NO FEAR or WAR WITH CHINA
SENSATIONAL REPORTS DENIED BY
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS

Washington, March 1S-In official and dplo-
matte circles here a denial is authorized of pub
lished reports that there have been conferences
with a view to the dispatch of additional war
ships and United States soldiers to China and
that news of the gravest character had been re-
ceived from the United States Minister to China.
There is said to be no fear entertained that any
serious danger to American interests is impend-
ing.
It is suggested that the published reports have
as their basis the recent action of the Navy De-
partment, made public at the time, in directing
Admiral Watson. who is in command of the

ship to the port of Taku at the mouth of the

that had been done by the Navy Department,
and he not yet aware which of his vessels

port The Secretary further denied completely
and emphaticaly the correctness of the publ
cation, far the Navy Department was con-
cerned, and added that there had been no CON
