Uncle Sans Big Vessels in AsIatic Waters
That Are Idle VIII Return to the
United States.

Washington, May ct is proposed
to cut down the naval force on the
Asiatic station, and many of the ships
now attached to the fleet in the Phil
ippine waters will be recalled, espe-
cially the larger vessels. The smaller
vessels, such as gunboats and the sec
ond-class cruisers, will be retained on
duty. This is a result of an inquiry
which Rear Admiral Crowinshield
has made into the duty being dis
charged by vessels on that station.
It was found that of the so odd ships
now in Asiatic waters, nearly so of
them were Ioafng in Manila harbor.
He was highly incensed at the situa-
ton and said if there We're not work
for these ships to perform abroad
they might as well be brought home,
especially as many of them need re-

Movement.

Conger was formally welcomed to

to the address of welcome Mr.. Con-
ger, referring to the boxer movement
in China said: 'tBut there is a his
tory connected with this affair which
have not seen in print and about
which I will tell you. The organizA-
ton which is known as the boxers
has been in existence more than 100
years, but had long ceased to be of
Importance. Two Buddhist priests in
the province of Shan Tung, some time
in the year 1899 revived the organiza-
ton, or made an organization which
Some have said it was a patriotic or.
ganization, but it was in fact at the
outset a religious movement. The
priest who was the head has since
been captured, tried by a German
court and executed. 1t has been
learned since the suppression of the
boxers that the organization was EN-
tirely religious" The minister dc.
clared that during all of the time OF
the siege there was the fimsiest pos
sible veil between the legationers and
death. 1t could have been brushed
aside with one charge, he said, and
would have been if the Chinese had
courage In some way they were
filled with fear and never made tbs
charge.
