The minister s somewiiat coucerneu otf in iirineine about a nnal adjust ment and also on the current reports Uu.t tho Indemnities reach a very .arise Itgure, which, lie tears, win u icyoad the aunny oi vmu iu u.v.. Minister Wu said tn response to in quiries on these subjects: . We have been accustomed to hear that China was very slow. But in this case many weeks and months are go ing bv without any delay attributable, to China, so far as I bavd heard, and y't without tienniie prtiie bringing the negotiations to a close. This unsettled condition is very in jurious to China, out u awo i u . injury which affects the whole world. Take, for instance, the cotton indus try of the South. The shipments to China are very large, but they have been falling off owing to tno uun tied condition of affairs, and the trade Is seriously menaced. The amo may be said of many otner orancnea or trade, in fact, the commerce of all the commercial nations of Europe, as well as America, is Injuriously affect ed by the political uncertainty of L conditions In China. What we need, and what the commercial world needs, Is stability, and some definite under standing of what conditions are. "Aa to the question ot indemnities, I receive little direct information. But 1 regret to see from some of the published reports that the total in demnity Is reaching a very large sum. It. should be borno in mind that China herself hss suffered losses through the recent disturbances which will retch to manv millions, and for which she can not hope to receive Indem nity. So thivt. If the claims of the powers nsgregnte 3314,000.000, as I see. stated. It probably would be an under estimate to say that Chinas own losses would reach twice that unmnnt. Bsv 2G00.000.000. In the ag gregate, China will be shouldering a burden of colossal proportions, and this will come after t'je country has passed through a most trying experience. An American Navy Washington.
