CHICAGO, Jan. "A dispatch to the

The attitude of the Chinese toward for

leave this vessel in the orient
There is no change in the purpose OF
the president to increase the battleship
squadron in Asiatic waters by two
vessels during tho coming spring.
The Chinese situation was discussed
at the cabinet meeting yesterday, and

commanding the military division in
the Philippines, that he was to be rc-
inforced, in order that he might al

should be menaced. Two regiments of
infantry and two batteries of field ar
tillery are going from the United
states at once and should reach Manila
by March /.
The administration docs not antici-
pate any uprising before that date. but,
as an official said. it is utterly impos-
sible to predict when the Chinese may
attack the foreigners. The only thing

this is the view of the president and
the entire cabinet.
The troops at Manila will be within
fifty hours of Chinese territory, and if

force in the southern part of the en-
pire there will not he the long delay
which would enable the Chinese to pre-
