Chinese minister this morning received a cipher cable despatch cotntaning over 100 words f rom' Mimistter Conger, at Pekin ad dressed' to the state department. It was in the American code throughout. The eableeram was deciphered at the state department; after considerable "time, owing to is . length. The text was forwarded to the oresddent. It is substantially a duplicate message of jtihat from M. Pichon, the French envoy ini Pekin, which was published! this manning, and indicates that the eighit foreign ministers at the Chinese cap! tal had agreed to setad a duplicate message to their several governments. The-text of Conger's despatch is as 'fallows: "Tsumg II yameni staites to diplomat ic body that various, foreign govern ments repeatedly asked through respec tive Chinese ministers that we immedi- fltely depart 'from Pekin under suitable eaoort. Yamemi asks us to fix date tor ! departure and to make' necessary ar irangements to depart.

It is said at the state department that under present conditions Minister Conger and the other Americans in Pekin will not be advised to leave the Chinese capital with a Chinese escort, as all of the ministers seem to agree that such a departure would be very dangerous. LI TO NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE, London, Aug." 10. An edict emanat ing from Pekin, and authorizing Li Hung Chang to negotiate with the powers for peace has, it is reported from Shanghai, under yesterday's date, been received there. The correspond ents at Yokohoma again send the statement that a Russo-Japanese force is moving on Pekin from the north. The movements and numbers of this force are, it is further asserted, kept secret, in order to prevent the facts from reaching Pekin. The French consul' at Shanghai says three thous and Annamite troops will arrive there next week for the protection of the French settlementT The Chinese merchants of Shanghai have petitioned the foreign consuls there to prevent the landing of troops, declaring that it will create a panic among the 'Chinese. jA Peng Heng, the former governor of Shantung, per sonally commanded 15,000 Chinese at Yang Tsun. The' Chinese , officials at Shanghai say seventeen pirates and brigands were ' beheaded at Canton "August 8.. ANSWER TO CONGER. Washington, Aug. 10.

ANOTHER MESSAGE TO CONGER. Washiisigton, Aug. 10 . 'Beyond sending the cipher message to Conger the . gov ernment took more action1 today af fecting the diplomatic aspects of the Chinese question.
