Foreign Relations of the United States, 1901, Appendix, Affairs in China, Report of William W. Rockhill, Late Commissioner to China, with Accompanying Documents

Mr. Conger to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Peking, December 30, 1900.

(Mr. Conger reports that the Chinese plenipotentiaries have notified the ministers that the Emperor decrees acceptance of the demands of the powers as a whole and requests further conference. The plenipotentiaries also ask that military excursions in the interior cease. Mr. Conger thinks they should cease at once.)
