Preaching Doctrine Of Asia for Aslatics.
WASHINGTON, Jan. o.-At the War Depart
ment to-day official approval was given to
the viey taken that the reason for the large
increase in the force Of American troops
in the Philippines recently ordered was
the disturbed condition in China.
ON December % orders were issued direct
ing the First and Second regiments OF
infantry and the Eighth and Thirteenth
batteries of field artillery to proceed from
their present stations to the Philippines
division. The First Infantry will sail from
New York and the Second Infantry and
the two batteries of field artillery Will
depart from San Francisco. In connec-
ton with the admission that there is in
dcation enough Of future trouble in China
to warrant the sending OF troops, 1t was
stated that while there we're no recent
symptoms Of an ani-foreign NJ r.sing In
China, yet it certainly seemed that such
thing is quite within the range Of possi-
biities, and in case it should come the
nited States proposed to have enough
troops to protect American interests every
where in China and at the same time leave
"a sufficient force in the Philippines.
The orders were originally issued soon
after the serious outbreak against for
eigners at Shanghai, and Government
officials here were great concerned over
the outcome Of that affair. Shanghai has
since become quiet, but there is feeling
of unrest throughout the empire, This
has been shown clearly by the adviCes
which have been RECEIVED at the State
Department from China. Men who have
been in that country have seen the cond-
tiors, and warnings of all sorts have come
into Wa ashingtOn.
In the event of the outbreak the United
States prov oses to he fully prepared to
do its full share to protect Foreigners.
Other countries will become involved, too,
and the future Of China will rest on the
result
The Deorle of China. according to the
views Of a man prominent in the Govern
meht here, seem to he awakening. They
are taking a greater interest in the Govern
meut Of the country than ever before.
The Niceroys and Governors Of provinces
are not now the diCtators they formerly
were, and their actions to very consider
al 10 extent are governed by the feelings
of the Ueo' le.
That the nat ives generally are growing
in their antagOnlsm to fore!g has been
amply demons raced by the boycott and
the events to which that movement led. in
Cluding the dis, urbanCes at Shangh al.
There were also massaCres at LienChau,
but these were not attributed to he boy
colt, alt hough the general feeling of hatred
produced by the anti-AmeriCan movement
must have had something to do with the
killing Of missionaries.
In the sout hern part Of China there have
been indicai ions of trouble, This Is re-
Earded a. perhaps he most omnous lndlca-
tiou of all, for that par; of the empire has
always appeared much more conservative
IN its treatment of fore igner, han any other.
II i learned that the German Govern
ment j. Just IA. apprehensive as the Govern
ment here. Their Interests in China are
much greater than those of the United
States. and the feeling against Germans
is also greater, although the avera O. Chinese
native does rot know the nat !onallty of

To great extent the general ant !-foreign
feeling IL due to the Chinese who have been
