AMERICA SENDS GUNBoAT.
Action Taken in Response to Conger's
Message.

Washington, June 6.-Minister Conger
cabled today that the situation at Pekin
was worse. and this statement, taken
in connection with Admiral Kempffs
alarming cablegram of yesterday. an
nouncing that an engagement had be-
gun, decided the state department TO
strengthen the naval forces nearest the
scene OF the trouble. Accordingly,
cablegram was sent to Admiral Remey
at Manila, directing him to dispatch at
once to Admiral Kempff's command the
gunboat Helena. or a correspondence
light-draft ship. Admiral Kempffs
flag ship. the Newark, drawing twenty
three feet of water, cannot ascend the
Pei Ho river safely beyond the Taku
forts near the entrance, but the little
Helena, drawing only eleven feet. can
safely ascend to Tien Tsin, forty miles
above. She was specially designed for
service in these Chinese rivers, and so
is likely to prove much more effective
than any other of the foreign warships
which can pass the Taku forts to reach
Tien Tsin. She carries batteries oar
ticularly for dealing with organized

But tonight there was enough excite

VIII Act Independently.

secretary Hay cabled Minister Con-
ger On authorization to call for rein
forcements from Admiral Kempff and
TO make such disposition of his naval
force as he deems proper to protect
American interests generally.
The administration is determined
that the United States government
shall continue on its independent
course respecting the Chinese situa-
ton. though willing TO go as far as
possible to aid in the restoration of
peace and order in China. Therefore
Admiral Kempff has not been instruct
ed to join the other naval commanders
IN the Pei Ho river in concerted action.
Pressure For Action.
The friends of the American mission
aries in the disturbed zone in China
are becoming alarmed, and the state
department is beginning to feel the
pressure to their efforts to adopt the
aggressive policy.
Today inquiries were made as to the
reason for the passive attitude of the
United States naval forces in Chinese
waters while the Russians are reported
TO have promptly sent out military ex-
petitions from Pekin for the rescue of
Russian, French and Belgian subjects
whose safety was jeopardized. 1t was
should have been likewise dispatched
to the assistance of the American mis-
siOnaries at PaO Ting Flu
The departments answer was that
Minister Conger being on the scene
was better prepared than any one here
to adopt relief measures for which he
had already received the sanction of
the department in the shape of a gen
eral authorization to protect American
interests. which. of course meant
American lives among other things. 1t
also was questioned whether the very
small force of marines at the minis
ter's Command could be used to make a
march through the hostile country and
away from its base.
In that case the United States Iega-
ton, the only refuge in Pekin, would
be unsafe for American refugees as
well as for the United States minister
himself for the lack Of suitable
guard. Meanwhile the DEVELOPMENTS
are being closely watched. and if the
next phase should be still worse. it is
probable that in addition to the He
lena, at least one more warship. posi-
bly, the Princeton. with a full battalion

proposition TO call upon General Mac
Arthur for troops to make up a land
ing party has not been preached to the
war department, and it is not expected
that such a step will be taken. save as
last resort, for it is felt that it would
mark an ENHANCEMENT of the United
States in the European designs re-
specting China from which it would be
difficult or impossible to secure release

THF COAL FAMINE IN EUROPE.
Enormous Production Fails to Meet
the Present Dennnd-LOokIng
to America for lselicf.

Washington, April 11.-Additional
information has been furnished the
state department relative to the ex-
istence of serious coal famines in I,ms-
sia and Germany.
Consul-General Guenther. at Frank
fort, writes that never before in the
history of Germany has there been
such a demand upon the coal produc-
ton of the country as at present. Not
w~ithstanding the fact that last wears
output was 100000 ions in excess of
the preceding years supply, tn.
anount on hand is entirely Inadequate
to meet the ~ever-increasine demand.
h minister CT commerce mas sent an
inquiry to the coal mine owners CT In.
per Silesia, asking whether the coal
production could be increased BY es-
Publishing Il greater number IF shafts
al the mines, and assuring them OF
state aid if such be the case.
In Russia about the same conditions
exist as to the scarcity of coal. the srp.
ply being enormously large, but still
not large enough. The extension of
the railways and the increased indus
trial activity in Russia account in
large measure for this condition: i,;,>
the undeveloped state of the coal min.
ing industry itself, also plays an i'm.
Iortant part in the situation.
The permanent abolition of duties ON
foreign coal and coke has been ur.yed
as a remedy, but this The authorizes
declare to be out of the question.
American coal is very much in 10.
mand in Austria, France. Japan. Tie

suis at various points in these coup.

ing TO the extensive importation of the
