DISMEMBERMENT PROBABLE. NEW YORK. N.v. 20. The China ne gotiations, according to a dispatch to the Tima from Washington. ' have reached a most serious stage. The ac tions of the powers are making par tition almost inevitable. The United States faces the probability that It will either have to take a slice of China or go without any Indemnity. In that (are It la positively asserted by high authorities that the United States will go without Indemnity. The United States may succeed In re ducing the demands of other powers and la now making every efTort to that end, but with no Immediate prospect of success. Every nation haa disavowed any in tention of dismembering China but that merely relates to dismember mtnt aa a punishment for the Boxer outrage. No nation has pledged itself to avoid tak ing a course which will sooner or later make dismemberment Inevitable. It Is firmly believed In official .circles In Washington ihat the powers are pro ceeding deliberately with the intention of bringing about a situation which will compel dismemberment. The whole question hinges upon the amount of money Indemnity to be de manded.' While the United States has not officially set a maximum figure for the indemnity, it la the unofficial opin ion of some of the highest officers of the government that 200.000.000 Is all that China cau pay. The powers are deelroua of swelling the Indemnity to at least twice that amount. Two courses are considered for the payment of this large Indemnity. Each Is Innocent on Its face but both mean partition, and the American govern ment Is so sure of It that as soon as the powers adopt eJther course this country will .retire from the concert and lose nil but a faint chance of ever recover ing any Indemnity. One course Is to xact territorial pledges. This Is the same thing as par tition, for It simply means, a mortgage which Is certain to be foreclosed. The United Stntes will not have anything to do with the scheme. The other plan is to have China issue bonds guaranteed by the powers. This, in the opinion of the American (govern ment, means partition Just as surely as the first schm-4. The bondholders would hav- recourse to the snarnntora who would not fulfill their guarantees except by tnklng territory. Partition by this means may appear a thlrg of the distant future, but a high official of the government haa recently given It as his deliberate opinion that the bond scheme would bring about partition al most as soon as the other. The United States will not guarantee any bonds. How the United States can collect Its Indemnity If It docs stay out la a mys tery. The government officials frankly give up the conundrum. The United States will not. ft course, surrender Its claim and give China a receipt In full. It will endeavor in every way possible to get Its Indemnity, but there Is no way open In the Immediate future If the powers carry out their plans. The United States has, therefore, only one way of getting Indemnity. Thnt Is by Inducing the other powers to reduce their demands to an Indemnity which China Is able to pay. The administra tion Is hopeful of success, but so far It has made no progress and the chances set1;; to be all against it. The United States Bpent about -i20,- 000.000 In going to Pekln and this coun try'a demand for damage to person and property may range from $10,00,00fl to $20,000,000. But the other powers are actively swelling their expenses as much aa possible. ENGLISH PRESS IMPATIENT. NEW TORK. Nov. M.-There Is a growing feeling of Impatience In Lon d n over the delay In effecting a settle ment of the Chinese question, says a Tribune cablegram. The English press frankly conferscs that It Is hearing about punitive ex peditions to one quarter or another and thnt it considers It hardly worth while to keep all China in a state of turmoil, preventing thereby restoration of nor mal trade relations In order to puninh a few criminals who cannot be caught while the court remains In exile. English opinion will not be fully ex pensed until the cues are provided by th foreign office, but It la fairly to assume that It supports the American contention that ?he most urgent re quirement of the situation Is the estab lishmcrt at Pekln of a government with the essential elements of stability and aut! ority. Since there can be no sub stitute for the empress' rule, her rela tion to the capital seems a foregone conclusion. The punishment of the princes, especially Tuan, Is the chief oh.'aele to a aettlement. The latest dispatches Indicate that the European powers are gradually coming to .1 decision on the preliminaries of peace on which general negotiations may be opened. The trend of events indicates that the European powers ire slowly approaching the American posi tion on the whole matter. SENSATION IN THE REICHSTAG. BERLIN. Nov. 20. Count Von Bu low'a reception In the relchstag yester day was decidedly cool and only once w.s titer? any applause, when the cnanccllor admitted that the govern ment had asked Indemnity from China. Then the applause was remarkable. Heir LJeber. Centrist, and Herr Bebel. socialists, condemned the government f.'.r violation of the constitution In ln curiing the expenses In China without having first obtained the consent of the rcicbirtag and for creating the China colonial army. . herr Lieber sharply criticized the em peror for hi "no pardon" speech, for declaring a campaign of revenge and for saying that no decision beyond the seas must be reached without the emperor's consent. He branded the German style of warfare in China as Inhuman and cruel and referred at length to letters from soldiers proving this. He denied incidentally that an American loan had served to. pay the campaign expenses. Herr Bebel created a sensation when he declared faulty the empire's con stitution, which does not provide spe cific punishment for a chancellor who violates It. The constitution, he said, prevented the chancellor's impeaeh- I ment. Herr Bebel also branded the German methods of warfare In China and read a score of letters from soldiers there proving the charges he made. General Von Gossler, minister of war. made a most unfortunate speech. He said the Huns once devastated Europe and now was the time for historic retri bution In China, and he ca led it a lucky circumstance that the army had a chance to wage the war. The members of the left and center often interrupted General Von Gossler with Jeers and laughter. MISSIONARIES GOING BACK. SAIC FRANCISCO. Nov. 20.
