w|THDRAWS FROM CHINA
After Next Month America Will
Have Only Usual Lega-
ton Guard.

Washington, March 15-An order
was sent to General Chaffee today for
the evacuation of China by American
troops, leaving only a legation guard
OF $50 men. The troops will be re-
moved from China the last of April.
1t was said at the war department that
this clears up the Chinese situation
so far as the war department is con
cerned, as the protection of the lega-
ton can in no sense be taken as an &C.
cupation Of Chinese territory and the
guard can not be used for any other
purpose.
Teh transports Summer and Indiana
will be sent to Taku to take the
troops in China to Manila.
The troops consist of the Ninth in
fantry, four troops of the Sixth ceval-
ry and the light battery, formerly
commanded by Captain Reilly. Two
transports will bring away the LOO
animals which have been used by the
army in China.

Bloomfontein, March 15-Prisoners
who have lately been released by Gen
eral DeWet say they think he is a
mailman. They aver that the terrible
fatigues he has undergone, his INK
ieties and decrease of his following
have unhinged his mind.
Apart from this view of General
DeWet's mental state some Of his pc
%culiarities are discussed without the
bounds of his camp. He remains
alone with a few trusted followers.
Thus the orderlies of his subordinate
commanders are frequently unable to
find Kim in order to receive orders.
His secrecy is exclusive. He imparts
his plans to no one.
General DeWet ridicules the peace
negotiations which are going on.
He has declared openly to the men
under his command that no terms, ex-
cept independence will satisfy him.
A recent utterance attributed to Cen
eral DeWet is that the British hated
the Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of DeWet during
the last two or three days is unknown,
Q is it known whether Steyn is with
him,

Grating Native Chapel After Despoiling
Women of Personal Trinkets.

Pekin. March 15-It was reported
at the United States legation by the
Rev. W. S. Ament, of the local staff
OF the American board of foreign mis-
sions, that the Germans had visited
the prosperous market town of Nau
Ming, 60 miles from Pekin, and COM
pletely looted it and that they had
also ransacked and desecrated the ma
tive Christian chapel and despoiled
ome of their trinkets, even taking
the rings out Of their ears, and gen
orally ill-treating the natives.
The attitude of M. de Giers, the
Russian minister, regarding further
punishments is delaying the demand
OF the ministers of the powers upon
the Chinese and the matter has been
referred to the home governments.
Rockhill, American special COM
missioner, says that personally he is
in favor of drawing a clean sheet over

Piled to them.
1t is explained in a foot note that
the former republics have been an

are nov only colonies of an empire.
The United States is the first power
to recognize the annexation, all other
powers having taken the stand that
recognition is not in order until they
have had formal notice. which Great
Britain has not yet given them. Boer
sympathizers are considerably wrought
up over the fact that the United States
should be the first to accord recogni-

could be seen views of some of the
beautiful scenery to be found in va
rious sections of the country.
There were two ordnance build
ings, built alike, and each 60x150 feet.
These contained exhibits showing the
country in the manufacture of guns
and ammunition. The old style guns
were shown together with those of
the latest patterns. There was a
large display of small pistols and
everything between that and the large
field guns. Between the two build
ings there had been erected a large
coast defense gun of the disappear
ing kind, showing how our coasts are
protected.
The Fine Arts building was 10Sx221
feet and was so constructed as to be
absolutely fire proof. This vas sur
rounded by beautiful statuary. One
piece of statuary which brought tears
to the eyes of many was that repre-
senting a scene at the battle of Ell
Caney in Cuba, in which a young man
was lying dead with his musket be-
side him; over him stood another
young man apparently gazing far
away. The incident was one which
actually occurred and a certain war
correspondent sent an account of it
home. His words relating to the
scene were inscribed on the base of
the statue and were as follows:
THE soldier saw that the end nae
come, laid his handkerchief over the
face, and got slowly up. Know him?'
1 asked. My BROTHER he calmly
said, and then he gazed off to the
hills with a far-away, thoughtful look
and l could see that he was looking
into some home wondering what
mother would think"
The Fine Arts building was filed
with the handiwork of masters of art,
the exhibitors including sculptors,
painters, engravers, etchers and
architects. There are said to be
about 900 pictures in oil, water color
and pastel which were greatly ad-
mired by lovers of art.
