
Later on, as the Boxer movement in
creased, a second conference of minis-
rs wee celled, at which it was re
solved to bring detachments of at least
80 men to guard each legation.
