General Chaffees instructions by cable to
Nagasaki. which would be the first port
from San Francisco.
Secretary Root was asked If any more
troops would be ordered to China. and he
replied, mot yet" but intimated that the
further action of the War Department in
that matter would be governed entirely by
the exigencies of the situation. To-day's
instructions are supplementary to his
original orders ito proceed to Peking by
way of Nagasaki and Taku."
The following statement is published by
the War Department: "The War Depart
ment is daily in receipt of letters and tele-
grams from all sections of the country
rendering the services of individuals and
organizations in the event of war between
the United States and China. To all these
there can be but one reply. BY the act of
March ., 1899, the President was author
lied to raise a force of not more than $500
volunteers, which volunteer force shall
continue in service only during the neces-
sty therefor and not later than June 30,
1901 and by the act of April 22 1885, the
volunteer army OF the United States can
| be maintained only during the existence

| only after Congress has or shall have
| authorized the President TO raise such a
| force or TO call into the actual service of
| the United States the militia of the several

volunteer force, and while the War De-

can only reply to each and every such
tender OF assistance that there is
