this government be not only prepared to
send troops into China in force but to
have some definite plan for them to
follow after they have reached Chinese
territory
1t is conceded at the war department
that If there is a general outbreak 1t will
be necessity to send large force into
China, perhaps 15000 or %, 600 men, Many
of these will go from the Philippines,
and whatever others are needed will be
sent from the United States The troops
in the Philippines will be the first to go
to China. There are now between 1000
and 10000 American soldiers in the Phil
ippines. Some of these will be forced to
remain in the archipelago for duty there.

partment that 1t will take only few
American soldiers and the native scouts
to handle any trouble which may arise
in the islands
III troops should be taken from the Phil
lppines for service in China the force in
the islands will doubtless be strength
ened by the addition of troops from the
United States. thus keeping a strong force

The state department has had no recent
adVices concerning the situation in China.
A dispatch came to the department from
MI Rockhill, the American minister at
Pekin, today. but he said nothing in it
concerning the situation with regard to
an anti-foreign outbreak. Neither did he
mention the reported illness or death
of the Dowager Empress.

UNIVERSITY CLUB ORGANIZED.
Alumni at Tuskegee Elect officers-R.

Tuskegee, March 4.-(Special 1.-THE Tus-
kegee alumni of the University of Ala
bama met yesterday afternoon at the law
office of r. H. Powell and perfected an
organization to be known as the 'Uniyer-
sity club of Tuskegee. The purpose of
the organization is to bring into closer

both of the town and throughout the
state, and to work in connection with
other similar clubs for the upbuilding of
this state institution.

ell agrees to provide such ordinances as
are necessary to release to the county
any right title or interest the city may
have to any portion of the land on which
the proposed building will be erected.
Warrants will be issued to provide
finances for the new structure. No trou-
BILE will be experienced in raising ample
funds as already a number of capi-
talists have offered to take care of the
financial end of the building at a very
low rate of interest.
While no definite plan for the build
ing has been agreed upon, il Is very
likely that the house will be a two-story
structure and it is proposed to be built
entirely on modern plans, with steam heat,
electric lights and water.

STRATEGY PLAN Is

GOVERNMENT PREPARES FOR
POSSIBLE INVASION OF CHINA.
STAFF COMPLETES SCHEME
FOR COPING WITH UPRISING.

New York March A Washington
special to the New York Sun of Satur-
day says: THE general STAFF of the army
has completed the preparation of d plan
for an invasion of China, which Is now
before President Roosevelt. It was sent
to him a day or two ago. The details
of the scheme, which is advocated by
the best known strategists of the Ameri-
can army, are withheld of course, and
NO one outside a very few knows just
what is contemplated in the event of
trouble in the Chinese empire.
While it is acknowledged at the war
department that such a plan has been
prepared, the officials say that there is
nothing of any great significance about

the statements that the general staff is
constantly making preparations for con-
tngencies, no matter how remote, and
that the war college is continually work.
ang out plans which would be used in
the event of trouble between the Uni
ted States and any other country 1t is
asserted that such plans are made for
trouble even with the greatest friends of
the United States.
President Roosevelt will doubtless study
the plan with care, and if there are any
changes suggested by him they will be
considered by the war experts. While
on the surface the war department seems
TO have pursued the ordinary course of
its way with regard to the Chinese situa-
ton, the army officers in Washington
have been very busy with the plan,
which will be used in the event of an
outbreak against foreigners in China.
The we'll known fact that it would be ex-
ceedingly disastrous to send a small force
into China on account of the betterment
during the last few years of the mill
tary of the empire, well as the in
creased fighting efficiency of the native,
has made it absolutely necessary that
