GUARDS ARE DOUBLED.
Are Preparing for Troubles in China at
Any Time,

Pekin, Feb. 26.--The guards around
the Forbidden City have been doubled
since Saturday afternoon, and all the
palaces and residences Of high officials
are especially guarded. The police, who
have hitherto carried batons are now
armed with rifles. All the officials who
are accessible either refuse any infoyma-
tion or profess ignorance oi the reasons
for the precautions that have been taken,
and as a result many rumors are afoat
The reports Of trouble within the pal
acc cannot be corroborated. but they
probably are founded on gossip, for
which Pekin is always d hotbed or are
based on the strengthening Of the pal
ace guards.
The city was never quieter There
has not been the slightest sign of feeling
shown against foreigners, nor have the
foreigners here any appreheusions. Sew
eral parties from the foreign legations
are taking advantage Of the mild wealth
er to make long excursions into the
country.
The canard that Saturday had been
designated the day for disturbance ap-
pears to have einnnated from the United
States. kilograms describing the mill
tary preparations Of the American gov.
eminent for trouble in China have been
widely published in the Chinese news
papers and are considered as decidedly
unfricndly.
