General Nelson A. Miles, who came here to witness a test of the recently invented ordnance, in an interview regarding the Chinese question is quoted as saying: "Our government will be prompt to act in that matter as soon as the true situation is learned. This country will be equal to the emergency and when decisive action is taken it will be of such a character as to be effective. The trouble in China is most serious and the result is most difficult to predict. What is likely to result from the uprising is certainly a very serious proposition."
