AMERICAS PREPARATIONS.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Minister Con-
gers daily report was even less encOur-
aging than usual. In his cablegram to
Secretary Hay this morning he said that
the situation was unimproved; that the
burning of railroad plants continues, and
that, owing to the inertness of the Chi
nese troops, 1t will be necessary to employ
foreign troops to protect the railways.
The state department has not deemed it
necessary to send a specific authorization
to Mr.. Conger to employ the naval forces
ashore ait Tien Tsin and Pekin in guarding
the Chinese railways, and he is expected
to use his own discretion in that respect.
Admiral Remey informs the navy de-
partment that the gunboat Nashville, with
force of marines aboard, left Cavite yes

gunboat of the same type as the Helena,

place of the latter. The Monocacy, at
Shanghai, also has been ordered to join
admiral KemDf at Taku.
