Seattle will supply the bulk OF the
grain, hay and general army stores for
the operations of the American army IN
China II the Boxer troubles continue and
a large American force Is landed on chi
nese soil. This is the purport OF recent
instructions sent out from the office OF
the secretary OF war at Washington.
In the immediate future large shipments
of forage and animals are to be made
from this city. destined for the Phiiip-
pines. At any, time before the departure
of the transports the destination of the
steamers can be changed TO Chinese
port.
while the government has found It
profitable TO purchase the larger part or
its stores of hay. grain, lumber, etc. for
the American army IN the Orient at this
port, It nevertheless has not as yet
shown any determination to send troops
via Seattle. Under a recent order OF
the secretary OF war, 5000 troops are to
be dispatched to China to help the united
powers in the task of cleaning out the
murderous Boxers While late dis
patches from China are of a reassuring
nature It Is believed by army officers
here that the government at Washing
ton has determined to take ample meas
ures to protect American Interests Interest,"; IN tne me
Orient. Seattle. has the facilities Tor
handling large shipments OF troops, as
well as army stores and animals. Agen..
cies are at work which It is hoped will
be effectual In diverting at least por-
ton of the 5000 men this way.
1t is an established fact that during
the summer months the voyage to China
and the Philippines via Seattle and the
Northern route is far more comfortable
than through the tropics from San Fran
cisco. Whether these conditions will out
weigh the influence OF. San Francisco's
railroad friends at Washington remains
TO be seen.

chartered under a tonnage arrangement
by the quartermaster's department. to
