 New York. Feb. i4.--The Presbyter-f ian board of foreign missions in this city, in consequence Of the embark ation of American soldiers Tor the Fhit- ippines for possible services in China, has warned its missionaries to use the cable in reporting the anti-foreign movement of the natives and to keep in touch with the nearest treaty ports in case of trouble.
 'sThe chief cause of anxiety, saio Robert k. Speer. secretary of the board last night, ''is the constant spreaains of wrong ideas of the treatment or the Chinese In this country. Stories are being circulated through China of the massacre of Chinese in America, ana they have their journals as we nave them here. But they have not the in- telIgence we have and the storles have a greater percentage or believers We knew of the Presidents intention to send troops to the Philippines weeks ago. ,..,o.,o. may use as refugee places are Canton shanghai.

Fairclough, the antf-Amer- ican and anti-foreign feeling Tn Nortn China is very bitter and believe ltds more bitter than it was at any time during the boxer year
 "The feeling was very strong When iaft the Anhui province in December. If was caused by the stories of iiltreat- ment of ChInamen in America and the exclusion law. Tn the inland towns the merchants are selling no American goods, and I know of cases where Chinese have burned their stock or American merchandise rather than have their countrymen know that they had them in their possession
 Tt Is not the same anti-foreign feel ing as that of the boxer year. It comes out of what they believe is patriotism. The Chinese are anxious to get thelr properties into their own hands.
