to the situation at Pekin. many officers still
feel hopeful that the Chinese affair can he
settled without any very serious change OF
the political status of the country. at least
in its relations with the outer world.
The State Department is much gratified
with the attitude of the powers. So far as
it is informed. there is no difference OF
opinion or intention among the different
powers respecting the Chinese situation
Their object is simply to restore peace: pro-
tect life and property. and leave all fur-
ther questions for future settlement. So far
as can he gathered. there is not a dissenting
voice among the powers in answer to the
proposition made by the United States to
limit the operations of the foreign armies

gram. and if there is contrary purpose en-
tertained anywhere the particular power

substantial money loss in doing. BY the
act of May % last Congress provided
that United States troops duty in the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba should
be allowed 10 per cent additional for Off
GERS and - per cent additional pay for
the privates. Up to that time the pay de-
partment had been paying the men the
same bonus under the act of April pr 1898,
which permitted war pay to soldiers serv
ing outside of the United States. The pay
officers regarded the latter act as taking
the place completely of the former. so as
China Is not one of the places specified
where additional pay may be given the
9th Infantry will lose a very substantial
sum of money by being called into extra
hazardous service Unless war is declared.
