Diplomat John Gardiner Coolidge confirms the Department of State’s telegram of January 6 regarding the Chinese government’s cancellation of agreements with the American China Development Company, and details the actions he took in response to the message. Coolidge observes that Zhang Zhidong seems to have been placed in control over the situation, but is no less hostile than the previous official. He advises that a representative of the American China Development Company be sent to argue their case and explain past misunderstandings.
