Negotations affecting details on this principle are, according to the Central News, proceeding between Peking, Wash- ington and London. CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—A special to th Times-Herald from Washington says: The United States has demanded from the Governments of Russia, Germany and France assurances that in their division of China into zones of political domina- tion or spheres of influence, the trade rights of citlzens of this country shall be fully respected. These demands are pretty sure to be acceded to, and as soon as the necessary correspondence can be passed with the W ington and the three European capitals it is not doubted | that the desired assurance will be given | by the Governments named. In fact, a tacit understanding to this effect already exists and little remains to be done but to decide upon the form in which the assur- ances shall be given. There was some lit- tle surprise In_diplomatic circles when the demands of this Government were ugh the emb: sies here, but no sign of extreme displeasure or of in- tentlon to resist was manifested in any quarter. This move for making sure of trade in China, for assuring ourselves that all our treaty rights would be respected under the proposed rear- rangement of actual authority along the coast of China, was entered upon by the administration in no light or casual man- | ner, but only after full discussion and careful consideration of all the possibili- tles. Mow that there is practically a cer- tainty of a successful issue it is felt that a great stroke has been made for Ameri- can trade and influence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—The Journal’s | Washington correspondent says: The South Atlantic squadron has been ordered —or soon will be ordered—to the scene of the South African hostilities. Secretary Long so declared to-night. It is the se ond great development from this coun- try’s standopint in the European crisis, and, strangely enough, follows yester- notification Great Britain of for a partition of the Samoan group. The attitude of this country, one of hos- tility to the German proposition and Ger- man pretensio as to Samoa, cannot fail to be regarded as of the greatest signifi- nce. The ropean concert, evidently | desirous of getting a practical illustration | of this country's attitude, is credited | with having impelled Germany to make the first test. The result is that the | United States has demonstrated her | friendilness to Great Britain, thus veri- | fying the prediction that the United | States would maintain the statu quo in | Semosn. | Secretary Long was found at his npnrt-‘ ments in the Portland. | “Yes,” sald Secretary Long, in response | to a question, “Rear Admiral Schley will be ordered to East African waters. The | squadron will be increased to whatever extent the situation demands. I do not , as at present advised, that a larger | squadron than the Chicago, the Montgom- ery and the Wilmington is necessary, but, | as I have sald, there may be contingen- | cles which would make it advisable to | largely add to these vessels.” | Secretary Long denfed that Rear Ad- ! miral Schley had made a request for a | larger squadron. “But,” d he, “T pre- | sume any commanding officer going to the East African coast at this time would prefer to have a representative squadron.” It is the understanding that if any of the larger ships be sent it will be the Texas. With the Chicago, the Mont- gomery, the Wilmington and the Texas, | four or five of the smaller cruisers would constitute a representative squadron. The feeling at the Navy Department that it would be well to have a large American squadron _cruising off East Africa is a It s un- btained in that con- | rowth of the last few days. & W tedly based on the new oub = ‘ashington and from Europe presence of a larger body n that neighborhood.

The battle- ship Massachusetts will leave her pres- ent anchorage off the foot of Forty-sec- ond street, North River, at that hour and will proceed to the lightship near Sandy Hook.
