The lawless uprising in that ancient Empire against foreigners, which for the time being overthrew the power of the Imperial Government, exposed to danger the lives of the diplomatic representatives of foreign nations at Pekin, and brought about the murder of one of them. Uniting with other governments, President McKinley, without express Congressional authority, ordered the land and naval forces of the United States into a campaign to rescue the foreign legations which were besieged in Pekin.",

The earthquake of 7 March (No. 184), whose epicentre was located in the region of Hsing-t'ai, about 400 km south-west of Pekin, probably caused extensive damage since the magnitude was 7 and the focus shallow. The New China agency reported 'various degrees of damage' in about thirty communes. The shock of 22 March (No. 185) was even more violent; its epicentre was near that of the previous shock, and it was felt over a wide area, including Pekin, 300 km away.",

The lawless uprising in that ancient Empire against foreigners, which for the time being overthrew the power of the Imperial Government, exposed to danger the lives of the diplomatic representatives of foreign nations at Pekin, and brought about the murder of one of them. Uniting with other governments, President McKinley, without express Congressional authority, ordered the land and naval forces of the United States into a campaign to rescue the foreign legations which were besieged in Pekin.",

The earthquake of 7 March (No. 184), whose epicentre was located in the region of Hsing-t'ai, about 400 km south-west of Pekin, probably caused extensive damage since the magnitude was 7 and the focus shallow. The New China agency reported 'various degrees of damage' in about thirty communes. The shock of 22 March (No. 185) was even more violent; its epicentre was near that of the previous shock, and it was felt over a wide area, including Pekin, 300 km away.",
