AMERICAN TROOPS
ORDERED TO China
Hurried Conference Be-
tween Miles and Corbin.
The Troops Under Orders Now
in the States-The Brooklyn
Has Arrived at Che Foo.

Washington, July AS D. iesui'
of thorough consideration OF the
subject by the secretary OF war.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, orders were issued by the.
war department to-day for the dis
patch of 6,254 regular troops to
the Philippines with a view to
their utilization in China. The
force is made up of two battallons
each of the Fifteenth, Second,
Fifth and the Eighth, infantry,
two squadrons each of the First
and Ninth cavalry, one squadron
of the Third cavalry and a COM
pany of engineers. These troops
will be forwarded as rapidly az
possible and as soon as transpor-
tation arrangements can be per-
fected, and the entire feet OF
transports at San Francisco and
New York will be employed in the
work.
The issue Of the formal orders
for the dispatch to the east Of more
than six thousand troops from the
army posts in the United States is
a manifestation of the energy with
which tho government is now about
to act in the Chinese matter. True,
these troops are nominally destin-
ed for the Philippines to replace
the volunteers now out there, but
it is admitted that they are being
sent out by route that will easily
admit of DETECTION to Taku or
some other convenient Chinese
port. When these troops are land
ed in China, together with the
Ninth infantry supposed tobe now
at Taku, and the marine and naval
contingent the United States will
have a force in action commensu-
rate with our interests and in pro-
portion to the European forces.
Japan is to begin the movement,
on Pekin, according to to-daY,.sad-
vices, with the full consentof the
powers, and it is calculated that
the foreign reinforcements incaud-
ing our own, will arrive irlChina,.
if they are landed at all, in season Z
to finish the work that may bsleft
by the Japanese. The orders OF
to-day to the troops will, it is be-
lieved, at the state department.,
have an indirect, but most I'M
portant effect upon the situation
as a whole in China. Once the
great viceroys in China. Southern
and Central, become satisfied that
the foreign legations are actually,
coming in force, they may bs
counted upon to take the warning
to themselves and continue to. OBJ
serve neutrality at least. Evi-
dently Consul General Goodenow's
suggestion yesterday has had its
effect, for he pointed out himself
the beneficial effect that the addi-
ton of troops to the soldiers now
in China would have.

A Human Hiss Cowed the Lion.


At Cape Town lion tanner was go
ing through a performance In q cage
with a full grown lion lately caught.
Suddenly it was seen that the brute
was putting the trainer through his
PAGES rather than being put through it.
self. Softly, crouching and creeping,
the big cat edged itself between the
thoroughly unnerved man and the door
of the den, fixing it's victim with two
rolling yellow orbs of flaming ferocity
and saving the empty air with it's tuft-
ed tail as it crouched preparatory to
springing.
Many men among the audience, used
to the ways of wild beasts, saw and
comprehended, but only one man pos
sessed the knowledge and the presence
Of mind to avert the apparently inevi-
table. Pursuing up his lips as though
he were going to whistle, he emitted a
horse, low, rasping hiss.
The beast heard and understood, for
the sound was an exact imitation of
the noise made by the giant constructor
when it's huge body is coiled for the
throw that never misses, that never re-
lakes and that no beast of the field is
strong enough to withstand. Again
and yet again the raucous sound rasp
ed the stiffness, and the angry brute
drew back its head. its great eyes grew
small and dull, the hackles rose and
stiffened on its back, and it covered,
whining, on the floor of the cage.

The road winds along the river bank
with many sharp curves. Exposed as
he was, he received dust, smoke and
cinders full in the face. The burning
cinders from the smokestack cut and
blistered him, and the wind came near
sweeping him off.
At TOwanda he could have left his
perilous position, but he set his teeth
and held on. At Tunkhannock he was
almost exhausted, but he was only 20
miles from home. When the junction
was reached, he was so weak and
cramped that for a time he was COM

Cownrdice OF Sharks.

Many tales have been told of how
human beings have been deyoured by
the fish that is known as the imam
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated, they are to
a certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have been known to follow
a ship for days, picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
as waste

liness Of sharks is well known among
men who have been much to sea in
southern waters. The fercest shark

lands the natives never go bathing
alone, but always in parties OF half Il
dozen or so, In order that they may
make a great hubbub in the water and
thus brighten away the sharks. Once
in awhile too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and forgets to
keep up his splashing. Then there is a
swish, and the man eater comes w
from under him like a flash, and he is
gone.

Curing Glover For Poultry.
Glover seems to be the plant that
poultry delight most to indulge in. 1t
contains elements for the growth of
bone, feathers and muscle in young
stock, and production Of eggs with
hens. 1t is excellent for hens during
molting, making them more able to
stand the strain on their system. Care
