Peace talks falter as Chinese court faces crisis
London dispatch reports a possible spring expedition to Sian Fu due to stalled negotiations with Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang absent from the court. Emperor Kuang Su is seen as helpless without strong advisers, while risk of further resistance could push allies toward renewed war. Public health fears grow as smallpox spreads and improper burial and garbage removal threaten a major epidemic in Peking with troops nearby. US Minister Conger says negotiations may soon begin for a preliminary settlement, but the final outcome remains uncertain as China’s integrity and trade may hinge on concessions demanded by the powers. The Chinese court is unlikely to return to Peking before next spring.
