Mr. Jackson, chargé d’affaires to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Mr. Jackson reports that Count von Bülow informs him that, with reference to a telegram similar to that received by the President, and purporting to be from the Emperor of China to the German Emperor, submitted by the Chinese legation here, the foreign office, having no power of proving the authenticity of the telegram, can not attach any importance to it unless its genuineness shall be confirmed by the German legation at Pekin or some diplomatic representative there.)
