VIII Protect Legation.

S,snyeroN. The Unfyed States
.yv has landed marines in China. A
snatch was received at the navy de-
.rtment Saturday stating that the
,ntsin of the Boston had landed his
.,riue guard at Tien Tsin.
Il seems that the marines were
oded not because of any information
riots or attacks upon American mis-
oparies, but solely to act as guard
h The United States legation at Pc,
Fn.
The Boston was dispatched to the
month of the Pell Ho river several
rseks ago at the instance of the Unit
d States minister to provide a guard,
the other powers had adopted the
|ane method, and he did not care to
exceptional, without one. The
tsamer worked her way up the river
b her present position. 1t is believed
/ the navy department that marines
kll be sent forward from that point in
,unches or small river boats.
Capt. Frank Wildes, the commander
the Boston, who reported the land
Big to the navy department by cable,
hid not state how many men were in
HE guard, but the force is not be-
beyed to exceed two dozen men.
The presence of these foreign
kuards is not welcome to the Chinese
koyernment. When the landing was
trst proposed it's representative sought
b dissuade the United States govern
Hent from inflicting this humiliation
fpOn it.
The effect was to cause suspension
b The execution of the purpose, but
y has been already stated, most of
hs European legations have provided
lsnselves with guards, and the
Chinese having become reconciled to
heu presence, no longer object in our
base.
AdyiNes that reached the state de-
psrtment Do not indicate any imme-
1iate outbreak in China. But the re-
dictionary policy of the Empress
DoTger has caused very uneasy
fsehng and may afford one or more OF
ihe European powers, who have been
aehVe in eastern affairs, pretext for
naking a coup with results affecting
The interests of the United States.
