FAR EAST AFFAIRS
STILL CAUSE FEAR
Secretary Taft Says Government Is
Not Disposed to Take any
Chances.

Although no fresh news has been
given out at either the State. War, or
Navy Departments on the situation in
China, the Administration continues TO
be apparently alarmed over the possi-
bic outcome of the boycott on American
goods and the general anti-foreign feel
ing.
While Sir Chentung, the Chinese min
lister, declares that there is no danger
of an outbreak. it is believed in diplo-
matte circles that this Government is
taking the utmost precautions, and
Germany is equally as active in prepar-
Rtions TO safeguard her interests there
More Regiments for the Philippines.
1t was rumored today that plans al
ready are on foot in the War Depart
ment for four more regiments 10 be
sent to the Philippines early IN the
spring. aside from the two regiments
of infantry and two batteries of artil-
Iery, which three weeks ago were or
dered to proceed on the journey to
Manila about February ].
Il would like to deny that report in
the most emphatic language | can COM
mand. There is not a word OF truth
in il. Since I returned from the Phil
ippines / have not received one word
from there regarding the possibility Of
disturbances
Everything is quiet and there Is no
sign Of an outbreak I have no new in
formation concerning reasons for alarm
over the situation in China, but, at the
same time. we do not propose to take
any chances. Our policy is TO be pre-
pared"
A dispatch from Manila states that
the transports Meade, Fitzpatrick, and
Mcclellan are expected 10 arrive within
the next few days with troops from the
states. and that it is understood that
they will remain there to provide
against an emergency requiring the
transportation OF troops TO the Chinese
coast.
