fastening the Departure of Those
Recently Ordered to Join 1t.

Washington, September 24.-The
navy department is doing everything
in it's power to expedite the dispatch
of the ships which the government has
eoide to send to the Asiatic station
to reinforce our fleet there. The Will
mington, attached to the South At
lantic station, has sailed from Palmy-
ra for Montevideo, where she will coal
and sail Immediately to China by way
of the Mediterranean. The cruiser AL
bany, now in Grecian waters, was to-
day ordered to proceed to Manila. The
other ships selected for service in
Asiatic waters, the battleship Ken
lucky, the guboatS Annapolis and
Vicksburg and the converted yacht
Dorothea, are in American waters. All
will go into drydock at once. 1t is
expected hat all the vessels will have
arrived at their destination by De
cember LIST
With the addition of these six ships
the United States fleet in ASiatic wa
terS will consist of thirty-four vessels,
by far the largest American fleet eve
employed on strictly foreign service.
Rear-Amiral Remey will remain in
command of the American naval forces
and, probably, will make the port Of
Manila his principal headquarters. The
fleet will be divided into WI divisions.
the first cruising in the Philippines to
be under the direct command of Ad-

will confine its cruising to Chinese wa
tiers, will be commanded by Rear-Ad-
miral Kempff who is the second rank

disposition, it must o be deduced
therefrom that the Washington gov
thinks the United States rad
and missionary interests require less
careful protection than those of the
other powers, but that the United
States government is compelled to be
indulgent, owing to the unfayorable
effect upon the situation in the Philip
pines caused by the transfer of troops
from those Stands to China. As a mat
ter of fact, the telegram adds, a vigor-
Gus and exemplary punishment Of the
guilty councillors of the Chinese court
will be in accordance with the inter-
ests of boil American trade and mis-
sionarieS.
For a settlement between the powerH
and China it makes no difference. how
ever, asserts the telegram, whether
America cooperate n further or
not. Forces for all emergencies will re-
a~va1laole to secure the expiation
demanded by the civilized world.

"Taku, September 24.-The Russians
occupie dthe Notifications at Lu Tai
yesterday"
Lu Tai is situated about forty miles
northeast of Tfen Tsin and is about
twenty miles due north of Taku.
FRANCES REPLY TO GERMANY.
Paris, September 24.-France's reply
to Germany's note making the punish
ment of the inStigators of the Chinese
troubles a preliminary to peoce negotia-
tons is not entirely an cceptance of
the proposition France argues thai
punishment is necessary, but would
negotiate certain conditions
without first Furnishing the guilty Off
Gals.
The foreign office informed the rep
resentative of the Associated Press to-
day that NJ. Pichon, the French minis
ter at Pekin, will pass the winter at
the Chinese capital, in spite of the diff
culties of the telegraph service. as
Tien Tsin is considered u~ninhabitable
after the sacking of that city.
France is not inclined to increase her
ASiatic fleet but possibly some gun
boats will be sent to navigate the
small streams.
