WITHDRAWAL OF THE
AMERICAN TROOPS
A Accommodating Evidence of the
Lack of Harmony Among
European Powers.
WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAY

While They Believe the Recommends
ton Is Based on Military Considera.
tions There Will Be No Immediate
Withdrawal Unless There Is Speedy
Change In Existing Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Major Gen.
eral Chaffee has recommended that the
United States troops now in China be
withdrawn so soon as all the Americans
in Picking have reached places Of safety.
His cable dispatch advising this and
accommodating evidences Of lack of har-
mony among the powers were the main
subjects of discussion at Fridays cab
met meeting. The president and all the
members of the administration IRE anx-
iOus to get the troops out of China at
the earliest possible date, but there will
be no immediate Withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops unless there is an Immediate
change in conditions.
There is disposition in administra.
ton circles to believe that General Chat
fees recommendation was based on mil.
itary considerations alone, and that he
did not take political conditions into ao-
count when making it, though there is
reason to think that his dispatch was
sent after consultation with Minister
Conger.
The withdrawal of troops will be re-
quired if, through the declaration of
war against China by one or more of the
powers, a condition should arise which
would, temporarily at least, interfere
with the accomplishment of the objects
which the United States had in view in
cooperating with other nations.
