the Philippines Begins Next Month.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-It is said at
the war department that no plans have
yet been made for bringing home the
volunteer troops in the Philippines
preparatory to their discharge June 80
next in accordance with law, but that

continued until all the volunteers have
been landed in the United States. There
are nearly 33,500 Of these troops and
their transportation across the Pacific
will be all immense undertaking.

Contains No Threat Against
Any Other Country Inter-
ested in China.
WAIVE THE THIRD ARTICLE
Government Will Not Concern
Itself With That Part of
the Compact.
It Is Probable That the Answer
Will Be an Unqualified
Acceptance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-In view Of the
widespread comment that the Anglo.
German alliance concerning China was
open to the possible construction Of an
implied or indirect menace or threat
against some other power interested in
the Chinese question, the attention of
Count do Quadt, the German charge
d'affaires, was called to this point.
Count de Quadt said that he was able
to give categorical and very positive
statement, on the highest authority,
that the agreement involved no menace
whatever to any power concerned in
China. He said this applied to all the
parties which had taken a hand in
Chinese affairs Count de Quadt stated
with equal positiveness that there was
no foundation for reports of further or
additional features to the agreement
beyond those transmitted to the various
governments and made public. He
said that document covered tho entire
transaction.
Response Held in Abeyance.
The response of the United States to
the British German agreement, as
communicated by Count do Quadt, is
still held in abeyance. It is under.
stood that with the third article,
namely, that concerning the compact
between Great Britain and Germany,
to take suitable measures in their own
interests in the contingency that other
powers seize territory in China, our
government will not concern itself at
this stage. 1t is not expected that our
adherence to tho arrangement would
be required to take the form of for
NAL signature or acceptance of the
whole agreement. So it is probable
that the answer to this made by tho
state department will be an unquali.
fed acceptance of the compact, but
only will treat of those portions of the
agreement with which we are directly
concerned at present

Ching and Ii Make Preliminary Pro-
posals for Settlement.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Peking says:
A preliminary convention between
China and the combined powers has
been proposed by Prince Ching and Lii
Hung Chang. It is as follows:
"Article Laying siege to the lega-
tions of foreign ministers is high Of
fense against one of the important
principles of international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such a
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect, and promises that
it will never occur again.
"Article 2-China admits her liabil.
ity to pay all indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion, and
the powers will each appoint officials to
examine and present all claims for
final consultation and settlement.
"Article S-As to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these mat
ters are to be dealt with, whether old
treaties should continue or new con.
ventlons should be made, slightly add.
ing to the old treaties or cancelling the
old treaties and negotiating new ones.
Any of
These Plans May Be Adopted
and when China has approved them
further special regulations can be made
in each case as required.
"Article 4-This convention will be
made by China with the combined
powers to cover the general principles
which apply alike to all. This settled,
the foreign ministers will remove the
seals they caused to be placed in vari-
GUS parts of the tsung Ii yamen, and
then the yamen ministers may go to
the yamen and attend to business as
usual. And further, each power should
arrange its own special affairs with
China so that separate treaties may be
settled in due order. When the various
items of indemnity are all arranged
properly or an understanding has been
reached about them, the powers will
successfully withdraw their troops.
''Article 5-The troops sent to China
1oy the powers are for the protection of
the ministers and no other purpose, so
when the negotiations begin for treat
les of peace each power should first de-
clare an armistice.
