U. S. WAITING ORDERS.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Orders for the dispatch of a regiment of United States soldiers to China from Manila were awaited, today, by the officials of the War Department, who were given notice, late yesterday, by the State Department that men would be needed.
 Army officers said that the move could be executed in quick order. Preparations have been proceeding quietly for more than two weeks for exactly this purpose. It was decided today, at the War Department, that no Filipino troops will be sent to China even if soldiers are needed. It is feared the presence of the Fili- pinos would arouse the hostility of the Chinese.
 Even though the avowed purpose of sending troops 10 China is pro- tecting the Pekin-Tientsin railroad in cooperation with soldiers of other powers there are already ominous rumors that an American regiment would not be welcomed. Suspicion or the motives of this government has been aroused, according to reports reaching Washington, not only in the minds of the Chinese but other pow CTS.

Receiving information pointing strongly toward the fact that Alexan- der Robins, the eight-year-o boy who has been missing since Saturday y is somewhere in the strip of woods north of the almshouse, in just the vicinity where the body of the mur- dered Mastroianni boy was found, Su- perintendent Birmingham this morn ing assigned Motorcycle Policemen Gorgas and Daily to make search of the woods, and this afternoon Detec- tive Arnold and 8 squad of officers joined in the task
 The latest information leads the au- thorities to fear that the missing boy has shared the fate of little Philip Mastroianni, perhaps by the same bru- tai hands. The man who lured the little Mastroianni boy into the woods north of the almshotse, then commit ted a f1endish assault and murder, was never captured. The fact that the eight-year-o Robins boy disap- peared under the same circumstances into the same clump of woods gives rise to the fear that the half-craze human brute who committed the first crime has found second victim.

 United States District Attorney Wilkerson demanded that the writ of habeas corpus which the jurist granted to nine packers, on Tuesday, be Quashed on the ground that the de- fendants had not complied with the regular form of procedure.
 Wilkerson alleged that the petition for habeas corpus writ was a demand, merely to delay the trial, and that the "re-arrest'' of the defendants was pretended. He related how the nine packers had surrendered to the mar shal and not in open court, as the practice requires. When the defense attorneys sought to gain still fur ther time in the present hearing, in order, they said, to prepare affidavits supporting their side of this question, Judge Kohlsaat, on request of the

Special from United Press.)


 Tokio, Nov. 16.-According to of ficial messages received by the Jap- anese Admiralty, today, the entire Chinese navy has surrendered to the revolutionists and the imperial gov ernment is now without war vessel worthy of the name.
 The naval surrender is regarded as the greatest blow that has been struck the Manchu dynasty as it will place in the hands of the revolutioniSts power to sweep the great rivers of China and to transport troops along the waterways without danger.
 The Japanese messages come from Chin Kiang and declare that the sur render took place, Wednesday, when 12 cruisers and gunboats were for mally turned over to the rebels at Chin Kiang. Three were surrender ed at Tai Yeh, one at Gee Foo and six others in the lawer Yangtse Kiang river. As the messages came from Japanese officers who have been de- tailed to watch the progress of the insurrection they are regarded here as authentic.

The Worth of the Voice.

How wonderful Is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul Of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing Of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.
