LONDON, March Capt. Pakenham,
Naval Attach6 of the British Embassy
at Toxic, has communicated to the Ad-
miralty general particulars Of the newest
battleship Japan is building at Kure, re-
garding which remarkable secrecy has
been observed. Capt. Pakenham says the

tall masts, fitted with light steel fire control
platforms. and carrying lower courses.
topsails and ~topgallant sails.
The vessel will be Of 10 900 ton burden
and will nave a speed of twenty-one knots.
Her armament will consist principally of
heavy guns, and her armor will be massive.
She will have IN overhanging schooner

to man the two battleships now being COM
pleted at Newcastle and Barrow. 1t is
understood that Japan will place nc more
orders for warships in Great Britain at

FRANCE READY IF WAR COMES.

Special Gable Despatch to THK sun,

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sun.
PARIS, March 2.-During a debate on the
Army budget in the French Chamber Of
Deputies to-day, NJ. Etienne, Minis ter of
War, announced that a council of national
defence will soon be organized on lines
similar to the British committee OF imperial
defence.
"Our s%trongholds are in good condition, 4"
he continued. THE rumors of defective
supplies are unfounded. All the necessary
measures have been taken. The decree
establishing the council of national de-
fence is now in the hands Of the Premier,
and the Supreme Commander has already
been chosen. He is an officer Of moon
testable ability and possesses the full con-
fidenoe Of the army
1t was explained later that this state
ment was not to be taken as bearing on
present international affairs, but was sim
ply the Minister'S answer to criticisms
of the budget.
During the discussion Of a proposal that
the Minister of War permit army officers to
bring actions in the civil courts, NJ. Auf-
fray, Socialist, and NJ. Jaures, Nationalist,
became involved in a personal exchange Of
abuse and the sitting was suspended. Later
NJ. Jaures sent his representatives TO make
arrangements for a duel.
The journal to-day asserts that investi-
cations by its correspondents show that
while the Germans do not expect war their
army is modified and ready for a quick
invasion Of France.

started on a holiday that will last six or
eight weeks. He will spend three days
in Paris and a month at Biarritz, after
which he will cruise in the Mediterranean.
BERLIN, March 2.-Despite reports Of a
coming meeting between King Edward and
Emperor william, it is certain that there
will be no meeting between them as long as
the Moroccan conference is sitting. The
most probable time for the meeting is the
end Of April and the place Greece, on the
occasion Of the Olympic games at Athens.
MADRID, March 2.-Ex-Queen Christina

tan, where she will act as hostess when
King Edward visits King Alfonso there,

State one. King Alfonso may possibly
return his call at Biarritz with the same
privacy. 1t has been asserted and denied
that King Alfonso is going to Versailles
to see Princess Ena next week. II is now
reasserted, and the report is apparently
true.

interest of over $4,000, bringing the total
judgment up to $20,Os5.

CHINESE DYNASTY IN DANGER.
PLOTS IN THE CAPITAL AIMED
AT TEE MANCHUS.
Dowager Empress Forced to Dismiss Her
Chief Eunuch m AnViser-Both Sides
Trying TO Enlist Foreign SupDOrt
-Nceroy Ready TO Protect Legations.

Special Gable Dispatches to The SUN.
LONDON. March 3.-The latest dispatches
from Far Eastern correspondents confirm
the belief that the dreaded troubles in
Pekin n the north have an anti-dynastio
rather h an antl-foreign basis.
The Pekin correspondent of the Tribune
describes the situation in the capital as
extremely curious. Both factions, Chinese
and Manohus, are ooquetting for foreign
support. If a coup d'etat is attempt ed,
Viceroy Yuan Shin Kai, who lately placed
troops to repel a Manchu attack, will inn
mediately post sufficient patrols to pro-
tect the legations and keep the mob in
check, when a change Of dynasty, it Is ex-
pected, will be accomplished without inter-
ference.
1t is reported from other sources that the
Dowager Empress has been compelled to
submit to pressure from high officials and
dismiss her chief eunuch, LII Yien Yang,
and thai the situation is quieter. The
police have abandoned their rifles, which,
officials say, were served out to them to
show the Governments readiness to protect
foreigners, although it is reported the real
reason was that a revolutionary attack was
feared.
The Toxic correspondent Of the Telegraph
quoes Foreign Minister Kato as saying
that the situation in China is less serious
than Is generally believed.
BERLIN, March PA semi-official tele-
gram was received here to-day from Shang-
hal dealing with the situation in the Chinese
Empire. 1t says that up to the present
the Chinese population has, on the whole;
been perfectly peaceful, The reports Of
an impending anti-foreign movement which
are now coming in from outside the country
are, however, becoming known to the people
and are producing among them a state Of
nervous excitement which, If further cause
is given, may lead to actual outbreaks.
PEKIN, March 2.-Li Lien-Ying, until
lately chief eunuch of the palace and trusted
adviser Of the Empress D~owager, is sus-
pected OF being the chief instigator Of the
recent bomb outrage. He is closely con-
fined in the Forbidden City.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The American
g%unboats Elcano and Quiros have arrived
at Kiukiang on the Yangtse River, whittier
they were hastily ordered Immediately after
the massacre Of missionaries at Nanchang.
According to reports which have been re-
oeived at the State Department, the refugees
from Nanchang, including at least fourteen
American missionaries, nave reached Kiu-
kiang and will doubtless be taken on board
the gunboats and transported to Shanghai
or some other point IF safety.

STRATEGY PLAN FOR CHINA.
War Department Is Preparing for a
Possible Invasion.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The General
staff of the army has completed the prepa-
ration Of a plan for an invasion of China,
which Is now before President Roosevelt.
1t was sent to him a day or two ago. The
details Of the scheme, which Ia advocated by
the best known strategists of the American
army. are withheld Of course, and no n
outside a very few knows just what is o N
templated in the event of trouble In the
Chinese Empire.
President Roosevelt will doubtless study
the plan with care, land If there are any
changes suggested by him they will be con.
sidered by the war experts. While on the
surface the Wal Department seems to AVE
pursued the ordinary course of its way with
regard to the Chinese situation; the army
officers In Washington have been very busy
with the plan which will he used In the event
Of an outbreak against foreigners In China.
1t is conceded at the War Department
that II there is a general outbreak it will
be necessary to send a large force into
China, perhaps 5000 or 10000 men.
Many Of these will go from the Philip.
pines, and whatever others are needed
will be sent from the United States. The
troops in the Philippines will be the first
10 BO 70 SIlnh, lDtT6 are now DeUW66u
1900 and IL, 200 American soldiers in the
Philippines. Some Of these will be forced
to remain in the archipelago for duty there.
although it is believed at the War De-
partment that it will take only a few Ameri-
can soldiers and the native scouts to handle
any trouble which may arise in the islands.
II troops should be taken from the Philip
pines for service in China. the force in the
islands will doubtless be strengthened
by the addition Of troops from the United
States, thus keeping a strong force In
the Philippines at all times. What regi-
ments viii be sent from this country to
the Far East. in case it becomes necessary
to take this step, Is not known, although
1t is contained in the plan which has beer
made.
The State Department has had no recon.
advices concerning the situation infChina.
A despatch came to the Department from
Mr. Rockhill, the American Minister at
Pekin, to-day, but he said nothing in 1t
concerning the situation with regard to
an anti-foreign outbreak. Neither did he
mention the reported illness or death Of the
Dowager Empress.

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, March 2.zBy a vote
of 10 to IA the Board Of Supervisors Of Orange
county have decided against a project to
construct one of the State roads as desired

the towns Of Blooming Grove, Monroe and
Chester by an entirely new route, ignoring
the old highway and passing for the most
part through a swamp and by only two
houses, while the old road passed by four
teen.
The opponents Of the new road say that
1t was proposed for the benefit Of the Harri-
man Automobiles and without regard to
convenience of the farmers There was
a spirited debate on the question before
final action was taken, there being a dis
position on the part of some OF the Super
visors to IA vor the Hartman route be-
cause OF the interest Hartman has aiken
in the good roads OF the county.
