Y.HIKTB. JHT II Gunboat Wheeling- Prooeoded to Taku. CONCORD WILL RELIEVE HER "J"S-M MtteTV - Stlsefiaarto., etH. ..- of ih. Troubla la Far Inland. Washington, Maroh 89. The secre tary of tho navy has received a cable gram from Admiial Watson stating that tho gunboat Wheeling had proceed ed to Taku, where she will be relieved by tho Concord about May 10, and will go as usual in the summer to Unalaska, on tho Alaskan coast. Tho stato department is in a qnandry to dovlso moans to rendor offoctlve pro tection to tho American missionaries at Shan Tung. Tho difficulty lies in the fact that tho missionaries have in most cases gono as far as 200 mile inland, and aro thus beyond reach of any aid that can bo rendered from a warship. Mr. Conger's advices show that the situation is further complicated by the fact that tho location of the present troublo is so far Inland as to make it difficulty to dotermino whothor or not tho "Boxors" aro operating in Shan Tung or across tho bordor in Po Chi Li province If tho threatened mission aries aro in Westoru Shan Tung, thon a further question arises as to who is chargoablo with thoir protection, Chlua or Gormany. Tho oxact oxiont of tho Gorman sphoro of Influence is not defi nitely known horo. It Is 200 milos from Kiao Cbou, tho Gorman seaport, to tho western bordor of Shan Tung, but,, Inasmuch as tho Germans havo claimed oxoluslvo control of railroad franchises and like consocssions throughout the whole province, it is presumed they have assumed military responsibility as well. At any rate, the Chinese government has been de tered from attempting to exercise mili tary authority in that Motion by the attitude of the German authorities, and that is the reason of the inability of the Peking government to meet Mr. Conger's demand for punitory taeasnies against the "Boxers."
