Washington, Aug. 21. A message re ccived by the State Department from Minister Conger last night and made public in part today in regard to con ditions at Pekin and the responsibility of the Chinese government for the at tacks on the legations has not given the President and cabinet any clearer are at war with China or not. We are view of the Chinese situation which is i actually at war and yet we are techni Al ,. x , ... i cally at peace.

'tSSStSi in oruer mat tne government mignt be "Report operations, situation, require ments." These instructions are regarded by the administration as sumoently explicit and comprehensive to secure from General Chaffee a full nnI comnlete l-ennrt of ' i ii. v.ihiivc mi um inn, uipiomaiie ami ; military, as it exists today. General I i.haffee is regarded as a clear-headed. far-stM-ing otllcer, whose judgment has always leen the best and whoso views are never tarnished by prejudice. There never was a time in the history of nations when such peculiar relations existed between governments as exist today between the United States and China. The United States are actually, although not officially and technically, at war with a portion of the Chinese army, whether under imperial control or in revolts uoIkmI.v here knows. At the same time the Chinese minister in Washington maintains.friendly relations with this government, a condition strancely at variance with the hostili- tics that are going on at Pekin. While the government of China is recognized through the recognition of Minister Wu's ouicial status, this government has been unable to determine who and what con stitute the recognized authority of the Lniuese empire and where the seat: of government is situated. It does not know whether there is a bona tide Chi nese government. This uncertainty as to the imperial authority of the empire was emphasized today. A communication that casts, light on the peculiar relations of the United States and China was presented to the State Department today by Minister Wu. It, was from the viceroys of Nan kin aud Wu-Chaug.' who asked the United States to protect the persons and property of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, and. while expressing the in tention to safeguard foreigners in their provinces, indicated that they would do this only on-condition that no harm came to their imperial sovereigns. 1 he United Mates will, however. niake no promises of that character, and the two viceroys will probably be so informed. The bearing of the com munication from them on the peculiar relations or tne t.niteu Mates and China lies in the fact that these officials.-while recognizing that the Emperor and Em press Dowager are regarded as enemies of tbe powers, continue to consider them selves as representing a government with rwhich the L nited States are on friendly terms. 1 llepert from minister Conger Washington, Aug.' 21. The State De partment today received the first report from Minister Conger since relief of Pe kin and the end of the seige of the lega tions. Only a portion of the message was public, it is stated, the balance of tne dis patch so powerfully declares against the imperial Chinese government that it vottld not be policy to make ic public. The message states that on the night previous to the relief .of the city a des perate attempt was made to exterminate the little party defending the" legations. A large amount of very important evi dence declaring a state ot war to exist in China has been suppressed. .The por tion of the message given out is con tained in the following bulletin: The Department of State makes public the following extracts from a tebgram received last night from Minister Con ger: United States Legation, ; Pekin, (undated) Vin Chefoo, Aug. 20, received 0:50 p. m.)

The message has brought, and Missouri the reports are Also na il better feeling to government officials, : favorable, rust and premature opening and there is no longer any suspense. I heing general. In Texas the crop as a and there is no longer any suspense. I It was stated by a State Denartraent. official that the Conger report was hy no jueajis complete, and that a full reciLal i is expectd before long. The contents of the message received, however, are of such a nature as to have impressed forci bly upon the government the fact that the Chinese authorities were responsible for the shelling of the legations and the vicious attempts made to murder the in mates. The report has brought a new phase into the situation, as Mr. Conger's state ment announces clearly that a. state of war did exist in China and that the imperial troops, under the government, dim-ted all operations against the diplo matic representatives of the foreign powers in Pekin. and despite the pro test of the ministers continued to at tempt to murder them 'until beaten back by the arrival of the allied forces. No word is said about the Boxers as an element iu the siege, and it is not thought that the latter force had any hand in the persecution of the foreign ers within the city of Pekin, but con joined their operations to points outside the walls. immeuiRteiy rier tne receipt or tne Conger report it was brought to the White House and was carefully gone over at the cabinet conference- It is understood that the dispatch will carry much weight in the matter of a pend ing declaration of hostilities against the Celestial empire. The situation is the most absurd and complicated in the history of diplomacy, said an official of the State Department today. "We do not know whether we ; they would continue t" protect all for- riimers within the above provinces. These are the cam viceroys who de- jmanded a few days ago that the persons -! of the Empress Dowager and the Em- ; peror be held sacred and not harmed. Mr. n stated that these were the only messages he had received from China, but that he expected . something from Pekin within a few days. General" Greelv, chief of the signal corp. stated today that communication had been established between Pekin and " n. nrnn FUbui l muic through regularly in futnre. There will be n slicht delay in getting matter to Chefoo by dispatch boats, but a line is established from Taku to the capital. .DIAMOND STATE POLITICS r Hfpnpueiin Faettone Seem to Be Pro- v ojniington, uca., Aug. 21. riie regu- lar Republicans held .their State eonven- tion here this afternoon.
