PEKIN, April 9. The Russian Minister to China, M. de Giers, responding to the letter from Prince Chlng and L.1 Hung Chang regarding Manchuria, merely re fuses .to hold further communication with them upon the subject. The Mongolian Prince Olaskan, father-in-law of Prince Tuan, proves to be an Important factor in the rebellion now in progress. He urges the rebellious troops to march on Slngan Fu. Chinese know ing General Tung Fu Slan say the Em peror brought the rebellion upon his own head when he published the edict threat ening the General with future punishment. On account of his present power and in fluence. General Tung Fu Slan would not permit this, and naturally desired to prove that power. He has the entire Moham medan population with him. Prince Tuan also has a large following, while Prince Olaskan controls the entire Province of Mongolia. The German Minister, Dr. Mumm von Schwarzensteln, entertained all the Min isters at a dinner today in honor of the anniversary of the birth of Count von Waldereee. TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS. The American Claim for Indemnity Mar Be Cut in Half. WASHINGTON, April 9. The State De partment has heard' further. from Mr. Rockhlll, our special commissioner at Pe kln, touching the effort making there to reach an agreement respecting the Indem nity to be demanded from the Chinese Government. Mr. Rockhill's principal effort, acting under direct instructions from Secretary Hay, Is to Induce the Min isters of other powers to keep down the total of their claims to the amount which the financial experts, headed by Sir Rob ert Hart, have decided to be within the ability of China to pay. The United States Government has felt that the total Indemnity claimed should not exceed 40,000,000, and has steadfastly sought to make that figure the outside limit of the claim. For Itself, the State Department claims 525,000,000 indemnity, and It has supplied Mr. Rockhlll with data for the presentation of an Itemized account show ing the expenditures made by the Gov ernment for transportation of our military contingent in China, its maintenance there and the Just claims of the mission aries who were American citizens and suffered In property and Rerson from the Boxer outbreak. In Its anxiety to avoid oppressing China and to secure a speedy settlement of the Chinese question, the United States Government stands willing to make a heavy cut In Its claim, provid ed the other nations represented at Pekln will also abate their claims in propor tion. It is entirely possible. If Mr. Rock hlll can induce the other Ministers to make a cut of 50 per cent In their Indem nity he will do so, though the apparent result be the loss to the United States of 512,500,000. The Administration is satisfied that the great danger of the situation at Pekin lies In delay. Had the present representations of Mr. Rockhlll been heeded, the officials are confident that the formidable rebel lion which has broken out under the lead ership of General Tung Fu Slan in Shen SI Province would never have occurred. Mr. Rockhlll had satisfied himself that the Chinese Government was absolutely sincere when it pleaded inability to pun ish this great General and Prince Tuan In the full measure demanded by the pow ers. It is thought here that modest de mands could have been met by the Chi nese Government and the rebellion avert ed. The Indemnity question has also con sumed an unusual length of time, and If It had been settled several weeks or even months ago, the present difficulty, It is believed, would have been impossible. It Is the hope, therefore, of the officials here that Tung Fu Slan's movements will stim ulate the lagging Ministers at Pekin to final action. If It does not and the court Is obliged to flee from Slnan Fu and the great Tangtse Viceroys are overawed by General Tung Fu Slan, as seems entirely probable, then all China will be plunged Into anarchy, In the estimate of the offi cials here. DIFFERENTLY VIEWED. How the German Press Sees Rus sia's Backdown in Manchuria. BERLIN, April 9. The latest phase of the Manchuriah question Is very differ ently judged by different sections of' the German press. The Frelsslnnige Zeitung, Herr RIchter's organ, says: "For the mo ment the situation is eased and the con clusion of peace Is hastened, but so far as the future Is concerned the situation Is rendered more complicated, for as soon as the allied forces are withdrawn the military superiority of Russia will become overwhelming to China, who will proba bly then grant Russia better terms than now, when she is upheld by the allies. While war between Russia and Japan is now deferred, their conflicting Interests remain regarding North, China, and it Is probable that war will break out between them soon after peace with China Is signed." The Vossische Zeitung, which sees a Russian diplomatic defeat In Russia's abandonment of the Manchurlan conven tion, says: "It must have been hard for Count Lamsdorft to Instruct the Russian Ambassadors to that effect, especially since Russia had from, the start followed the policy of rendering a diplomatic set tlement in Pekin as difficult as possible and of doing everything to stiffen the backbone of China, against the allies, par-' tlcularly in the matter of the withdrawal of the troops from the Province of Chi LI." The National Zeitung takes the view of the German Foreign Office. The Frelssln nige Zeitung expresses a hope that at least a portion of the German troops may now be withdrawn from China, adding that otherwise Germany will be com pletely isolated there. It says the Chinese forts could have been destroyed without waiting for China's consent. r Alleged Insult to Rockhlll. BERLIN, April 9. Nothing is known here officially regarding the report that Mr. Rockhlll, the American Special Com missioner at Pekin, and Sir Ernest M. Satow, the British Minister, were Insulted by German soldiers recently while return ing .from dinner in sedan chairs, the Chi nese bearers of which, as the report al leges, were beaten by the Germans. Dr. Stuebel, director of the colonial' de partment of the German Foreign Office, and at one time German Consul-General at Shanghai, who recently went to Lon don on a special mission connected with the question of Chinese indemnity, has returned to Berlin. He reports that the, negotiations In London regarding the fix ing of a modus of Chinese indemnity were successful and resulted in a mutual agreement. Russians Not Uneasy. ST. PETERSBURG, April B.-The Novoe Vhemya" avers that Russia has no cause for uneasiness regarding Manchuria. She possesses agreements with the govern ment of each of the three provinces which remain in force. In the future. If China desires her former' position restored, she can at any time sign the treaty in her possession. In the meantime, the St. Pe tersburg Zeitung says Russia is free to act In Manchuria for the preservation of order as her judgment dictates. Corean Question May Be Settled. BERLIN, April 9. Russia's declaration renouncing a separate agreement with China gives great satisfaction in Ber lin official circles, since It prevents all separate negotiations from having further Influence on the diplomatic situation at Pekln and the general negotiations can now proceed uninterruptedly- It Is said in official circles that It was to be ex- K o k V- f I V.

MAP'SHOWING THE CHINESE PROVINCES OF MONGOLIA AND SHAN SI, HAS BROKEN OUT. pected that Russia would not withdraM from Manchuria, and now any power pro posing a withdrawal must be prepared to attempt to oust her by orce. The corre spondent of the Assclated Press learns that the controversy between Russia and Japan on the subject of ;Corea has been conducted with the grfntesf icautlon on both sides, showing an earnest 'Wish, to, avoid a conflict. The Berlin diplomats do not dipect a conflict. Japanese Not Satisfied. YOKOHAMA," April 9 The dissatisfac tion of Japan with Russia's action is not in regard to the Manchurlan agreement, the leading papers here affirm, but with. Russia's action In Manchuria. Hence Japan declines, according to an Import ant section of the press, to consider the abandonment of the agreement as a final settlement of the Manchurlan question. It Is urged that this question should be brought before a conference of the Min isters, like the other Chinese questions. Viceroys Suggest Reforms. SHANGHAI, April ?. The Yangtse Viceroys and Governors have forwarded a memorial to the throne suggesting cer tain reforms. These reforms suggest, among other things, that the royal Princes and students of good family should travel and study In foreign coun tries; that the entire army be drilled by Western methods: that colleges and schools be extended, and that a standard dollar currency be adopted. Belgian Secretary Arrested. BERLIN, April 10. The Lokal Anzeiger publishes the following from Its Pekin correspondent: "M. Mergeling, secretary of the Belgian Legation, has been arrested by German soldiers who were guarding the Hatumen gate, but it was his own fault, as he refused to obey Instructions." A Favorable Oportunity. LONDON, April 10.

Death of the Aged Mormon Is Mo mentarily Expected. MONTEREY, Cal., April 9. George Q. Cannon, of Salt Lake, one of the apostles of the Mormon Church, Is seriously 111 here, and his death is momentarily ex pected. A bulletin late this afternoon states that he is gradually growing weaker. Mr. Cannon, accompanied by his wife and physician, came here about two weeks ago, suffering from a nervous af fection. His sickness assumed a seVlous form about one week ago. and members of the family were summoned from Salt Lake. Sunday last he showed some Im provement, but it was only -temporary.

FESTIVITIES AT NICE Commander of the Squadron Ordered by the Czar to Return to the Riviera and Salute IiOubct. i NICE, April 9. President Loubet, ac companied by the French Ministers and other officials, placed a crown of flow ers upon Gambetta's tomb today. He ex pressed the hope that the French Par liament would soon vote to transfer the remains to the Pantheon. It Is pro posed that this be accomplished by July 14 next, the French National holiday. President Loubet subsequently repaired to the Port of Nice, three-quarters of n mile away, where he was welcomed by i the Chamber of Commerce and visited the hospitals. He was everywhere warmly greeted. 'At a banquet later, and replying to a toast to his health, President Loubet as serted tfiat the principles of justice, sqlidarlty and good will are the founda tion of the republic and Inseparable to France. He said the country needs unity and concord and that the conflicts of interests and the country's increasing wants will end in compromising the fu ture of the nation unless steps are taken to ameliorate social conditions. Solid arity and civil peace cannot be se cured except by reciprocal sacrifices. Continuing, President Loubet said that private interests must be subordinated to the greater Interests of the nation. The. republic has already shown, in its legislation, an appreciation of the neces sities of the laboring democracy, but legislation must become part of the con science of the nation. Thus can the coun try weld its unity and assure its moral grandeur and material prosperity. President Loubet's speech was loudly applauded. The news that the Russian squadron had' arrived at Vlllefranche aroused great en thusiasm, and crowds went there to wit ness the Russians. It appears that Ad miral Birlloff yesterday disembarked at Barcelona and was summoned to the Rus sian Legation at Madrid, where a dispatch from the Czar was communicated to him, Instructing him to return to the Riviera and salute President Loubet. Admiral BJriloff immediately telegraphed to Bar celona, ordering the Russian squadron to get up steam, and on his return there last evening the squadron sailed for Vllle franche, where the Russian ships will be able to participate In the ceremony of the embarkation and departure of President Loubet for Toulon without the Russian warships' presence constituting a political share of the Franco-Italian demonstration. President Loubet and M. Delcasse re ceived Admiral Birlloff and four other Russian naval officers who had disem barked at Vlllefranche. At the banquet this evening in honor of the Russian of ficers M. Loubet proposed the health of the Czar, "who. In sending you hither to salute the President of the French Re public, has proved once more the con stancy of his sentiment fdr a friendly al lied nation." JOY IN PARIS. Frenchmen for a Time Thought Their Friends Had Deserted Them. PARIS, April 9. The unexpected return of the Russian, squadron dwarfed Interest In all other events on the programme at Nice today. The news is on the lips of every one In Paris, and joy Is expressed by both the public and the press. The in tensity of this gratification shows that great numbers of Frenchmen had treated with skepticism the explanation that the withdrawal of the squadron was simply due to a desire not to be politically iden tified with the Franco-Italian demonstra tion. A section of the Nationalist press has carefully fostered this Impression, pursuing a policy of seizing upon every possible opportunity to embarrass the gov ernment. These organs had asserted that the departure of the Russians implied dis satisfaction on the part of Emperor Nich olas with the Franco-Italian rapproche ment and heralded the break-up of the Franco-Russian alliance. A brooding feel ing of uncertainty was thus created which broke like a spell before the happy tidings of the return of the Russian squadron to Vlllefranche, and was transferred Into ex pressions of exultant gladness. The pre vailing feeling this evening was epitom ized in the following declaration of Le ?rcss62 "It Is with patriotic joy that all French men learn the glad news. The departure of our allies painfully impressed the coun try. We are now happily reassured. The Joyful emotion of the people of Nice Is shared by all patriots. No more convinc ing proof; could be given of ,the vitality and Btrength of the Franco-Russian alli ance, which has been declared moribund somewhat too early." " ' Inquiry In official quarters regarding the explanation of the return of the Russian squadron elicited the Information that the squadron left Toulon for the reason as signed at the time and cabled to the As sociated Press namely, that It was never Intended that the whole Russian squadron '. t X I I hXJ M ? 9 T"' A .1 SJ J 1Ar should remain there during the Franco Italian festivitlesas the presence of a third party might tend to check the ex pansion of feeling, but that the Russian Government had not anticipated such an unfavorable effect as was created by the withdrawal, or such comments as ap pealed In a section of the foreign press and in the Nationalist organs In France. "These comments, misrepresenting the Incidents as indicating coolness between France and Russia' said a high official, "made a great Impression upon the Rus sian Government, which is extremely sen sitive to newspaper criticism, and result ed In a decision to recall the squadron, to Nice In order ostentatiously to belie the false rumors concerning the affair. As a matter of fact, while It was not Intended that the Russian squadron should remain at Toulon for the fete, a large blunder was made by a certain Russian official, who sent the squadron off to Barcelona when it had only to go to Vlllefranche. as it has now done. In order to solve the whole difficulty. The situation was almost entirely unnecessary, and the recall of the squadron has given the French Gov ernment the keenest satisfaction." Duke of Genoa Repaid a Visit. . TOULON, April 9. The Duke of Genoa, In command of the Italian fleet, repaid to day Vlce-Admlral de Beaumont's visit of yesterday. Both the French and Italian warships saluted while the Duke was going ashore. The Duke, after receiving the guard of honor of marines, proceeded to the prefecture through troop-lined streets. The meeting between Admiral de WHERE THE LATEST REBELLION Beaumont and the Duke of Genoa was most cordial. The Duke was re-escorted to his flagship, the Lepanto, with the same ceremonial. He everywhere met with the heartiest reception from the crowds. The Drelbund Not Weakened. BERLIN. April 9.- The Toulon, demon stration does not excite any apprehension here that Italy Is weakening toward the Drelbund. The officials say the 'Drelbund Is practically certain of renewal In 1903. Commenting on the exultation In the Paris press at the fact that the estrange ment fomented between Italy and France by the late Prince Bismarck is now ended. German diplomatic circles point out that the cause of the estrangement was not Prince Bismarck, but France's seizure of Tunis. NEW COALING STATION. United States Will Establish a Depot on Mexican Soil. WASHINGTON, April 9. The first United States coaling station to be lo cated on foreign soil has just been com pleted at PlchallnquI, on the west coast of Mexico, and the collier Alexander Is now taking on 5000 tons of coal at Balti more to stock this latest acquisition of the Navy. The station Is on California Bay. at the extreme end of Lower Cali fornia.
