REGIMENTS HURRIED IN.

Five Expected Soon TO lie Added TO
Our Forces In China.
washington. july 6.-At least three
additional regiments ot Infantry and,
one or two cavalry regiments are TO be
sent to China a; once. The secretary of
war Issued orders for the withdrawal of
troops from Cuba and Porto Rico, the
being that these regi-
rents as fast as they are Withdrawn
should be hurried across the ocean to
China.

as the transport that Is to be utilized
for this purpose lies there.
AS indicated In previous dispatches
all troops to be withdrawn from Cuba
and Porto Rico and to be sent from
military posts in this country will be
ordered to start for the Philippines.
The secretary Of state and the secre-
stary of war in various conferences held
this week. Including one yesterday,
agreed that it would be the wisest pol
icy to give troops designed to replace
the volunteers in the Philippines orders
to start for Manila and to defect such
troops at Nagasaki or some other in
termediate point If deemed necessary.
This method Of DETECTION, 1t is sup
posed. will be very generally pursued:
the idea is Of course to avoid sending
troops to China uselessly and to send
orders at the last Junction point be-
tween the two courses, leading one to
Taku and Che Foo and the other to
Manila.
Besides the determination to send res

II the anti-sllver leaders had an
ltlcipated that the vote would be so
close they might have won. It would
have been possible for them to have se-j

mittee on resolutions, but they were
surprised at their own strength. AS 1t
was they would have adopted per-
Sfunctory Endorsement OF the Chicago
platform by several majority but for
the strenuous lnsistence Of Col. Bryan
who participated in the debate over n
long distance telephone thru Mr.. Met
calf. of the Omaha WorldlHerald who
acted as secretary of the committee.
His was the message that changed the
votes of Senator Jones, of Arkansas:
Stone, of Missouri. and Wilson, of Ten
nessee, and caused Mr.. Norris, of the
District Of Columbia, and Mr.. Houser,
of Montana, to dodge the issue.
Al the beginning of the debate all Of
these gentlemen argued against putting
Is to 1 in the platform, on the ground
that a less specific platform would in
duce hundreds of thousands of conserv-
alive democrats who went Off on the
silver Issue and voted either for Mckin-
ley or Palmer to come back with the
party. but after they had heard from
Mr.. Bryan they changed their positions,
as I have stated. and voted under his
Instructions against their own judg-
ment and convictions. Whether they
actually believed that he would decline
the nomination In doubtful. but the an.
ti-s!lver men on the committee declared
that they hoped he would, and If he did
they would nominate Hill of New York.
Perhaps this threat was equally effect
i've in soaring the committee, because
the tremendous demonstration in Hills
honor at the convention hall made it
seem easily possible. The demonstra-
tons began among the delegatesAthat

inforcementsst to the orient there was no
news of Importance received yesterday
from any of the news centers in the far
east.
The only cable received was from Adj
miral Kempff, who wired from Che Foo
that Myers of Oregon commands force
at Pekin. Capt. Hill and DIR. Lippitt
are also there" This was in response
to the inquiries sent by Secretary Long
some days ago asking kempff about the
number of American naval officers in
SPekin and their names.
Secretary Root was at the white
house for an hour yesterday, and tho
he said his presence there meant Moth
ing and that he waa simply looking over
dispatches it is believed that he was in.
conference over the long distance tele-
phone with the president at Canton.
This undoubtedly related to the dispatch
of the extra forces to China.
Minister WI and the French and Ger
man charges daffaires called a, the
state department during the day. ask
ing for news. Minister WI is still
pressing the department to give greater
assurances against sending troops to
southern and central China. but the
only assurances he will receive are.
those placing a condition of maintains
ing law and order in those provinces
1t was learnsd yesterday that both the
secretary of state and the secretary of
the navy wired all the diplomatic and
naval officers in and near China for
news of Conger and the beleaguered
Americans in Pekin on Monday after
noon. and that not one word in reply,
excepting kenlpff's dispatch of yester-
day. has been deceived.
All this, lends credence to the stories
that are being circulated in all the Eu-
elopean capitals to the effect that all
foreigners, in Pekin numbering 1000,
have been cruelty murdered after haN-
ing made q gallant and what must have
been a heart-racking defense.
There ia but a Shred of hope in Wash
ington official circles that Minister
Gonger, his family and the several Wis
jiting Americans who We're at the Legal
.tior in Pekin three weeks ago are now
alive.
The merest hope that they are alive
tocay is not conducive to hopes that
they will be alive week or ten days
from today, and relief can not reach
them minute sooner and will hardly
reach them then.
Therefore anxiety has given way to a
Pekin, if not already killed. will be dead
beforesany International relief army can
fight its way thru the hundreds of thou
sands, of armed Cinnamon in the coun-
try between Pekin and Tien Tsin.

that trouble must come. yet there has
been no sign of an outbreak and the
men appear to be well handled by their

The temper OF the mine owners on
the question Of arbitration, as indicat-

osition. Nevertheless Father Phillips
