US. Soldiers to Guard R.R.
From Pekin to Sea.
HAS NO POLITICAL MEANING
Under the Boxer Treaty America
Was Accorded the Privilege
re of Maintaining Force
Along Railway.

Washington, Nov 16. The state
department has practically decided to
send a regiment of troops from Ma
Mia to Chinwingtao, a seaport in
China about ESQ miles from Pekin, ON
the Gulf of Pechili.
The purpose is to perform an in
ternational duty under the Boxer
treaty in keeping open the line OF
communication between Pekin and the
sea
II was said at the state department
that request for the troops has not
yet been made on the war depart
ment. but IL was momentarily expect
ed The officials were careful to make
it appear that the dispatch OF these
troops to China would be absolutely
without any political meaning and the
movement was not to be construed as
Intervention.
Under the treaty which terminated
the Boxer troubles, the United States,
with other powers, was accorded the
privilege of maintaining military
force along the line of railway be
tween Pekin and the sea in order to
guard against such an event as the
siege of the legations during the
Boxer uprising.
Beyond the maintenance of ma.
rine guard of 100 men (only recently
and temporarily increased to 200), the
United States has never availed itself
of this permission, and it has fallen
to the lot of other nations--principally
Great Britain, France and Japan-to
maintain small garrisons along the
line of the road from Tien Tsin to
Pekin. 1t is felt that ii is now incum-
bent upon the United States to per
form its part Of this duty, hence the
decision to employ some troops to
supplement the marine guard.
The fact that the force to be dis.
uatched will be limited to one regi-
ment is in itself an indication that
there is no intention on the part OF
the United States government Of in.
dulging in any large military demon
stration in China. or of taking sides
in the present great struggle for su
premacy between the imperial forces
and the revolutionary party, and 1t is
declared that no designs upon Chinese
territory are entertained
Rear Admiral Murdoch, commander
in-chief Of the United States Asiatic
fleet, has transferred his flag from
/ the Rainbow to the Albany, which Is
smaller vessel, and changes his base
from Shanghai to Nankin.
AS the Rainbow draws 26la feet Of
water and the Albany only 16 feet. II
is believed the change was made ti
enable the commander-in-chief to pro
coed up the Yangtse river to near the
troubles in the interior.
