Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1895, Part I

Mr. Olney to Mr. Denby.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 20, 1895.

Wire the following to our consul at Tientsin: “Carry out at once previous instructions. Insist upon sufficient escort to overcome all real as well as apprehended dangers. Overland route more fatiguing, but demonstration, which China undoubtedly does not favor, is of the utmost importance to us.”

Olney
