AMERICA is PREPARED
Narships and Transports Held Ready
for Outbreak in China.

Washington, Feb. 19.-There is q
growing fear In diplomatic circles here
that China eventually may take hand
in the war in spite of the governments

There is believed to be grave dam
ger Of an uprising against foreigners
all over China as we'll as a general
movement against the Russians. or.
1t is stated on the best of authority
that this government will keep all its
heavy battleships, including the Ken
lucky, Oregon and Wisconsin, and the
monitors Monterey and Monadnock,
together with it's gunboat fleet, close
TO the naval base at CaVite, ready for
any emergency.
In San Francisco harbor there is be-
Ing held six fully equipped transports
capable of carrying more than 6,O0U
men and supplies to China.
In addition, there is available ships
of the Pacific squadron, including the
flagship New York and the cruisers
Boston and Marblehead and gunboats
Bennigton, Concord and Petrol.
The action of the navy department
IN holding its ships ready is regarded
here as significant and it tends to beal
out the feeling in diplomatic circles
that trouble in China is only ques'
ton Of time.

on the first shot fired by the enemy, the

sumed that several vessels of the enemy S

Our losses were: Of the squadron,

There is absolutely no truth in the ru-

Unless Whitman takes a brace in
football that college will eventually be
dropped from the list of contestants.
Such is the note counded from the
State university at Seattle which has
already concluded to take the Walla

means that the showing by Whitman
