Mr. Denby, chargé, to Mr. Gresham.

[Telegram.]

I have received your cipher telegram, 29th. The U. S. minister to Japan telegraphs that Japanese Government assures two Japanese are not spies. Japanese Government requests China to take no action until Minister Denby arrives. Will you authorize me to make the proposition to the Chinese Government, or do you order immediate unconditional surrender to Chinese Governments
