UNCERTAINTY ABOUT CHINA
Fully Week Must he Consumed In Diplo-
matte Communication Regarding Rus-
sia's Proposal to Retire to Tien Tsin.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Following it's
announced policy, the state depart
ment is preserving silence as to the
progress of the negotiations now
afoot respecting the withdrawal of
troops from Pekin. 1t is gathered,
however, that up to date no definite
responses have been received to our
last communication to the powers on
this subject. 1t is stated that, in all
probability, at least a week win be
consumed in diplomatic exchange.
In that time one or two things may
happen. Russia may yield to what
appears to be the wish of nearly all
the powers and refrain from carrying
out her purpose to withdraw from
Pekin or the United States forces also
will be marched out. 1t is clearly the
wish of our government that the
first of these lines of action shall be
taken.
The quartermaster's department
has sent to Taku enough supplies for
that department to furnish the 5000
troops in China with all necessaries
from September 1 until May 1. All
of these supplies will be in China
within the next 80 or 40 days. 1t is
somewhat doubtful whether Taku
will be made the site of large camp,
as the reports received by the quar-
termaster's department indicate that
the facilities at this place are not very
good. there being an especial lack of
buildings for storing and warehous-
ing the supplies. While it is possible
that small detachment will remain
at Taku. the belief at the war de-
partment is that the main body of
troops will be wintered at Tien Tsin.
