AMERICAN FORCE In HAVANA.
Sailors Landed from the Denver, but Immediately
Ordered Back to the Cruiser.
CAMPED IN FRONT OF PALMA,S PAL ACE
Commander CoSel Acts Without Instructions from Washington
Small Legation Guard Remain Ashore

Washington. Sept 13.-The sailors landed
from the cruiser Denver at Havana have been
ordered TO return Immediately 10 the vessel. ex-
ton. The landing was not made under instruc-
lions from Washington. and the recall Of the
sailors announced here tonight
This action followed the receipt of report by
Acting Secretary Bacon from Mr.. Sleeper, the
American charge dafraires at Havana. regard
ing the landing of the men. 1t was announced
shortly afterward that the sailors were landed
from the Denver solely and simply for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of American
citizens; that such action was in pursuance OF
discussion between Mr.. Sleeper and the naval
commander. with the belief that 1t was a wise
precautton looking to the protection OF the lives
and property of Americans. There was no inten-
tion'to do otherwise than to safeguard American
interests. and the services Of the sailors we're to
be utilized only in case of disorders within the
city which threatened such interests That the
landing in any way contemplated the protection
Of the Cuban government, the insurrectionary
government. President Palma or any other
PERSONS tnan American citizens was denied Oft-
cially. and it was pointed out that this fact
could not be emphasized too strongly.
Mr.. sleepers dispatch reported the landing OF
the sailors and explained the purposes OF the
landing as stated above-that there was no pur-
pose of protection of anybody or anything ex-
cept American lives and property. The an
nouncement that the sailors had been ordered
back TO the ship. except for the small legation
detachment. followed from the White House
soon after the receipt of Mr. Sleepers report.
That the landing was a complete surprise to
the government here was evident That IL was
not under Instructions from Washington also was
made plain but the reasons that actuated Com
mander Colwell were set forth in his dispatch
1t was distinctly stated today that the quiet
preparation of other vessels looking 10 possible
dispatch to Cuba does not contemplate interven-
ton. and that there would be no landing parties
except in the event OF rioting when interna-
tiOnal law demands restraining action By any
neutral ship present in port but it is realized by
this government that by some unexpected act OF
either of the contending forces the American gov
ernment might be obliged to carry out the pro-
visions of the Platt Amendment.
Acting Secretary Bacon was at the White
House for some time tonight and took the I2 80
train for Oyster Bay.

Relations With China.

Private advces of an impending anti
foreign uprising in China have been dis
quieting enough TO make our State De-
partment somewhat apprehensive in re-
gard TO the safety OF American residents
there. Two regiments of infantry and
two battalions Of artillery are now ell
route to the Philippines, in order to be
in easy reach in the event OF any trouble.
a third regiment is now booked for early
transportation TO Manila. All this, to-
gether with the alarm" OF the admins
tration over existing conditions in tho
Celestial empire have been frankly and
freely detailed in the daily newspapers
No doubt there is reasonable ground for
the administration alarm, and reason
able justification for its desire to be
forearmed The curious thing about our
attitude in the premises is our absolute
Indifference as to Chinas feelings. We
are treating China as we would treat,
perhaps. no other power on the globe.
If news OF threatened anti-foreign dis
turbances In Russia. say, should be fol-
lowed by such frank military prepara-
lions in this country. it seems obvious that
a rather grave situation might arise. Rus
STA certainly would not be slow 10 point
out our breach of etiquette. But 1t seems
10 be the opinion at Washington that al
most any kind of procedure is good
enough for China.
China, unfortunately, appears to have
become rather painfully aware Of this
sentiment An the United States. Stirring
at last under the impulse OF a naacen,
national spirit she has begun to resent IT.
Unfair determinations against her under
cur alien laws have elected her vigorous
protest which found concrete expression

( goods. Our trade with China has iallet
