Tho tat department baa heard further from Mr. Rockhlll, our special com missioner at Pekln, touching tbo ef fort making there to roach an agree ment respecting the Indemnity to bo demanded from a Chines government Mr. Rockhlll principal effort acting under direct Instructions from Sec retary Hay, is to Indues tb ministers of other powers to keep down tho total of their claims to tbo amount which tho financial exports, heaoea by Sir Robert Hart, havo decided to be within tho ability of China to pay. The United States government haa felt that the total Indemnity claimed should not exceed 40,000,000, and has steadfastly sought to make that figure the outside limit or too ciaim. For Itself, tbo state department claim $25,000,000 Indemnity, and It has sup plied Mr. Rockhlll wiin aat xor xaa nreaentatlon ot an Itemised account showing tbo expenditures mads by th eoveroment for transportation ox our military contingent in unina, iu maintenance there and tho lust claims of th missionaries who were Amerlcsn cltltens and suffered in property and person from the Boxer outbrea. ln Its anxiety to avoid op pressing China and to secure a .peeay settlement of tbo Chines question, the United States government stands wllllna- to make a heavy cut in it claim, provided the other nations rep resented st Pekln win also anaio xnoir claims in proportion. It Is entirely possible. If Mr. Rockhlll can inauc) tho other minister to make a cut of 60 per cent in tbelr Indemnity he will do o, tbougn tne apparent reauiv bo the loss to tho United States of $12,600,000.

Mr. Rockhlll had aatlafled himself that the Chinese government was ab solutely sincere when It pleaded Ina- blllty to punlsn mis freax general anu Prince Tuan In the full measure de manded by tbo powers.
