The bravery of Tommy Hantz, a If

While making his way through the
smoke to a place Of safety he remem-
bered that twenty men were in a dis

bly, be quite surrounded by smoke be-
fore they realized their danger.
Turning back he managed, after great
effort, to reach and warn them. He
was just in time. The only passage to

MEN-OF- WAR FOR CHINA
Dewey to Send Two of His
WarShipS to Overawe
the Chinese.
BALTIMORE AND PETREL.
Government Acting Promptly and
VIII Protect Americans Before
Lives Are Sacrificed.

khips Will Get as Near to PelSin as Posi-
bile and Then Land Marines to March to
the Capital-A Foreign Fleet Is Assemb-
ling About Tientsin-Great Excitement
Prevails.
Washington, D. c., Oct 5.-Admiral
Dewey has been ordered to send the
cruiser Baltimore and the gunboat Pet
Iel to Chinese waters.
This action was taken by Secretary
Long and upon Minister Conger's re-
port cabled to the State Department
OF rioting in Pekin, putting American
lives and property in jeopardy. He an
nounced, too, that a foreign feet is as
sembling about Tientsin, and that
some Ministers have ordered marines
10 Picking to guard their legations.
This Government is acting promptly
and will afford protection to Amerl-
cans without waiting for lives to be
sacrificed.
The impression has prevailed that
the situation is lar more serious than
the public have been given to under
stand, and this was made stronger by
China In speaking of the matter
however, Secretary Long said the de-
partment is only pursuing the usual
course in such cases. No change is to
be taken.
Both men-of-war will go up the Pei
ho to Tientsin if they can, and from
there the Petrol will proceed as close
to Picking as possible. 1t is feared,
however. that the Baltimore will not
be able to pass beyond the Taku forts
at the mouth of the river. Marines
will be landed to protect American
citizens. They will have to march to
Picking from the nearest point that can
be reached by the Petrol.
Tientsin is thirty miles from the Vel
low Sea and seventy from Picking.
Some people grew apprehensive re-
garding Admiral Dewey's position be-
cause of the detaching of two of his
vessels. but naval officers dissipated
the fear by pointing out that the Adj
miral now has in Manila Bay two pow
erful monitors which he did not have
when he destroyed Montojo's fleet
The work before Admiral Dewey al
this time he can successfully accom-
plish with the vessels remaining at
Manila.
1t is regretted at the department
that there is no gunbOat Of the Helena
class in Asiatic waters, which coulc
sail up the river to Tientsin and be-
yond. The moral effect of warship;
close to the Chinese capital would alb
solutely insure safety to Americans
Yet it is believed at the department
that ample protection will be afforuet
by the measures adopted.

The Paris correspondent of the

reason to believe that within the week
there will be a large number of volun-

out, in addition to those already des-
ignated for release from service, One
military authority says that it is not
unlikely that the 100000 soldiers in
dended to be retained will be reduced
10 about 10000 men. These, with the
regulars, would still leave an army of
about 10000 men, which is considered
10 be ample for nome and foreign SER

a result of supply and demand. The

exceeding the demand by from one TO
one and a half million bales. They say
that the worlds demand yearly will be
close around 100000 bales, while the
supply last year ran to something more
than II 100000 bales, and from present
indications the crop or the present
year will exceed the demand nearly as
much.
