WAR WITH CHINA PROBABLE.
Our Troops viii Have No Part in the
Conflict.
(Ev .Associatel Fress.l

WASHINGTON, September 26.-It is be-
lieved that General ChafTee being at
Tien Tsin, has by this time received the
instructions cabled him yesterday relative
to the reduction of his force in China. If
he returns 10 Pekin to execute the order
it viii be Monday at least before he can
begin the movement toward T'ien Tsin.
II is thought here that with a view 10
preventing any possible misunderstanding,
he has acquainted the military represen-
tatives of the Powers at Tien Tsin of the
projected withdrawal of the American
forces. This is deemed more necessary
because OF the possibility of the appear
ance of Field Marshal Won !Valdersce at
Taku or Tien Tsin al any moment
1t is desirable that the change of the
status of the American troops shall have
taken place before he appears on the
scene.
The rapid movement of events in China
toward actual ana formal war. which is
regarded as certain to follow refusal
on the part of Germany and some OF the
other continental Powers to enter into
negotiations for q settlement with China,
is regarded here as justifying the decision
of the State Department to withdraw the
American troops. now that the purpose
for which these troops were sent into
China has been accomplished.
AS to the military plans already laid
down, they VIII remain UNCHANGED. it is
said here If tho belligerent Power or
Powers seize upon Pellln the American
Minister will still remain there. and Gen
eral Chaffee's legation guard will stay
with him. but take no part in the war
The Power in possession can find no valid
objection TO the presence OF this legation
