During the last thfee weeks thero has been a rush of men who desired to enlist such as recruiting officers have not witnessed since the war with Spain was "at its height. Men who desire to avenge the Americans murdered in China swarmed around the three recruiting offices in this city yesterday. Every one wanted to be sent to China post haste, and at least one of the many who could not pass the physical examination wept bitterly. _ Major Wheeler, who supervises" the work done by the branch offices, said yesterday. when seen by a reporter: Floor - - - * • - $4.75 Reverse at Tien-tsln.

These, with the troops sent to China from the Philip pines, will bring thi American army representation on ChfflCBe soil up to more than 10,000 men. It was decided also that several additional regiments be sent from the United States and Cuba. It is impossible for the war department at i this time to definitely determine how manf; American troops will be assigned to Chinese service, but a very conservative estimate-is 15,000, or 5,000 more than those already there or preparing to go there. To (these should be added 1,200 marines, making 17,000 men in all to 6e placed on Chinese soil.

The selection of the troops to go from this country will depend on ipquiries now being made by the adjutant general as to conditions at various military stations. Practically all the troops that could be with safety taken from the United States have been designated for service in China, and great care must be exercised in selecting the bthers. It. would be unwise, for example, to withdraw the garrisons at forts near Indian rabervatfons, and there are other coastderatftoes to be regarded of which the government cares to say nothing. y Are invited to make this store your slopping headquarters If/ during July and August, by mail or in person.

There the remainder of her cargo will be discharged and a carcfnl examination will be made to loam the extetft of the work needed to restore her. An officer of high rank would ordinarily be sent to command a force of 15,000 men, and General Miles has suggested that Major General James C. Bates be s&t from the Philippines to take charge of them. No determination has been reached in regard to this recommendation, but the war department would prefer that Brigadier General Adna R. Chaffee be retained as the commanding officer of the American forces on Chinese •oil if such retention will not act to the detriment of the interests of the United States through having a general officer of the junior grade serving there. The original intention was to send only a brigade of troops to China, and it was while this was the plan that General Chaffee's assignment was made. The American troops to go to China under present arrangements will constitute a division, calling for the assignment of a major general. General Chaffee was selected to go to China because he was considered to be the best roan In the army for the command. Unfortunately there is no vacancy in the list of major generals of volunteem to which he can be appointed. It la not likely, however, that he will be displaced. Other general officers will be ordered from the Philippines to China, but care will be exercised that these are junior to General Chaffee. One of thes» will in all probability be Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant.
