(Translation.) Imperial German Embassy. Washington, R*ix. li, 1800,—Mr. Secretary: By di rection of tho Imperial Chancellor 1 have the honor to respectfully commu t ale lo your excellency the following: The government of His Majesty the Km t'ror considers as a preliminary condition P'r entering Into diplomatic negotiations with lha Chinese government a surrender ef such persons os are determined upon as g the first and real perpetrators of 1 • crimes committed In Pekin against In -1,1 rational law. The number of perpetra who served as tools Is 100 great; a " “sale execution would be averse to ' • ivdlxed conscience. Furthermore, clr lances would not allow that even the t ■ of leaders rouid be completely ftaltied. But She few among them " gtillt ts notorious aliould he sur red nd punished. The re-pesenta ’ of the Powers in Pektn will be In a '>n to make thla Investigation fully. ' imber of those punished Is of less Hi; - anr* than their character a* prlncl t-l -a .gators and leaders. The govern ' ' of Hla Majesty the Emperor believes '' it ran depend In this matter upon Ahe rrenee of all the cabinets, for. tndlf *nee towards rha Idea of a Just expla ' n would be equivalent eo Indifference toward, a rwpetttion of the crime.

I—(Acting Bnetn-y Hill to the Impe rial German Charge l Affaires > Department of Stale. Washington. Sept. 21, 1900 Sir: In response to your Inquiry of the 18th Instant as lo the attitude of the govern ment of the United State* in regard lo the exemplary punishment of the nota ble leaders In tho crimes committed Ip Pekin against Intel national law. I have the honor to make the following state ment: The government of the United Stales has from the ousel proclaimed Its pur pose to hold to the uttermost accounta bility the responsible uushors of any wrongs done In China to clttxens of the United States and their Interests, as was staled in the government's circular com munication to the powers of July 3 last. These wrongs have been committed not aiotie tn Pekin, hut in many parts of the empire, and their pun ishment I* believed to he an essentia! el ement of any effective settlement which shall prevent a recurrence of such out rages and bring aliout |>ern>.nent safety and p. i • In China. It is thought, how ever, that no punitive measures can I*o so effective by way of reparation for wrongs suff, red and as deterrent examples for the future as the degradation and punishment of the responsible authors by the supreme Imperial authority Itself, and it stems only Just lo China that she should tat af forded In the first instance an opportunity to do this and thus rrhatAlltate herself betore the world. Believing thus, and without abating In any wise its deliberate purpose to ns. t the fullest accountability from the responsible author of the wrongs w have suffered In China, the government of the United State* la not disposed, os a preliminary condition to entering Into diplomatic m gotlatlon with the Chinese-government, to Join In a de mand that said government surrender to the Powers such persons us, according to the determination of the Powers tjicm selvi-s. may l*e held to be Ihe rtrst an,! real perpetrator* of these wrongs. On the other hand, this government Is disposed to hold that the punishment of the high, responsible authors of these wrongs, not only In Pekin, but throughout China. Is essentially a condition to be embraced and provided for In the negotiation* for a Bnal settlement. It ts the purpose of this gov ernment at the earliest practicable mo ment. to name It* plenipotentiaries for negotiating a settlement with China, end in the meantime to authorise Us minister in i’ekiu to enter forthwith Into confer erne with the duly authorized represent atives of the Chinese government with a view- to bringing about a preliminary agreement whereby the full exercise of the Imperial power for the preservation of order and the protection of foreign life and properly throughout China, pending llnai nesoll.itions with the Powers, shall be assured. Accept, sir, the renewed assurance, of iny highest consideration. David J Hlil. Acting Secretary. Appointment of Prises t hltin.
