resent nearly all OF the principal CONNER
cial nations Of the world Russia, Ger
many. England. the United States. Italy,
Austria, Denmark, and France have ships
on that station, and with a world wide
anxiety for the safety Of foreign mission
aries and the preservation OF commercial
interests, il Is natural that the protectors
of commerce should steam toward the
point where trouble threatens, the State
Department officials say.
At present the protected cruiser Newark
is caring for American interests at Taku.
The remainder Of the fleet Of fifly-five
ships, mostly in the Philippine Islands, is
FIVE days distant. but, OF course, could
be summoned in an emergency.
Russia has at Port Arthur the guard

ships, and five more are 10 be added this

one vessel on the station. France has u
vessels. Germany s. Italy 9, and Portusal
