CHAOS IN CHINA
ATTACKS OnToREIGNERS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) PEKIN, April 28. A meeting was convened here under the auspices of certain Chinese leaders to discuss the arrest of Chinese soldiers for assaulting foreigners within the legation quarter. It demanded the recall of the British Minister. Conditions in China continue extremely bad. The Treasury is empty, and the revenues insignificant and until the Boxer indemnity dispute with France is settled, there is little prospect of an improvement. The British, French and Japanese Ambassadors are conferring on the subject of defaulted afid unsecured debts, which, along with the hostility shown to foreigners, especially in, the interior provinces, where foreign firms are removing thejr concessions, may cause the Diplomats to ask for intervention. The China Inland Mission has closed several stations owing to soldiers’ and bandits’ raids. A daring outrage occurred at Chau King, 200 yards, from British-American gunboat moorings, when six of the Standard Oil Company’s junks, were attacked and robbed. Consulate messengers have been insulted on several occasions.
