Lord Charles Beresford during his tour in
China in the autumn of 1898 had some eX-
ceptioHal opportunities Of examining the
condition of the Chinese soidiery. and this
estimate Is based upon his report TO the
British Government:

is the capital. tho army of General Yuan

ford to he the only army complets In all

TtIng and Huan from which parts come the
best Chinese soldiers. The army was Chi
nsse. pure and simple. The infantry We're
armed with Mauser rifles OF German make.
the cavalry carried lances and rifles and
the artillery consisted Of ten batteries OF
different calibers. throwing from one-pcund
TO siX-pound proj-ctiles. In the neishbor-
hood of PelSin itself there were at that
t.me-October. 1S9S-about 1900 men we'll
equipped with modern A1ausers, Krupps and
Maxims. In addition about 800 well-trained
soldiers arc scattered over the disturbed
districts. to say nothing Of the 10000 ir-
regulars, who are more or less identified
with the Boxer movement.

New York, June 22.-One hundred marines
under hurry orders for the Philippines will
leave the navy yard Sunday for Washing
ton. There they will be Joined by another
large detachment and will proceed on Mon
day to San Francisco, where they will take
a transport for Manila.
The War Department sent out orders two
days ago to collect as many men as possible
for the East from all the navy yards.
Twenty-Five men from Boston and about
the same number from the Portsmouth
Navy Yard arrived in Brooklyn to-day. II
Is expected that there will be go men with
the additions from Washington, Philadel-
phia and the Norfolk stations The COM
mand will be known as the Fourth Bat
talon.
AS the orders stand at present these men
are to take the places in the Philippines
made vacant by the transfer of men from
there to China. The men expect. however.
that by the time they reach Manila they
will be sent right through to the seat of
trouble in the East.
A number Of sailors have also been or
dered direct from New York to San Fran
cisco, and they viii make the same trans
port with the marines.

MINISTER WU DISGUSTED.
He Figures That Current Reports

Washington, June 22.-Contenting himself
with an expression that many of the re-
ports regarding conditions In China, and
especially at TIen-Tsin- are willfull mis-
representations designed to injure the Chi
nese in the eyes OF the world, the Chinese
Minister is awaiting with absorbing inter-
est some definite information.
How absurd the statement that 500 for
eigners in Tien-Tsin have been killed he
said. in a tone of disgust why, there are
not that many foreigners In the city. When
j was there. several years ago, their num-
ber did not exceed several hundred. No: I
am sure those reports must be all wrong.
Nor do l understand the statements re-
garding the bombardment of the city. or by
whom it is being doue. We must wait fof
some definite news before arriving at a
conclusion as to the exact state of affairs.

"POWERS NOT FULLY AGREED"
Result of Inquiries Made at En-
bassies in Berlin.

Berlin. June 22.--Whether the Powers in
terested in China will ultimately reach an
agreement regarding concerted action. IT
seems to be certain. judging from the re-
suits of investigations made to-day by the
correspondent Of the Associated Press. that
no such agreement has yet been re e1ched.
The same series Of questions was put sue
cessively TO the German Foreign O.fice and
TO the Russian and French embassies. The
German Foreign Office said:
The Powers Just now are agreed as to
the three points only. the relief of Tien-
Tsir and Pekin. adequate satisfaction for
the severe injuries European interests nave
tees against the repetition of such OUT
RACES. Beyond this the attitude Of the
Powers will largely depend upon what has
really happened In Pekin, which is still
unknown to Europe

same as that of the German Foreign Of
flee. except on two points. The Ambas-
sador said. with much emphasis:
The Intervention OF the Powers in China
must under no conditions, mean a Settle
ment by war Of old scores with the Chinese
Government. and It must not embrace gov
ernmental reorganization. Especially. it
must not include a change In the head of
the Government. Even II the Chinese and
the international armies come into col
Gsion these considerations must never be

The French Ambassador. Marquis De
Noaiiies. expressed different view. While
substantially coinc!dng with the pro-
gramme Of the German Foreign Office. he
insisted that the removal OF the Empress
Dowager and her clique would be neces-
sary to secure the permanent results which
the Powers desire.
