Chinese minister in London sees little friction at foreign office
Lob Fang the Chinese minister in London paid a Sunday call at the foreign office. Sir Halliday Macartney, secretary of the Chinese legation, said communications with Peking were nearly renewed and that messages from Sir Claude MacDonald and others might arrive soon. He spoke of efforts to resolve the trouble and denied reports of perfidy by Li Hong Chang. He warned of possible outbreaks in the southern provinces but said Europeans would be safe in treaty ports. The interview suggested a near solution to the great mystery, though many doubt the apparent dispatches and edicts. The American view was praised for its common sense as the world weighed the situation amid wires cut by rebels.
