Chinese minister seeks armistice over American troop aid
Washington June 25 The Chinese minister Wu Tingfang urged an armistice to allow Li Hung Chang to reach Pekin and halt disorder while viceroys in the Yangtse-Kiang valley claim they can maintain order without foreign troops. President McKinley rejected any binding pause and said U S forces may be sent to protect officials and citizens where danger exists. Admiral Kempff’s despatches and Pekin’s status remained unclear as reports said Admiral Seymour was captured and ministers fled Pekin guarded by Chinese soldiers.
