Official adViceS have been received

attacked Lieutenant Cabanallos who

why it Was Done.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SeLstate de-
partment officials say China's agree
ment to pay France 100000 francs in
demnity on account of the anti-mis-
sionary riots at Szechuan is due to the
fact that France decided TO prosecute
her claim alone and independently OF
the United States and Great Britain.
The French had large property inter
ests in that section and the sum
agreed upon is considered as entirely
reasonable compensation for the loss
sustained. The authorities here are
satisfied with the progress making in
the settlement of the claims of this
country and of England, which are be-
ing presented Jointly, but say the point
has not yet been reached in those ne
EQUATIONS where the amount of in
demnity could be suggested.
