Reservation by America Note Not an Ultimatum in China Crisis
The New York Times reports Secretary Hay received a cable from Minister Conger in Peking. Conger signed the foreign ministers’ agreement with a written explanatory statement. The United States disapproves of much in the agreement but will not block settlement or enforce arms provisions. The note marks a tentative, harmonious assent amid tense negotiations over China. In St Petersburg the Novoye Vremya criticizes the joint note as too long and says peace will not come easily. London reports Morrison noting Li Hung Chang’s frail condition and Prince Ching’s potential role in redeeming the note.
