Adjutant General Corbin is authority
for the statement that nothing has
been heard from General Macarthur
on the subject Of sending additional re-
Inducements to China. The depart
ment, however, is making arrange
ments for the prompt transportation to
CHINA OF as many troops as can be
spared from immediate service in the
Ff1ipinos.
Acting Secretary Meikeljohn was in
close consultation during the day with
General Miles, Adjutant General Cor
bin,. Quartermaster Ludington, and
Colonel Bird, the quartermaster in
cret that the deliberations related to
the execution Of plans for affording
substantial relief to the small naval
forces which has 50 far borne the brunt
Of the battle at Taku, Tien Tsin and on
the road to Pekin, in conjunction with
the larger forces Of the allied powers
So far as the transportation is con-
cerned there will be no difficulty in the
way Of forwarding additional troops
from Manila to the Chinese coast.
The war department officials are also
seriously considering the advisability
of changing the destination Of the
transport Grant from Manila to Taku.
She will carry two squadrons of the
Sixth cavalry, numbering about 800
men, and a battalion Of marines num-
bering 230 men. These troops are now
being assembled at San Francisco and
are scheduled to start for the east on
the 1st proXimo. The Grant is a fast
ship and can make the trip to China
in twenty-eight or thirty days. The
horses of the cavalry troops are to be
taken over on transports from Port
land, Oregon,

PACIFIC ASSURANCES
The Governors of the Provinces of the
Yang Use Kfang Provinces and of
Canton Give Assurances of Ability
to Preserve Order.

Washington, June 2S.-Several i'm
portant communications have been re-
ceived by the secretary of sta te, JUS
tifying the attitude assumed by this
government that, technically speaking,
"a state of war does not exist between
the United States and China. The vic
eroys who have their seats of govern
ment at Marking and WI Chang, and
who govern the five great provinces
in the Yang Use Kiang region, have
assured this government that they are
determined and perfectly able to pre-
serve order in their jurisdictions and
protect the lives and property of for
eigners. In reply to this they have
been assured that, so long as they are
able to maintain order and protect life
and property in the provinces under
their control the government of the
United States will send no troops into
with the other powers in the same di-
rection.
Another communication Of great i'm
portance was received from Lii Hung
Chang, the viceroy of Canton, who
gives his personal assurance that the
firing upon the foreign fleets at Taku
was not authorized by the Chinese
government. He desires the authority
of the powers to proceed to Pekin fol
the purpose Of putting an end to the
disturbances there, a purpose in which
his great influence both with the cour
and with the people gives a certain
promise of success. The United States
and it is believed, the powers have as
sented to this proposition of Lii Hun
Chang, and he is supposed to have
started for Pekin.

Chfna-The Warming OF Her Min.sf r
at Pekin Not HOeded

Copyright by Associated PressD
Berlin June 2l.-The Chinese troubles
have almost completely swept the
South African war from public at,en-
ton. Even the latest Pretoria news
went uncommented upon. except by the
military. About Chinese events. the
foreign office uses great reticence. and.
above all. studiously avoids admitting
that the present events mean an ac-
tual and probably pitter and protract-
ed war with China
This may be partly owing to the at
tacks of the radical and socialist press.
Whlch maintains that the present ris-
eign devils" is directly or indirectly
due 20 the German seizure OF Kiao
Snou In this the papers are strength
ened by the public utterances OF the
German missionary bishop OF Shan
Iung, vonAnzera, who recently de-
Scrloed the disastrous effect upon mis-
sionary work of the Kiao Chou seIz-
ure.
| In political circles here n Is known
| that the foreign office was quite sur
| prised by the increasingly serious char
| acter of the uprising.
While it is true Baron vonKettaler

two months ago, detailed report from
Pekin containing alarming advices
from the German consuls throughout

! teller was new in Pekin; but, though
the emperor and Count vonBuelow.

| attach much Importance to the first
news from China, they are now thor
oughly aroused. His majesty declar-
ed Friday, at Kiel, that German in
| terests in China under no circumstances
must be allowed to suffer- no matter
how great the sacrifice.
The foreign office says that It's latest
news from Tien Tsin is substantially
the same as that set forth in the state
ment of Right Hon. William St John
Broderick, under secretary of state for
foreign states, however, that "the
Chinese soldiers have made desperate
resistance to the international forces.
which again proves that 1t will be nee
essary for the powers to continue their
present policy of Jointly enforcing or
der in China and also the necessity for

THE
NEW YORK WORLD !
THRICE-A,WEEK EDITION..

Practically Daily at the Price of a
Weekly. 4
The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of the Thrice-a-
Week World to every reader. Foran
almost nominal sum it has kept in
formed of the progress of all our
wars, and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and as fully as if
it were daily. With our interests
stillexteuding throughout the world,
with our troops operating in the
Philippines, and the great Presiden-
tial campaign, too, at hand, it's value
is further increased.
The motto of The Thrice. a. Week
World is Improvement. 1t strives
each year to be better than it was the
year before, and public confidence in
it is shown by the fact that it now
circulates more than twice as many
papers every week as any other news
paper, not a daily, published in Amer
lea.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and the News AND CITIZEN together
the year for $175.
