WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. The
proahlllty of increasing American
forces in China along tho railway
from Peking to tho sea, because of
the withdrawal of troops of nations
engaged In the Kuropcan conflict, is
being considered by the war depart
ment. '
The railway and legations were
guarded by troops of tho United
States, Great Urltaln, Germany, Aus
tria, Russia and Belgium. Many of
these have been ordered out since the
war began and tho United States
probably will supply tho necessary
additional guards.
When tho war broke out the
United States, at the request ot the
foreign powers, extended tho Ameri
can troops to guard the lino from
Pekln to Mukden. Major Genoral
Harry, commanding tho Phlllppln de
partment, went to China to inspect
tho arrangement and reported that,
tho guards seemed sufficient. The
general opinion here is that the 806
American troops now stationed in
China wil bo sufficient.
