AMERICAN POLICY UNCHANGED. Still Endeavoring to Reduce the Amount ol Indemnity, San Francisco, May 24. Tlio prcsi-1 dent and Secretary of State Hay have beou in constant communication with Washington during all their journey West. Dispatches from our foreign embassies have been con tinually arriving, and the Chineso situation bns received special atten tion. Tho president has been anx ious lest the difficulties throiy in tlio way of an arrangement of some of the pwuers might lead to indefinite delay and a consequent increased indemnity bo exacted. In regal d to tho total amount of the indemnity tho president has con staiiiy endeavored to moderate tho, demands of tho powers to an amount which China might pay without financial ruin or territorial dismom bormcut. Ho has thought that $200,- 000,000 was tho maximum amount indicated by the best authorities consulted, and he has proved tho willingness of this government to make sacrifices in tlio interest of China and tho restoration of former relations by cutting down our already moderate claim ono half if other powers would admit a proportionate reduction. Theso propositions havo not been accepted by tho other gov ernments, though Great Britain lias shown a disposition to it considerate treatment of tlio affair. As to the method of paying tho indemnity, none of the propositions thus far submitted suits President MoKinlcy. Two weeks ago he pro posed that each power should accept for its share of tho indemnity tho bonds of China at par and witli inter est at 3 per cent, provision for meet ing the interest and for eventual pay ments being taken form the liken, tlio salt duties and increased import taxes. The attitude" of tho British govern ment, as set forth in tho recent sjieeclies of its representatives in par liament, indicate that Gieat Britain, though not willing to go so far as this country in moderating tho de mands of tho powers, is inclined to accept ours, which, if adopted, may bring tho negotiations to a conclu sion, FLOODS IN TENNb88EE. sWul-Ai.-. -i ..ssuii &&&& bamMs Dose.
