Cabinet So Decides Late Yesterday
Afternoon-United states Has Fur-
nished Her Full Quota.
Washington, July lS.-The president
will not at this time issue call for an
extra session of congress. This decis-t
ion was announced at the white house
yesterday after cabinet meeting
which lasted two hours. The president
arrived from Canton at about 1880, and
after luncheon and an examination Of
the foreign news of the day entered the
cabinet room and was Joined by Secre-
taries Hay, Root Long and Gage and
Postmaster General Smith. The cabi-
net considered the situation from its
more favorable aspect as developed
within the last twenty-four hours and
discussed exhaustively the placing of
reinforcemen,s in China and the state
of the various appropriations available
for use in defraying the expenses of the
army. 1t was decided that the United
States can furnish rs quota to meet ex-
listing conditions without an increase In.
the size of the army, and that ample
funds are at hand to discharge all in
debtedness likely to arise~-out OF the
presence of American soldiers in China.
The president holds himself ready,
however, to issue call for an extra
session as soon as the conditions in
China necessitate an increase of forces
beyond the ability of the army as at
present constituted.
FULL QUOTA FURNISHED.
| The determination of the president
mot to order an extra session OF con-
eress is based upon the ground that the
1 United States is furnishing It's full quo
ia to the international forces in China.
Should 1t be found later on that those
forces will be brought to total of
| 100000 men or more the United States
will then be called upon to increase its
representation, and to do that the
| president must either withdraw troops
] from the Philippines or call on congress
| for authority to enlist additional men,
There are something like 10000 soldiers
lin the United States not under orders
to the Philippines who might be sent
to Chioa to meet an emergency, but
their departure would denude the posts
at home and leave them ungarrisoned
! with the excanttnn OF the coast de-
/ lenses. where men OF the heavy artil-
llery are stationed.
In diplomatic circles the discord ex-
listing In the international forces Is be-
ing discussed as perhaps the most seri-
ous phase OF the crisis In China. The
refusal of Russia to consent to Japan
landing . large army has thrown upon
the other nations the responsibility Of
increasing their quotas. Germaay -.

have thrown up Notifications and
placed forty guns at point twelve
miles from Aigun to dispute the pro-
gress of the Russians.
CZAR'S FORCES LARGE.
The official Russian aayices leave the
inference that Blagoveschensk is still
in Russian hands, the Russian losses
during the bombardment being only
three killed and five wounded.
The Amur military district was mo-
bilized fortnight ago on war foot
ing and it is believed that the Russion
forces there are $4,000 men and 112
guns. The governor general has now
ordered the troops on the frontier to
form Gordon.
The Russian papers demand retribu-
button for Chinese audacity in Man
ichuria, but they hold to the view that
Russia must persevere inSh her resolution
to avoid war.
The Chinese minister in st. Peters,
burg has disavowed the events in Man
churia ON behalf of his government and
has promised to make serious repre-
isentations to inresarding the cons
sequences that will followsif the hostili-
ties there do not cease.

clines to give Japan a free rein until
all other nations announce their agree
ment. AS Russia refuses the division of


all other nations announce their agree
ment. AS Russia refuses the division of
the International forces seems to place
Germany, Russia and France upon one
side and Japan and England upon the
other, with the United States posing as
peacemaker, but leaning toward the
side Of the latter two nations. The
Russians are jealous of the japanese,
and so are the Germans. The czar fears
that the Japanese may demand, should
they be permitted to land an army OF
10000 or $4,000 men and conquer China,
a protectorate or other control over Ko-
.rea. He contests their ambition to be
master Of that peninsula, and. while
willing that the Japanese should land
corps of from 10000 to 10000. he stands
an obstacle in the way of the prompt
suppression of the insurrection. En-
peror William is giving the czar sup
port, inasmuch as he declines to join
England and the United States in
granting Japan full and unrestricted
permission to place large army in
China and reiterates the policy adopted
some time ago Of insisting upon a
unanimous agreement among the other
nations before giving that of Germany.
EXPECTED IN THE ARMY.
In army circles the opinion is ex-
pressed that an extra session of con-
gress must be called. The outbreak Of
the Boxers in the districts near Korea
and in the southern provinces demon
strates the spread of the uprising and
Indicates clearly the enormity of the
problem presented to the international
forces They have little confidence in
LII Hung Chang's ability to restore or
der. admitting that he has such a de-
sire. They regard him as helpless and
unable to master the uprising. Nothing
short of an overwhelming military
demonstration will in their judgment
restore order. They predict that not
! 100000. but 100000, and more likely 30o.-
900 International troops will be re-
quired The refusal of certain Eu-
ropean nations to permit Japan to un-
| 3dertake the fighting makes 1t necessary
for all the nations to contribute their
quota. and the share of the United
States within the next two months Will,
| they predict. be nearer $4,000 men than
