the war department has sent orders to
General Chaffee to Still further reduce
his force. The general now has un-
der his command about 1,S00 men,
composed Of Troops l. X, l. and NJ,

Although nomlnally legation guard,

General Chaffee in the selection Of the

the department that dispatches an

the arrangements have not yet been

this cannot be done before the ice

will leave Picking with these troops, is
to relieve General Macarthur of the
