England. M.- V0.V.Q marks falxut $22,000,000). France wi'l also present claims for Indemnity fjr the Italian mla.'lon. AMERICAN PROPOSITION. WASHINGTON. April 13.-The last advices to the sta'e department from Mr. Rockhlll state that the indemnities claimed from China are belltred to be far 'n execas of the amount of money China can raise. The state department believed the totil should not be atlowed to exceed $150,000,000 or $200,000,000. This claim is considered reasonable. Russia's claim ia fixed at $30,000,000 and the German claim Is flexible, ranr- , ing between $60,000,000 and $$0,000,000. ,Tne clllm pf ,ne UnIted s,ate8 u 23. oooooo. If the remaining powers ure to allowed a proportionate share it Is as-ro-ed that the total will be beyond Chlni's ability to pay, which has been tentatively placed at $300,000,000. There Is reason to believe that the kernel of the American proposition touching the distribution of Indemnity funds between the powers la found In the suggestion that the allotment be made upon the basis of the number of troops actually employed by each power In the relief of the legatiomers. By this j w.heme forces brought Into China since the occupation of Pekin are disregard' ed as being entirely unnecessary to se cure any lawful and unanimously de sired end. On this basis Great Britain would rank first, Japan second, the United States third and so on. RUSSIA IAYING MINES. LONDON, April 13.
