A few minutes later Minister Wu ap
I wared at the Suite Department with
a telegram from Taotai Sluing, dated
the HUt li of July, which had leen re
ceived by Minister Wu at SiSO o'clock
thl morning, reading as follows
"Your telegram was forwarded and,

Mr. Conger's cablegram is as fol
lows: "In .British' legation. Under cou
tluued shot and shell from Chinese
troops. Quick relief only cau prevent
genet al ma.saere." i. .
The utssage is not -dated, but it is
understood was sent from Pekui on

State DcjKirtment as gfiiuiue. inas
much as forgeries seem, uuder the cir

The Cabinet 'council lwt ween Secre

they rould easily select a non-committal
dispatch to serve the required
purpose. It I supposed, that Conger
omitted to destroy the cipher code, and
that this la now In the possesfclon of
the Chinese. In which event the selec
tion of a suitable dispatch would not
be difficult. It is argued that the 'dis
patch, if It were a genuine reply to
the inquiry of the American Govern
ment, would go more Into details. A
slight ray of hone is admitted in the
fact that Mr. and Mrs. Conger are
known to have been on very friendly
terms with the Empress .Dowager, but
the universal opinion here Is that. If
the dispatch is genuine, the date is
falsified. The bare possibility that
the news of the massacre was prema
turn however.-has had its effect, and
the Government has Issued a semi-of
ficial disclalmor of the responsibility
for the proposed memorial service in
St Paul's Cathedral, while) the.news-paiK-rs
are calling for a postponement
of the service until all doubts are set
at rest. i ' V - v -

the murder of Von Kettler was a
grievous offense. The ".Mikado added
