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

Mr. Rockhill to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Peking, March 20, 1901.

(Mr. Rockhill asks Mr. Hay’s opinion as to the questions involved in articles 8 and 9 of the Joint Note (Dismantling of forts and military occupation of the road to the sea). Should these questions be discussed by the military representatives of powers having troops in China alone, or also by those which may take part in the application of military measures provided for by said articles?)
