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.

Ho reported Nome very quiet anil

After one month no money could bo
