WAHifmciTOX, De. 22 The ilat de
Mrtifient today made public the test of
, the joint note of the powers to China.
' Tim official ilatement followa;
Department of State, WaahlngUo, D.
C, lh-c. 22. The tollow ing Engliah er
, lion ii nnderatood to be in tubatantial
equivalence with the French text of the
note lo be addroiwd to the government
of China, ai agreed upon by the repre
entaiiveof the eo-oerating power at
iVkln D-rember 4, 1'JOO, and subae
(jtifiitly aniended Ix-fore tlgning.
During the monthi of May, June, Jaly
i and Augiiat of the correnl yearaeriouf
i dial urbance broke out In the northern
j province! of China in which atrociom
; crime nnparalled In hiatory and out
1 rage agilnat the law of nations, agaioat
j the law of humanity, and againat ciyili-
tatlon, were committed under particu
i larly txlioua ciicumitancea. The princi
j pal of theae crime were the following:
I Firm On the 2Uth of June hi excel-1
I lenry, Itaron Yon Ketteler, while oo lii
way to Tanng li Yamuo, in the perfor
mance of hi olhcial function, wa iinif
df red by aoldiera of the regular army,
! acting under orders of the chiefs.
I Second On the eame day the forcing
legations 'were attacked and beaieited.
The attacks continued without intermis
sion until the 14ih of Auguat, on which
date the arrival of the foreign troops put
an end to them. These attacks were
Diade by the regular trooe, who joined
the Boxers and who obeyed the order
of the court emanating from the Imperial
palace. At the same time the Chinese
government officially declared, by its rep
reaentatives abroad, that it guaranteed
Ibe security of the legations.
Third On the 11th of June Mr Sujiya
ma, chancellor of the legation uf Japan,
while in the dim-barge of an official mis
sion, was killed by renulars at the gates
of the city. In IVkin and in several
provinces foreigners were murdered,
tortured or attacked by Boxera and regu
lar troops, and such as escaped death
owed their salvation solely to their own
determined resistance. Their establish
ments were looted and destroyed.
Fourth Foreign cemeteries, at 1'ekin
especially, were desecrated, the graves
opened, and the remains scattered broad
cast. These occurences necessarily led the
foreign powers to dispatch their troopa
to China to the end of protecting the
lives of their representatives and that
national order be restored During the
march to Pekin the allied forces met
with resistance from the Chinese army
and bad to overcome it by force.
Inasmuch as China has renounced her
responsibility, expressed regret ard
evinced a desire to put to an end the sit
uation created by the aforesaid disturb
ances, the powers have determined to ac
cede to her request upon the irrevocable
conditions enumerated below, which
ther deem iudiepensible, to expiate the
crimes committed and to prevent their
recurrence :
I. (a) The dispatch to Berlin of an
extraordinary mission, headed by an im
perial prince, in older to express the re
grets of his majesty, the emperor of
China, and of the Chinese government
(or the assassination of his excellency,
the late Baron yon Ketteler, minister of
Germany,
(b) The erection on the spot of the
assassination of a commemorative monu
ment, befitting the rank of the deceased
bearing an inscription in the Latiu, Ger
man and Chinese languages, expressing
the regrets of the emperor of China for
the murder.
II (a) The severest punishment for
the persons designated in the imperial
decree of September 25, 1000, and for
those whom the representatives ot the
powers shall subsequently designate.
(b) The suspension for five years of
all official examinations in the cities
where foreigners have been massacred
or baye been subjected to cruel treat
ment. III Honorable reparation to be made
by the Chinese government to the Japan
ese government for the murder of Mr.
Sujiyama,
IV Anjexpiatory monument to be
erected by the Imperial Chinese govern
ment in every foreign or international
cemetery which has been desecrated or
in which the graves have been destroyed.
V The ' maintenance, under condi
tions to be determined by the powers, of
the interdiction 'against the importation
of arms, as well as of materials employed
exclusively for the manufacture of arms
and ammunition.
VI Equitable Indemnities for govern
ments, societies, companies and individ
uals, as well as for Chinese who, during
the late occorances, have sufTe.-ed In
person or In property In consequence of
their being in tiie service of foreigners.
China to adopt financial measures ac
ceptable to the powers for the purpose of
guaranteeing the payment of said indem
nities and interest.
VII The righ't for each power to
maintain a permanent guard for It lega
tion, and to put the diplomatic quarter
in a defensible condition, the Chineae
having no right to reside In that quarter.
VIII The destrnction of the forts
which might obstruct free communica
tion between Peklo and theses.
IX The right to a military occupa
tion of certain point, to be determined
by an understanding among the powers,
in order to maintain open communica
tion betweeu the capital and the sea.
X The Chinese government to cause
to be published during two years in all
the sub-prefectures an imperial decree
ts) embodying a perpetual prohibition,
under penalty of death, of a membership
in any anti-foreign society ;b) enumera
ting the punishment that shall be in
flicted on the guilty, together with the
auapension of all official examinations in
the cities where foreigners Lave been
subjected to cruel treatment, and (c)
furthermore, an imperial decree to be
lsaued and published throughout the
empire ordering that the Governors
General (Viceroys), and all provincial or
local o.Ttcials shsll be held responsible
for the maintenance of order within
their respective, jurisdictions, and that
in the event of renewed anti-foreign dis
turbances or any infractions of treaty oc
curring, and which shall not forthwith
he suppressed and the guilty persons
punished, they, the said officials, shall
be immediately removed and forever
disqualified from holding any officf or
honors.
XI The Chinese government to un
dertake to negotiate amendments to the
treaties of commerce and navigation con
sidered nseful for the foreign powers,
and upon other matter pertaining to
their commercial relations, with the ob
ject of facilitating tbem.
XII The Chinese government to de
termine in what manner to reform the
department of foreign affairs and to
modify the court ceremonials concern
ing the reception of foreign representa
tives, in the manner to be indicated by
the powers.
Until the Chinese government has
complied with the above conditions to
the satisfaction of the powers, the under
signed can hold out do expectation that
the occupation of Pekin and the
province of Chi Li by the allied forces
can be brought to a conclusion.
