Government Preparing For Eventualities In China. PLANSTO SEND 20,000 MEN TO MANILA Sheuld This Cenatry Be Forced to Ast Alone au Pert en Chiness Coast May Be Held Fer Indemnity. WAEHINGTON, March 2 —-The Unit- ed Statesgovernment has prepared a plan of armed action in case of an antifor- eign outbreak In Chipa. Notwithstand. ing official avowals that conditions In the Chinese empire are not such as to cause present alarm or grave appre bension, the men in charge of the fight ing forces have gone steadily forward, preparing a plan of campaign to meet a crisis which many of them belleve to be Imminent . It is the intention to send 20,000 troops from this country to join 5.000 regulars from the Philippines, the com- blued bodles to form the expeditionary forces. It is the belief of the officials who have studied the situation In the east that it will be dangerous to de plete the Philippine force by more than 5,000 meu. There are in the United States, in Youud numbers, 15000 Infanirymen, and to make up the required number troops of cavalry are to be dismount: od to add to the Infantry force. In lery as can be spared and one battery of siege guns (seven inch pleces) will be a part of the forces dispatched. The Sixteenth (siege) battery, com- manded by Captain J. P. Hains, now stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, has been fixed upon for this service. This plan for sending 20,000 men to China in case of trouble has been made solely with the view of having Amer ican troops act with the forces of the sens may be in danger. The war de partment is advised Ly its experts that to act alone In making a successful ad. vance on Peking would require the services of pot less than 100,000 men and that the dispatch of a smaller force would be to invite disaster. Should this country, bowever, be forced to act slone, the plans as pre pared coutemplate a jolot movement of the army and navy to seize one of the great Chinese ports, which could be held for indemnity.
