Show t JAPAN WILL SETTLE IT Mikado Will lead in Suppressing Sup-pressing Revolt in China POWERS WILL COOPERATE There are Now 22000 Japaness Soldiers Sol-diers on Chinese International Forces will Cooperate and tho Advance Ad-vance on Peking will be Compensated Compen-sated for Work Japan Has Undertaken 1 Under-taken fora Common Cause Her Military Preparations are Extensive Exten-sive and Campaign vIl be Costly Washington July 7A cablegram was received at the Slate deparlmqnt this morning Cram ConsulGeneral 1 Goodnow at Shanghai dated July 7th saying that the legations l we it standing on the Srd last and that recent attacks of the Boxers had been slight They siicmcd disposed to adopt starvatIon methods The dispatch jhas revived hope in a measure that the legations or at least I some of them are still allvq In Peking Having survived at least two weeks I longer than was supposed to be possible possi-ble they being alive only five days I ago the unfortunate Ministers and their staffs and guards may be sUll 1 holding out In fact if the only thing they have to face Is starvation as Consul Con-sul Goodnow now states the officials I I I I believe there Is substantial ground for f hope that the horrible stories of the last few days from Shanghai If name lesscrimes and massacres committed I upon the l legalioners arc at least premature pre-mature EFFECT OF THE DISPATCH One certain effect of ConsulGeneral Goodnows dispatch will be to cause the officials here and without doubt the European Governments to redouble their exertions to push forward a force to Peking The main hope for speedy I action Is still in Japan According to the Japanese legation here which has late advices from Toklo 212000 Japanese Japa-nese soldiers are now on Chinese soil If this report true then the Japanese Government has accomplished more than was expected and the officials see no reason why the advance on Peking should not begin immediately INTERNATIONAL FORCE WILL COOPERATE CO-OPERATE I is i seen that Japan is not expected to make this campaign single handed The International forces at Taku and Tien Tsln will cooperate to the utmost with the Japanese army corps In the movement on Peking What form that cooperation shall take is not known Such details will be left to the commanders In the field JAPAN TO COMPENSATED I Is said that Japan is to be compensated com-pensated for the work she Is about to undertake In the common cause Her military preparations are very extensive exten-sive and the campaign is certain to involve heavy cost I wduld be unJust un-just to expect Japan to meet this her Helf She has no missionaries In China and consequently is I perhaps less Interested Inter-ested selfishly than any of the powers In the terrible happenings in ShanTung Shan-Tung and Peking 1 is conjectured Unit this question of compensation after all what has caused the apparent appar-ent delay In the resumption of the campaign cam-paign against Peking but it Is be lieved that this has now been adjusted and operations will progress rapidly yui BlS MONEY INDEMNITY It the powers have agreed upon the I form Japans indemnity Is to assume the facts cannot be elicited here The I impression I however Is that there will be a money Indemnity the belief be ing l based on the ffct that such is the only form of indemnity so far suggested sug-gested that would l Je the least likely to arouse International Jealousies I I Either Chlna ileolf or the power col lectively would have to provide for the tfuyinenr i ofj this indemnity though even In the first case it is probable that the t pqwees contribution would be In I tho nature of a loan and In the end China would be obliged to make good tho advance through some forms of taxation I I o OFFICIAL INFORMATION The State department has not yet heard officially from the Russian Government Gov-ernment as to Japans proposition to supply the major portion of the force required for the Pekingcampaign but It bus not the least doubt that Russia makes no objection In fact the department de-partment has gathered that all the Tjju ropcun Governments have taken a similar simi-lar 1 view of the Japanese propositions and It If disposed to feel some pride in the fact that tho advances made In the first place 1 by tho Government of the United States have brought about this state of affairs CHINJQSE MINISTER ANXIOUS No one in Washington Is mo anxious to hear of the safety of the foreign legations le-gations In Peking than Mr Wu the Chinese Minister lie carefully reads every word of Chinese news that appears ap-pears In the papers and eagerly auks all the reporters who call upon him lor the latest developments In the situation situ-ation He also keeps in close touch with the officials in Washington and I makes periodical visits to the State department de-partment lo ascertain ir any Intelligence Intelli-gence has come to hand Ills Interest In what Is transpiring is one of tho keenest character as he realizes tho grave danger l with which his country hI threatened I MR WU STILL HOPEFUL Mr Uru while apprehensive of what may have happened as a result I of the existing disturbances In Peking and other parts of northern China still clings to tho hope that thc reports which have come of thc sacking of tho I legations and the murder of the Ministers I Minis-ters have been exaggerated and that when the truth becomes known affairs will not beEn the sorry plight In which they are now represented to be At the same time he has no positive Information Informa-tion on which to base his hopes resting them mainly on the belief that whoever who-ever may now be at the head of the Government Gov-ernment will be able to keci I tho unruly un-ruly elements In hand and precnt any i wholesale murder of foreigners BELIEVES THEY CAN HOLD OUT I the Ministers are in the British leI le-I gallon he believes they can hold out for some time that unless they have exhausted their supplies of provisions and ammunition a limited number un del favorable circumstances for a time ho says might hold out against 0 force of Chinese ten times as large Most of the Chinese Imperial troops he j < uys arc loyal to the Government and 1 ho takes comfort In ihp hope that they i will uphold In Its efforts to put down the revoiters As already slated the Minister does I not believe there will be any demonstrations demon-strations against foreigners In the slratons afa1nst central cen-tral and southern orovinccs of the empire em-pire Any indications of that character charac-ter he feels will promptly be put down various by the
