Large Forces in China.
WASHIN GTON, Sept. 1O.-The de-
velopments of the day in the Chinese
situation still point to a speedy with
drawal of the United States troops from
! China. Generalu Chaffee has added the
weight of his opinion to that already
entertained by many officials here. 1t
Iprobably is significant that the gener-
ais statement on this point was given
publicity by the administration.
No confirmation is at hand here of
the report that Great Britain and Ger
many have Joined in an agreement to
remain together in Peking regardless of
the attitude of the other powers. Should
| this be true the fact doubtless would
hasten the rearward movement of the
American troops, for there is a deter
mination to avoid becoming involved
in any clash with the powers, as might
| reasonably be expected to follow the
execution OF this reported British Ger
man program. If there have been any
further responses to the Russian note
relative to evacuation, their purport
cannot be ascertained. This delay no
! longer interferes with the execution of
the American policy.
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--Minister
| Conger has given the administration
his views as to the policy that should
be pursued in China. Acting Secretary
of State Adee received today a lengthy
cablegram from the Minister. The dis
patch was at once communicated to
Attorney-General Griggs, senior mem
! ber in Washington, he Immediately
called up the President on the long dis
tance telephone and consulted with him
about it. The Attorney General would
say nothing about it's contents further
than it was advisory.
LONDON. Sept. 14.-Russia has de-
cided to withdraw her legation from
Peking, let wing a purely military COM
mand. An official announcement of
this is expected today. The other pow
ers will also presumably withdraw their
legations, leaving Peking under the
military control of the allies during the
winter OF least.
AT a meeting of the generals the Rus
sian commander announced that Rus
sia would maintain $4,000 troops during
the winter
The German commander said that
Germany would keep the same number
land the Japanese commander announc-
ed that Japan would have $4,000.
The British general was not in a posi-
ton to make an announcement. The
entire army of General Chaffee will be
Iquartered III some of the pleasant por-
tions of the Philippines If they are
wanted again in China they can be
transported inside of a week, thorough
ly refreshed and fitted for effective ac-
ton.
PEKING, Sept. 8, via Chefu. Sept. 10.
Shanghai, Sept. 13.-French and Rus
sian troops arriving now are guilty of
frightfIl atrocities. At Tungchow they
outraged and slaughtered women and
killed children by thousands. General
Fukushima, Japanese commander made
personal CT mplaint to the Russian and
French generals and urged General
Chaffee to do likewise.
Owing to the stress of military bust
ness General Chaffee refuses to allow
lpress correspondents the use of the wire
from Peking to Taku.
