non hna not yet advised tho Navy depart
mcnt of tho name of tho vessel selected
to proceed from Manila to Tahu In accord
nnee with the request of tho State depart
racnt that a chip bo Bent to China to safe
guard American Interests.
It Is alil at tho State department that
the extent ot tho ngltatlon In China has
been much exaggerated. It Is asserted that
an a matter of fact thcro Is no more dis
turbance In China now, as a wholo, than at
any time during tho past twenty yearn. Hut
tho concentration of tho world's ntteiulon
llnwcrv kingdom has had tho
boon dispatched to Hons Kong for the pur
pose' of convoying to Manila tho monitor
Monaduock, that has been docked at liong
Kong.
It Is expected at the Navy department
that Admiral Watson will select a small
Kunboat to meet Mr. Conger'a request. Con
trary to tho first Impresalon this vessel Is
going to China, not to operate In Shan Tung
province, but to got as near to tho United
States legation at Pekln as possible, to
glvo weight to the minister's utterances.

WASHINGTON, March 10. Colonel Pat
ten of tho quartermaster general's office to-
effect of magnifying llttlo troubles In tho I day completed arrangements for the ship-
various provinces out of all proportion to
their real Importnnco and eignincance.
This !s said to bo truo as to this last
demonstration by tho "Iloxers." This U a
secret society of nntl-forclen tendencies
and Is tho successor to a long lino of ;i!8t
Biich socletlcH that havo preepded it. Usually
tho societies aro more annoying than dan
gerous to foreign Interests, but somotlmos
they dabblo In politics, as is said to uo tho
ca'eo with the "Iloxers," and thus threaten
lnteroferonco with largo foreign policies.
Minister Congor's cablegram to tho Rtato
department ubout u week ago whllo refer
ring to these "Boxers" and suggesting tho
advisability of sending a war Bhlp to en
euro tho American missionaries from at
tack, did not refer to nny Imminent out
break, nor did tho minister havo anything
to say about our "open door" negotiations
being Jeopardized.
Tho State donartmont rather Inferred
from' his cablegram that tho ship was
wanted for Its moral effect rather than from
nny expectation that It would bo called
upon to render activo service. Indeed, if
that bad been tho case, tho department
would never havo felt warranted in Bunding
n single gunboat to China, It Is quite cer
tain that only one vessel Is destined for
ment of about $1,000,000 worth of clothing
and equipage to Manila for tho uso of tho
troops in tho Philippines during tho next
six months.
Thcso shipments will bo made by way of
Now York and San Francisco by tho first
available transports and are In response to
cabled requisitions from Colonel Miller, the
depot quartermaster at Manila.
Among the principal articles cabled for
aro 130,000 khaki coats, 172,000 pairs khaki
trousers, 100,500 pairs russet Bhoes, CO.OOO

Omaha was dust swept yesterday morning.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the wind arose and
within half an hour It had reached a
velocity of thirty-six miles an hour a speed
exceeding that of tho average fast passen
ger train. The most disagreeable fcaturo ot
tho wind was the clouds of dust It carried.
At ono time the dust and other rubbish was
so thick along Farnam street that It was
Impassible to distinguish an objest 100
feet away. Street signs were blown to tho
ground, light vehicles wero almost over
turned, and In several Instances plato glass
fronts were shattered 'by Hying debris.
Tho wind seemed to como from tho west,
yet it had a freakish way of twisting about
so that It took effect from every direction.
Many women pedestrians sought shelter in
stairways to await a lull In tho storm and
even strong men were whirled about as
though they wero mado of kindling wood.
This cyclone of dust came on as suddenly
as though It were a real cyclone. The sun
shono brightly through It all. On tho street
cars thcro was an avalanche of Hying rob
blsh every tlmo a door was opened and pas
sengers found It difficult to get uboard. The
wind was so strong that showers of dust
wero sent through tho car ventilators. Tele
phone wires rnn riot with their song of tho
wind nnd for hnlf an hour or longer 'pnoue
communication was conducted with great
difficulty. Great plies of dust and litter ac
cumulated on the sidewalks like so many
sno drifts, and merchants In tho retail dis
trict found It necessary to carry their street
displays Inside tho houses. Later In the
day tho wind calmed somewnai.
