for the evacuation of China by Amer

removed from China the last of ApriL
The dispatch to General Chaffee ia
Pekln is as follows r
"Adjutant General's Office, March. 15,
Chaffee, Pekin: In reply to your

complete arrangements to sail for Ma

cers by the end of AprU, leaving as le

field officer especially qualified to com
mand guard. Retain and instruct
officer quartermaster's department to
proceed to erect necessary buildings
far guard according to plan and esti
mates you approve. Colonel Charles
F. Humphrey on arrival will make an
inspection of quartermaster's depart
ment, Philippine islands, until July 1,
when he will be assigned to duty as
chief quartermaster at Man Ha and
Miller ordered to the United States.
All stores and supplies not required
for legation guard to be disposed of
in your best judgment, cf course.
Serviceable supplies needed in Philip
pine islands will be sent ta Manila. Di
vision of the Philippines will furnish
supplies for legation guard. MacAr
thur notified. CORBIN."
It was said at the war department
that this clears up the Chinese situa
tion so far as the war department is
concerned, as the protection of the le
gation can in no sense be taken as an
occupation of Chinese territory, and
the guard cannot be used for any othar
purpose.
The transports Sumner and Indiana
will be sent to Taku to take the troops
in China to Manila. These troops con
sist of the Ninth infantry, four troops
of the Sixth, cavalry and the light bat
tery formerly commanded by Captain
Reilley. Two transports will bring
away the U00 animals which have
been used by the army in China.
General Chaffee has- advised the de
partment that the best place of em
barkation is Taku, which no doubt
wilL be clear of ice on the date fixed
for departure.
