1t is Believed That the Force Can BE
Reduced One-Half.
AS soon as Secretary Root returns to this
will be made for the withdrawal of as many
troops as can be spared from further ser
vice in Cuba. According to reports recent
ly received from Gen. Wood, the governor
general of the island, the elections passed
off quietly and without serious disorder at
any point, and affairs generally have be-
come tranquil, with no Indications of future
trouble. In consequence of this encourag-
ing state of affairs the officials of the War
Department are considering the question
Of a large and early reduction Of the mill
tary force in Cuba 1t has been estimated
that about one-half Of the troops can safe
ly be brought home within the next few
months. Nothing will be settled as to
which regiments shall be brought home un-
tt! after Secretary Root returns to the city.
There is an impression, however, that the
9Th Infantry, stationed principally in. the
department Of Santiago, will be the first of
the Cuban regiments to return to the United
States, and that the 9Th Infantry stationed
in the same department. will follow soon
after.
States will enable the War Department to
carry out its plan of sending regular troops
from this country to the Philippines, to
take the places of the volunteer army,
which must be brought home and dis
charged by the Both of June, next year.
Unless developments in China necessitate a
change of program, the homeward move
pines will begin in the early fall and about
5000 or 10000 regular troops will be sent
out gradually from this country to take
their places in the various garrisons.

ASSISTANT SOLICITOR

He Has NOminally Occupied the Posi-

The State Department today announced
the appointment of Frederick Van Dyne as
assistant solicitor of the State Department,
at a salary of $500 per annum. Mr.. Van
Dyne has nominally occupied this position
for long time and the formal appoint
ment Is an acknowledgment of his services
in connection with many of the delicate
litigations of an International character
which have come before the office of the
solicitor of the State Department. Mr. Van
Dyne was born November "a. 1861. in Pal
myra. n. Y, where he was reared and ed
ucated. Having been left an orphan, he
was thrown upon his own resources at an
early age. He graduated at the high school,
taught school one year and then entered
law office as student. doing chores for
his board in winter and working on a
farm in summer. While in the law office
he studied Shorthand, and having become a
proficient stenographer, was. in 1888, en-
ployed by the Lawyers Cooperative Pub
lishng Company of Rochester and sent to
Washington to copy from the records of the

NDW YORK, June 25.-The examination
of Charles F. W. Nicely, which has been
postponed a number of times, and was set
for today before United States Commisson-
er Shields, has been again postponed to
next Friday at 1870 am The postpone
ment was by the arrangement and mutual
consent of counsel.
Assistant United States District Attorney
Baldwin said today that the government
would act very soon in the Neely case.
According to Mr.. Baldwin, when the gov
eminent does act it will be in the shape OF
an application made by the district attorney
to Judge Lacombe of the United States
circuit court, asking for Neely's removal to
Havana, under the special extradition act
passed by Congress in the last days Of the
session. 1t is understood that Neely's
counsel will make no move in the matter
until after the government takes some def
mite step for the prisoners removal The
proceedings under the original request for
Neelys extradition made by Governor Cen
eral Wood upon Gov. Roosevelt will un-
doubtedy be discontinued. Neely. in the
meantime, is In Ludlow street JAIL where

Military Refnforcensents.
Notwithstanding the persistent denials of
Gen. Corbin and other officials of the War
Department. the impression prevails in
usually well-informed circles that the ,nili-
tary reinforcements in China will by no
means be confined to the 9th Infantry and
the two squadrons of the 9th Cavalry. and
that the United States will soon be repre-
sented in China by at least brigade of
about 1900 troops. under the command of
a general officer. oven If the War Depart
ment has actually decided upon such a
movement. however. 1t will be impossible
to carry it into effect for several weeks to
come. Owing to the stormy conditions pre-
vailng in the Philippines. it has been found
impracticable so far to even start the 9th
Infantry on its way to China In his last
message to the War Department on the
subject Gen. Macarthur said that the regi-
ment would probably start from Manila on
the 9th instant. Nothing has been heard
from him since to Indicate change of
plan. The hope is expressed, however, that
the storm will abate before that date and
enable the troops to get away tonight or
tomorrow. The transport Logan has been
kept in readiness for the trip, and will get
away as soon as the soldiers are embarked.
She will make the best speed she is capable
of in the run to Taku and should get there
In about one weeks time.

Colonel Liscum, the officer In command
Of the 9th Infantry. has been ordered to
proceed to Taku, thence to Pekin for the
relief of the United States legation, and to
report then to the United States minister
or his representative" Colonel Liscum is
valiant soldier and may be counted on to
execute his orders to the letter, regardless
of whatever obstacles the Chinese rioters
may undertake to put in his way. He is
an out and out fighter and will undoubt-
edly make it warm for any troops that on

from the Philippines to China. AS he is
senior officer of the navy in Asiatic waters
it was proper that hc should have COM
mand at the place Of greatest importance.
That is the only meaning Of his assignment.
Admiral kempff will remain at Taku.
Dewey Prediction Not Credited.
The prediction that Admiral Dewey may
be sent to China to take command of the
American campaign in that quarter finds
little credence in official circles. For one
reason, the principal operations Of the fu-
ture are almost certain to be conducted on
land, with soldiers as the major force, and
it would be contrary to usage to put naval
officer In command OF such operations
where military officers Of high rank are
available for the service. OF course, If the
trouble in China should develop into gen
eral war with the powers. naval operations
would naturally figure as a problem Of the
future. ard in that event there might be
some probab bility in the reassignment to
active sea duty of a naval commander OF
the prestige and prowess of the hero Of
Manila bay. But such contingency is
not looked for by the military experts who
have been following the events Of the ORR
ent with a close and critical eye.
To Command Land Forces,
In the expected event that the United
States may be called upon. in the interests
of humanity, to conduct military operations
on somewhat extensive scale in the how-
cry, kingdom, the officials of the War De-
partment are considering the selection Of
some officer Of high rank to take active
command in the field. There are many gen.
eral officers now on duty in the Philip
pines who have distinguished themselves
In the campaigns in Cuba and the Philip
pines, and 1t is probable that the selection
of a military commander for the Chinese
campaign will be made from among their
number Available for this assignment In
case their special duties in the Philippines
are not such as to demand their continued
presence in that country, are Major Gen
erals Bates and Wheaton, and Brisadier
