INSTRUCTIONS TO
CHAFFEE PREPARED
WASHINGTON, June 23. — Secretary
Root devoted the afternoon to the prepar
ation of instructions to Brigadier General
Chaffee, who has been assigned to the
; command of the troops ordered to China,
and after a conference the President ap
proved \ them with only a few verbal
changes, which -did not alter their gen
eral character. Although Secretary Root
would not make public the text of the
Chaffee instructions he said that gener
ally, speaking General Chaffee had been
ordered to look out for the. lnterest of the
United States in, China, to avoid en
tangling alliances, to. act concurrently
with the other foreign powers where It
; was to the general Interest to do so and.
In' a word, to continue the policy that has
'marked" the actions of the United States
.'slnce.the beginning of the Boxer troubles
In China. These instructions will be tele
graphed to General Chaffee at San Fran
cisco .in . order to reach \ him . before the
departure of the Grant on Sunday even-
Ing. Secretary Root said that In case the
progress of events made It necessary It
would be an easy matter, to modlf y. Gen
eral "Chaff cc's Instructions' by 'cable' to
Nagasaki, which would be the first port
visited i by the Grant' after her departure
from San Francisco.
Secretary Root was asked If any more
troops would be ordered to China and he
replied, "Not yet." but intimated that the
"further action of the War Department In
that matter would be governed entirely by
the exigencies of the situation. To-day's
instructions are supplementary to his
original orders "to proceed to Peking by
way of Nagasaki tin d Taku."
GERMANY PREPARING
FOR A LONG CAMPAIGN
BERLIN, June 29.— 1t Is evident that the
German Government expects the disturb
ances In China to last for a long time, in
asmuch as all volunteers Joining the. naval
battalions for China have been pledged for
service until the autumn of 190 L The ex
pedition will take 2200 tents, each to serve
for two men.
Bishop Anzer, the German missionary
Bishop at - Shantung, who has been in
Europe for several months, will leave Ber
lin in a few days to rejoin his mission, go
ing by way of the United States. Consid
erable comment has been caused by the
failure of. Emperor, William to grant him
an audience during this vfsit. which is said
to be. due to the, fact that the Bishop's
.views do not coincide with the Emperor's.
PREPAREDNESS OF NAVY
FOR ANY EMERGENCY
WASHINGTON. June 23.— A sign of the
preparedness of the navy for any emer
gency that may, arise in the East Is ex
hibited in the alacrity with which Admiral
Bradford, chief of the equipment bureau,
has taken steps to maintain an ample sup
ply of coal In 'readiness at convenient
points for naval use. " Almost before, there
were any general misgivings as to the. re
sult of the Boxer movement In China the
equipment bureau was looking over the
colliers purchased . in the Spanish-Ameri
can war and since lying out of commis
sion at the navy, yards, with a view to
loading them up at once for foreign ser
vice. Steps have been taken to anticipate
the arrival cf these ships in Chinese
waters by diverting nearer cargoes of coal
to Admiral Kenny's support.
The Navy Department to-day received
news of the arrival at Singapore of the
Ataka, with 6000 tons aboard. She ia from
Norfolk for Manila and put Into Singapore
for orders. She will probably be diverted
to Taku, carrying her cargo to Admiral
Rezney. _
TI3EE FOR A MASSACRE.
HONGKONG. June 23.— A river boat
which has arrived at Wu Chow reports
that It was detained for twenty-four
hours at Wu Chow Fu by order of the
British Consuls in order to afford protec
tion for foreigners. The gunboat Robin

placards had been posted at -Wu. Chow Fu
saying the time had now arrived for the

The British gunboat Sandpiper. It was

SHANGHAI, June 23.— 1t is reported

The Oregon was launched on October

15, 189 C. On the approach of hostilities
with Spain she was ordered- to the At

15,000 ' miles, down to and through the

Two Irishmen, who took out JIQ.CCO apiece
at Topkuk. hired two guards to escort them
to Nome City. On their way up they mistook
two posts r.ear an Indian village for two road
agents and It was quite a little tims before
they discovered their mistake. The joke finally
got out at Nome and the two felt very cheap.
Very little work is now being done on Nome
beach, as everything is staked by the trans
portation companies end private individuals.
Many pieces of land have been Jumped three

Some of the claims have turned out as well as

At Nome they are paying $1 per hour for
unskilled labor and 25 cents for five gallons
of water. Fuel and lumber at the present time

Unlucky -Vessels.
The Zealandla brings the news that the
Ohio was not the only . vessel to reach
Nome with smallpox aboard. There were
two cases on the Roanoke and one on the
Santa Ana. all of which went north from
Puget Sound. The vessels and their pas
sengers were sent to Egg Island, where
they were still in quarantine when the
iZealandla sailed.
The barge Falkenberg, which started
,for Nome in. tow of a Sound steamer, was
abandoned at sea. Later she was picked
up by the steamer Lakme and towed to
Nome, where both vessel and cargo wero
sold by the agents of the steamer.
The barkentine 'Catherine Sudden and
her cargo were sold by the agents of the
steamer Corwin. Vessel and cargo will
be a total loss to the owners, as a genera
tion of litigation would not get them back
a cent. Might is right at Nome, and the
man with the gun carries the aay.
The transport Rosecrans that was re
ported by the Portland as ashore on a
mud flat was towed off by the tug Meteor
and* was safe at Nome when the Zealan
uia sailed. The Government vessel with
all the supplies for the : soldiers aboard
went hard and fast on the mud during
the night of June. ls. The steamer Valcn
cJa came along and trlf-1 to rendor as
sistance, hut she also ijot into shoal water
and had to sheer off. The captain of the
Valencia offered to take the crew of the
Rosecrar.s off. but the, captain would not
abandon his ship.
Later the Alaska Kxploration Company's
tug Meteor came along, and Inside of an

A private letter which came down on

two shooting affrays which occurred at
Nome recently.
On June 18, A. G. Lucas, a watchman
for the Alaska Commercial Co.. while
guarding some land for the company, was
accosted by J. Lyons, another claimant.
The men became involved in an alterca
tion and Lucas shot Lyons, the bullet
taking effect In the man's stomach. Ly
ons was also armed, and fired five shots
at Lucas, all taking effect. Lucas died
instantly. Lyons* wound was fatal, and
he died the following day.
The other shooting scrape occurred in
a saloon. A stranger in Nome, who had
arrived on June 20, got into a fight on
the same day and was shot and instantly
killed. The trouble was the result of a
gambling dispute. The name of tha mur-4
dered man had not been learned when

There was only one row on the steamer
