clines TO the belief that the Government OF

be able to reassert itself. He does not mean
that he beIittles the professions Of the various
viceroys who have given notice Of their willing
ness TO cooperate with the united forces. With
out committing himself TO a definite view of
territorial indemnity which when order is re-
stored might be suggested by the Powers who
have suffered in the uprising.
The interview Of the United States Ambassa-
dor. Joseph H. Choate. with Lord Salisbury
Saturday was due 10 instructions received from
Secretary Hay, in which the Ambassador was
informed Of the friendly professions Of the vari-
GUS viceroys. and was instructed to secure Lord
Salfsbury's views. Beyond casual conversation
Mr.. Choate had not mentioned the crisis in the
Far East until he received Secretary Hays
able message. The Ambassador discovered the

tanned the belief that the diplomats at Picking
had not been massacred and did not believe
they were likely TO be. He is eminently salts
fed with the action already taken by the United
States, and expressed the same views as the
cable dispatches attribute to Secretary Hay.
In short the conference may be said not to
have elected a single point which Lord Sails
bury differed from the American attitude, and
while he expressed his determination TO
every. endeavor to restore order in the Pei-Ho
Valley and extricate the diplomats, his estimate

CHINA'S REQUEST REFUSED.
THIS GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE TO
SEND TROOPS WHERE AMERICANS
ARE IN PERIL.
ARE IN PERIL.

Washington. June 25.-The chief development
to-day in the Chinese situation was the effort
Of the Chinese Minister. WI Ting Fang to Sc
cure an armistice in the operation Of American
troops until Ii Hung Chang could reach Picking
and put a stop to the discords. The propo-
sition is rather novel one, and is based on
the representations of the viceroys Of the i'm
portant provinces of the Yang-t -Kiang Valley
that they can maintain order without the aid of
foreign troops and that the presence of the
foreigners would act merely incentive to
disorder.
Minister WI brought these representations to
the attention of Secretary Hay who consulted
the President The latter's decision,
veyed TO the Minister. that while the
ances of the vfceroys for continued quiet were
fully appreciated the United States could not
bind itself to send its forces to points where
disorder actually existed. and where the safety
Of American officials and citizens was
dangered. Technically speaking, in the absence
of a state Of war this was not a proposition for
an armisttce, but high Government officials said
it amounted practically to an offer Of armistiCe
and a refusal on the part of the United States
to make the arrangement.
Secretary Long said when he left the Navy
Department Tor the day that nothing had come
from Admiral Kempf on the casualties of the
first engagement Of the American marines with
the Chinese or on the outcome of the second
engagement, which was TO have occurred yester-
day or Saturday The only dispatch received by
the Secretary was a belated one from Admiral
Kempf. asking for instructions as to whether
he should cooperate with the other naval forces
in taking the Taku forts. This must have been
sent some days ago as the Taku forts were
taken the middle of last week. Under the cir
CumstanCes. there was no occasion for answer
ing the Admirals request. he already had
been advised of the general purpose of this Gov
eminent TO act concurreutly with the other
Powers in the protection of American interests.
The State Department remained throughout
the day without information from Minister Con-
ger, the only dispatch received being from Con-
sul-Ceneral Goodnow, at Shanghai, saying he
had heard nothing from Picking since June Il
The day was one Of great anxiety.
The reported action of the gunboat Monocacy
in falling TO respond after she had been fired
upon from the Taku forts is understood TO have
been received with surprise by the President
who requested explanation Of the matter
which has not yet been furnished. This was
made known to-day in official quarters, to offset

TO REDUCE THE FORCE IN CUBA.
NO INDICATIONS OF FUTURE TROUBLE IN THE
ISLAND.

Washington, June 25-As soon as Secretary Root
returns TO this city early next week final arrange
ments will be made for the Withdrawal OF as
many troops as can be spared from further service
in Cuba. According TO reports recently received
from GovernOr-General Wood, the elections passed
eff quietly and without serious disorder at any
point, and affairs generally have become tranquil.
with no indications of future trouble. In conse-
quence Of this encouraging state Of affairs. the
officials of the War Department considering
the question of large reduction OF the military
force IN Cuba. II has been estimated that about
half of the troops safely be brought home
within the next few months. Nothing will be set
tied as 10 which regiments shall come until after
Secretary Root returns TO the city There is an
impression, however. that the 9Th Infantry. sta
toned principally in the Department of Santiago
will be the first regiment return to the United
States and that the sth Infantry stationed in the
same Department will follow soon after The
return Of these troops will enable the War De-
Partment to carry out its plan OF sending Regulars
to the Philippines to take the place of the yolun-
charged by June 80 1901. Unless developments in
China compel a change of programme. The home
ward movement of the volunteer troops from the
Philippines will begin in the early fan. and eight
thousand thousand Regulars will be sent
gradually to take their place.
