WAR DEPARTMENT
WAIT TAFT'S WORD
Ready to Rush Troops to china--Yuan
shi kai Forms a Ministry With
the Manchu Mobiles Out.

Washington, Nov. 17.--Not soldier
will leave the Philippines for China.
except upon orders from President
Taft
Such orders have not yet been CIV
en-, and it is said that before acting
the president will confer with Secre-
tary of War Stimson and Major Gem
eral Leonard Wood, chief of stan.
In anticipation of the issue of the
order, the war department has made
every preparation for speedy move
ment of the regiment from Manila to
Chin Wing Tao on the railroad rum
ming from Pekin via Tien Tsin to
Mukden
The organization which will be sent
has not yet been selected, and 1t
seems probable that Major General
Bell, commsnder-in-chief of the Phil
ippine division, will be allowed to ex-
ercise his discretion.
Asked to Send Troops.
Representations were made in an
unofficial manner to the State depart
ment several days ago by some of the
foreign ministers in China through
the American legation that 1t was in
cumbent upon the United States to
furnish troops Al part of An interna-
t;onal police force to keep open the
railroads from Pekin to the sea and
also to protect foreigners in the event
of anarchy.
State department dispatches show
that the financial situation in China
fast is becoming critical: that there
are less than four million taels In the
treasury (probably equivalent to about
1000. 000). including gifts from court
funds. Fear is expressed that IL the
loyal troops are not paid they will re-
volt or disband.
Of1cials regarded the accession to
the premiership of Yuan Shi Kai and
the Initiation by him OF q program Of
Cancellation as indicating the restora-
ton OF better conditions. The war de-
partment. however, is prepared for
any action required OF 1t.
Reassuring Advices.
Some Of the reassuring advices re-
ceived by the state department came
through the Chinese legation. For in
stance, 1t was stated that, incident to
the assumption Of the premiership by
Yuan Shi Kai, an edict had been is
sued inviting various provinces to Sc
lect representatives to confer in Pc
kin at an early date with view to
coming to an understanding as to the
form of government to be adopted.
Another edict was issued naming
three imperial commissioners, among
them Chang Chen, a noted Chinese
scholar, to visit the provinces to urge
concerted action and acceptance OF
the concessions made by the throne in
the nineteen articles providing for a
constitutional monarchy. which were
originally drafted and demanded by
the northern army, Endorsed by the
national assembly and approved by
the throne.
