NEW York, Oct. ga special to the
Herald, from Washington, says: In.
structions have been issued by Secre-
llss.sI4ong to Rear Admiral Dewey, di-
recting him to send the protected crui-
ser Baltimore, ct once, to Tien Tsin.
China. This action shows concluslvely
that the concern felt by the adminstra-
tion at tho existing condition in the
Celestial Empire. would indicate more
sensational information received from
Minister Conger than the authorities
have made public.
WE SEND TWO SHIPS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. = Secretary
Long, upon the advice received at the
State Department, showing the eAis-
istence Of threatening conditions in
China, ordered Admiral Dewey to send
two warships Immediately from Manila
to a point as near the chinese capital
as possible for the warships TO approach.
The vessels selected are the Baltimore
ard the Petrol. 1t is expected that the
baltimore will not be able to get be-
yond the Taku forts, at the entrance of
the Pang He river, upon which Pekin
is situated; but the Petrol, being Of
smaller proportions, may be able to
reach Tien Tsin, eighty miles above the
mouth and the same distance below
Pekin.
