and English .H»«-
was not reached without considerable
discussion, some believing that the
claims of men of good reputation
should be paid in full without further
consideration. On the other hand,
a raze was mentioned where a man
of high repute claims »10.000 each for
his own. his wife’s and her daughter s
nerves and »20 000 for property de­
stroyed. whereas it is known that the
latter estimate is more than twice
tbe value of all.
The negotiations. Mr. Rockhill says,
are going on well and he sees no rea
son why they should not be completed
in two months, with the exception of
the commercial treaties, which will
probably take a long time
General Chaffee replied to the copy
of General Yin Tschang’s letter sent
him by Count von Waldersee that he
had given instructions to the Amer­
ican troops when any detachments
were sent against robbers and Boxers
to obtain to the fullest extent possible
the as»!»tau<e of Chinese officials in
making arrests and punishing the
guilty.
Regarding indemnity for
losses sustained by missionaries and
native Christians General Chaffee
pointed out that his » ntiments were
well known to the American mission­
aries; that he wai opposed to extor­
tion in eiery form, and that he fa­
vored strict justice in every case, and
that he would agree quickly to his ex­
cellency's proposition that the indem­
nities Sir Robert Hart mentioned
should be settled by the diplomats.
Count von Waldersee will leave
soon for Tsin Tau the trip possibly
extending to Shanghai. He says he
expects to return to Pekin temporarily.
It is asserted that China has de­
cided to delay her answer to Russia
regarding the Manchurian convention
for a fortnight.
The ministers of the powers have
resolved to modify the legation plans
so as to al’ow the five government
boards to remain in the occupation
of the Chinese.
