United States Offers Mediation in China Crisis
President McKinley delivered the reply to Chinese Minister Wu, reiterating Hay’s principles. The United States will mediate only if China guarantees protection for foreigners in Pekin, refrains from hostile acts against allied forces, protects all foreigners, restores order, and offers reparation for damages. If guarantees hold, mediation will aim to avoid imperial division and favor cash indemnity over territorial claims.
