General MacArthv6's7 objection VIII
he Respected tbyI the Administra-
tion-Cabinet pmcer's View.

There will be no further Withdrawals OF
troops from the philippines for service in
China. That is the policy determined upon
and that will be adhered to-
A cabinet Officer today made this state
ment. and then added:
General MacArthur's dispatches on the
necessity of retaining there all the troops
save those already under orders are clear.
1t would be unsafe to take any more
away
Then under no circumstances will the
forces in the Philippines be drawn on?' he
was asked.
Il am not going to say that any conclu-
sion reached is an absolute ffnality. but
this much Is positive. No development In
the situation Is apprehended such as will
call for change in this policy as to our
troops In the Philippines In the present
light of events
We do not anticipate any extra session
Of Congress- he said
What if Minister Conger and the other
Americans are found murdered" he was
asked.
I'VE are proceeding at this present mo-
ment on the assumption that our people
are murdered. l do not see why that
should necessitate an extra session. An

the connivance Of the Chinese govern

Il do not believe an extra session Of
Congress would necessarily follow
What about the decision Of the COM
manders of the International forces that
$4,000 troops are necessary for the cam

the Manchurian border the reply was:
This may complicate the situation.

war between the Chinese government and
Russia. The matter is between those two
governments. We have nothing to do with
it. We do not know, either, what the actual
facts are in the case"

while congratulating him upon these COM
mendable purposes, reminded him of his
pledges to protect foreigners and to pre-
serve peace in southern and central China.
Earl LII replied that he must obey the
summons to Pekfn, but that he had taken
all necessary precautions. He added that
he had received important cables from Lord
Salisbury and NJ. Delcasse, demanding pro-
lection for the foreign ministers In Pekin,
and threatening 10 take life for life of the
high officials responsible II the ministers

he was the only man IN China who dared

and in very poor health and it Is a great
personal sacrifice to undertake such a Jour

After moments thought, he said. IF
your ministers are killed, do you think nv
life may be taken in retaliation while en-
route?
This question received general strong
negative reply. He then asked the consuIs
to wire to their respective admirals to re-
spect his own flag and allow him a safe
conduct to Pekin. He was evidently extra

He added that he realized his govern

cablegrams from Lord Salisbury and M

he received them. He concluded by asking
the cooperation of the allied powers in fur

emphatically that he depended upon them

Mr.. Hand has taken working bond
on the group, the payments to be made
within two years. Mr. Hand states that
the main ledge which runs through the
full length of the property is traceable

capitalists are prospecting with diamond
drill. He states thot the ledge is 70 feet
wide and that the general shafts and
crosscuts OH the property has more than
demonstrated its value The ore is low

The values thus far obtained show an
average of per cent copper and $IS. in
