he saw the Italian troops departing for

since the crusaders In which all nations

The allusion is more apt that delicious,

Admiral Remey's massage OF the sue
cess following the cary hard fighting at
Tien Tsin helped 10 relieve the anxiety
OF the president ami his advisers, but
Minister Wu's messige was responsible
for the really hopefil feeling that pre-
vailed. Secretary Rot furnished to the
cabinet a summary o the troops available
not only in this country but in CUBA,
and gave H. as his opinion that between
10000 and 10000 Troops in all could be
spared for service il China, These rein
torcements arc 10 tie rushed through at
the earliest possible moment Most, (
not all of them, can be landed by the end of
August or early In September. One cab
met officer said that beyond those SOL
diers already destined for China from the
Philippines no further troops from the
Islands would be withdrawn unless the
situation became much more ominous.
In figuring upon the number OF add
tionai marines available, Secretary Long
summoned 10 the cabinet meeting Gen
era Haywood. who commands the ma
rine CORPS aud who is familiar with every
detail Of that branch OF the service. He
explained that under the existing law the
fun strength OF the marine corps is 5000,
but the enlistments al the present time
only aggregate about 5000. This makes
an additional 1000 marines who can be
brought into the service without congress
slonal action. No order for recruiting
these men is necessary. as the recruiting
stations are now in operation. but in the
presence of the cable. Secretary Long di-
rected General Haywood to use his ut
most endeavors to complete the recruit
ing OF the additional thousand marines.
II was decided also that the battalion OF
marines 500 in number, who were to have
left for the Far East at the end Of the
MONTH should 20 forward next Sunday In
command Of Major Randolph Dickens.
