Acting Secretary of State Adee reports that John Fowler, the Consul of Chefoo, China, has been informed that the Chinese government has withdrawn all of their war vessels from Chefoo because they cannot enforce neutrality. Thus it would appear that “both belligerents” can infer that military operations can be conducted there. Adee does not believe any further instruction is required to Fowler, and he would like both Fowler and John Goodnow, the Consul of Shanghai, to be removed from any association with larger international implications.
