A FAST VESSEL FOR NEWS
To be Ordered From Manila to Taku to
Learn of the Situation.

Washington, June 16.-Unless tele-
graphic communication with Admiral
Kempff is restored quickly a fast yes
Sci will be ordered to proceed from
Manila to Taku for news. Secreta-
ries Hay and Root held a conference
to-day with the president regarding
the sending of troops to China.
After the conference Secretaries Hay
and Root said they had received no
official confirmation of the burning Of
the legations in Pekin.
The conclusion reached at the con-
ference was that if communication
with Admiral Kempff is not reestab-
lished within a reasonable time forces
will be dispatched from Manila to re-
inforoe the American contingent. Pre-
liminary inquiries are being made to
see what can be done in the awy of
preparing an expedition.
An inquiry as to what constituted
reasonable time failed to secure a
definite answer, but the impression was
conveyed that unless Kempff is heard
from by Monday troops Of naval con-
tingent will be dispatched from Ma

Paris. June le-News OF fighting
between the union troops and the
the situation in China which IS form
ing the leading feature OF all the news
papers. The diplomatic world is ma
turally very much stirred. especially
owing TO the contradictory reports
regarding the attitude taken by the
empress dowager. Even the Japanese

doubtful as TO the exact conditions Of

Members OF the legation whose con-
slant intercourse with Europeans nas
brought them more into line with the
western ideas admit guardedly that
the general situation in China Is hard
ly satisfactory and that there is room
there for beneficial reforms, but taey
are far from pleased at the recent de-
velopments. which have given Russia
an opportunity 10 play what viii prob

Intervention.
4 man who is entitled 10 speak with
authority on Chinese matters, Cab
rielle La Marie. for eight years French
minister at Pekin, expresses a pessi-
mistic feeling regarding the extension
of the anti-foreign movement.
For Europeans" says NJ. La Marie,
the present crisis is the gravest that
has yet occurred. II appears 10 me
that the dowager empress at the pres
ent moment is under the influence Of
a powerful coalition OF literateurs,
comprising all the influential mandar-
ines at court, who feel that their form
er omnipotence has been shaken by the
invasion of the products Of western
science. such as the telegraph and
railroad. This coalition has frighten-
ed the empress by dwelling on the inn
portance OF the concessions made to
foreigners as threatening the integrity
of the empire.
The present movement is a verita-
BILE crusade against western civiliZa-
ton, in which the dowager empress Is
an accomplice. The Boxers are the

from his pocket, The postmaster gen.

bottom of the stairs, and retracing his
steps with a newspaper man with

Washington, jan. 25.-The cordial
reception accorded the representatives
of the Transvaal Republic by Secre-
tary Hay has disarmed the criticism
Of those who have assumed that the
attitude Of the administration is un-
friendly to the struggling republic and
entirely pro-English. Mr.. White did
NOT call upon Secretary Hay in an Of
fetal capacity, but 1t is not true that
his visit was unexpected, or that the
secretary OF state had received no pre-
vious notification Of the call.
The opposition Will nevertheless
press what they consider a point of
vantage and will insist that the Trans
vaal Republic is as much entitled to
standing with this government as Is
Great Britain. and should be received
on equal terms. Ii is an open secret
that President Kruger's agent comes to
Washington in the hope of engaging
this government to intervene tostop the
war which is in progress in South At
RIGA. The only hope Kruger now has is
