ominous news from China, received
recently at the state and war depart
nent, in private letters to officials,
has been confirmed in secret dis
patches. 1t Is believed here to-day,
though no official statement can DC
obtained.
The war department denied that
any orders had been sent to Manila
instructing that troops be held In
constant readiness. bat 1t was stated
that there was always danger. and, ia
effect, that the troops were always
ready for such an emergency"
About $4,000 troops are now In the
Philippines and could be brought into
action. The Asiatic fleet, now in
Chinese waters. could land marines
on moments notice. II is freely
admitted that both the navy and army
are ready for an emergency, but the
officials assert that this is nothing un-
usual.
Minister Calhoun at Peking has
kept the state department in close
touch with the situation. and no ei-
fort ls made TO conceal the fact that
there liz constant danger of an uprising
OF similar character 10 the Boxer re-
volt of ten years ago.
Secrecy Necessary.
