Mr. Herdliska to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Vienna, September 8, 1900.

(Mr. Herdliska refers to Mr. Adee’s telegram of August 29 respecting withdrawal of foreign contingents from Pekin and reports that the foreign office entertains well-founded hope that agreement will be arrived at between cooperating powers as to date thereof, whereby this question will find satisfactory solution. He adds that the Austrian charge had left Pekin and arrived at Taku at time of the communication of Mr. Hay’s telegram.)
