an agreement. They could not, however,

United States Has Sent a Warning to
Shanghai, Aug. 15. -Alarm regarding
the impending financial crisis iu conse-
quence of the Chinese boycott of Am-
erican goods is increasing.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that President 110 see -

warn the Chinese Government that the
United States Government will insist
on the full observance of article 15 of
the Tientsin treaty of 1858.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.-Artiole
15 of the Tientsin treaty provides that
"At each of the ports open to commerce,
citizens of tbe United States shall be
permitted to import from abroad and
sell, purebase and export all merchan-
dise, of which the importation or ex-
portation is not prohibited by the laws
of the empire,"
The State Department some days ago
directed the - attention of ealiirsister
Rockhill to this particular article ie
view of the published reports that

Lo interfere with the landing of .kmer-

It is the opinion of the State Depart-
ment that any such act would be in
violation of article 15, and Minister
Roekhill was instructed to call the
attention of the Chinese Governn,da
to these reports and the treaty with
a view of preventing any interference
