AMERIcAK FLEET W CHINESE WATERS
 TO BE STRENGTHENED
# Is Said in Official Circles at Washington That the Step Has No Particular Signid-
 cance at This lime.


 WASHINGTON. Jan. Tt is prob able that the cruiser Olympia will shortly be replaced as the flagship of the Chinese squadron by the battle ship Oregon, now undergoing final re- pairs at Puget Sound. The Olympia has been on the Chinese station for about two years, and is said to require considerable overhauling of her boilers and machinery. Her relief by the larger and more. powerful warship would have no more significance than a natural desire to show a first-class battle-ship of the United States navy in waters never before. visited by one
 In strengthening. her naval forces in China the United States would only be following the example of the European powers, and it is; not at all improbable that an emergency may arise which will render the services of a strong naval force extremely desirable and advantageous to the large commercial interests of the United States in that quarter of the globe. It is believed at the Navy Department that the change recently ordered in the command of the Asiatic fleet has already occurred, and that Commodore Dewey has relieved Admiral McNaire of the command of that station. The new w~eonmander-in chief is well known in this vicinity through his long service on the Light House Board and afterward as presi- dent of the Naval Inspection Board.

 At present this Government: ..en
 joys extra territorial Jurisdiction un- der which consular representatives of the United States. try and punish Americans charged with offenses com: mitted in the celestial empire. :. 1t is conceded by officials of the administra= :. tion that the treaties existing. between the United States and China would fall to the ground inAcase of the" collapse: of the Picking government, In connection with the Hawaiian controversy, it has been argued by Secretary sherman that all treaties between: Japan and Hawaii will cease to be binding upon the accomplishment of annexation, and in support of this statement he quoted this recognized principle < of.+interna- tional law Obligations of treaties, even where some of their stipulatfons are in their terms perpetual. expire: in case either of the contracting parties loses its existence: as an independent state, or in case its internal constitu- tion is SO changed as to render the treaty inapplieable to the new cendi- ton or: things.
 While the: President has formulated no definite plans; and will not do so until the partition of China is an ac- complished fact, there. is reason to be- lieVe that once the dissolution of China is decided upon negotiations will be commenced with the powers taking ter ritory, which will have as their object the protection of American interests. The United States is now negotiating commercial treaty with France which shall apply to Tunis, over which France has established a. protectorate, and it has been held by authorities that treaties signed by Tunisian and Ameri- can statesmen years ago have become void, as a result of the usurpation of it's administration in that country by the French government The same contention applies to China

What Mil Follow #. the Powers Of Europe Decide tosDiWde China Uo Among z
 Themselves.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA Washington special to the Herald says: "If China is divided up among the powers, our own history and the precedent we have established with reference to Hawaii will compel us to negotiate new treaties with the several powers which take Chinese territory"
 This statement was made to me by an official of the administration who has discussed the Eastern situation with the President. As result of Cabinet discussion, it has been decided that the United States will take no part in the partitioning of China, ex- cept to see that Americans and their interests are not injured. The Ameri. can fleet in Asiatic waters will be ready to protect Americans and their interests in case of necessity.
 It is the commercial aspect of the situation which the authorities arc watching with much anxiety. If the European governments take possession o6 Chinese territory they will put ;;. force in such territory their owu cus- toms and revenue laws, which will, O. course, be more stringent than those F operation under the present govern ment of China.

 came in: there were five or six large ships outside waiting to come into. the harbor, and last night there were still three lying outside of us The way: the tides are now there is no back water in the daytime, as the tides and currents
 are very swift. I understand. this is
 the reason why it will be impossible to tow ships in the daytime for several days to come .:.:. :: =. ::. ..:;: -. . :. The steward; Gustav won .Lichten- fe1Z; states that just before the. Oak | land left Astoria, :on the 22d ult.; the
 men refused to do duty, claiming that | they had been worked too hard. The ship. was then leaking little and they 1 did not want to work the pumps: Twice on the high seas afterward they refused on the same grounds. " Once they would not set the topsails when ordered by the mate, and on the very morning on which the ship was abandoned they declined to. work the pumps. The ship was so waterlogged that it would have made no difference The captain was determined to do all he could to save his vessel. For two days the steward worked up to his knees in water in his galley, but could not keep fire enough to cook with. Two steamers southhound passed them, one just before they abandoned the ship and one just after they were rescued by the Laura May.
 The news has just been received here of the wrecking and foundering of the gasoline launch Keystone, belonging to McGowan & Sons, the cannery men. The Keystone left South Bend on the afternoon of the 30th, bound for Astoria. She reached about fifteen miles south, or about off the Columbia River where she ran up against a strong east wind and could make no headWay. The waves were breaking nigh and flooded her with water About that time the schooner Melancthon came along, bound from San Francisco to South Bend. Captain Maupin Jumped from his launch aboard the schooner Just as he did so the Key stone sank beneath his. feet, never to appear again. Captain Maupin was taken back to South Bend, but it is not learned whether he had a crew with him or not
