PARTITION OF CHINA.
RUSSIA WANTS HER SLICE
OF TERRITORY.
Demands Control of Two Ports and the
Privilege OF Building a Railroad to
Port Arthur-France Also Wants a
shAre-EngIand's Action DIsInterested.

LONDON, March THE Pekin cor
respondent of the Times says:
Russia has demanded that China
surrender to her all sovereign rights
over Port Arther and Ia. Lien-Wa for
the same period and on the same con-
ditions as in the case of Germany at
Kiao-Chou. Besides this, Russia de-
mands the right to construct rail
way under the same conditions as the
trans Manchurian railway, from Pc
tula on that line near the River Sun
garD to Kwang Chung-Tsu, Mudken
and Port Arthur Five days are given
for reply, and the agreement must be
signed within month.
''In the event of noncompliance
Russia threatens to move her troops
into Manchuria. China will, perforce,
yield. BY this agreement Russia will
obtain the right to send soldiers into
Leao- Tung, ostensibly for the protec-
tion Of the railway engineers.
Russian assurances that the ports
will be open to the world are decep-
tive, inasmuch as, while conforming
to these assurances, Russia can con-
vert either port into a second and
stronger Vladivostock
"Russia's protest is neither more
nor less than thinly yelled demand
upon China to abandon the whole of
Manchuria and the province of Shin
King, which includes the Liao-Tung
peninsula.
IF China yields, these provinces
will practically pass away forever, to
be incorporated in the czar's empire.
While recognizing that Russla's desire
for an ice-free terminus for her Asiatic
railway is reasonable and legitimate,
England cannot assent to the prac-
tical absorption of two great and
wealthy Chinese provinces
PEKIN, March Ton Friday last,
Yano Fumiop the Japanese minister to
China, demanded an officially signed
assurance of the payment of the in.
demnity due next May. The Chinese
government instructed Yang Yu, the
Chinese minister at st. Petersburg, to
urge Russia to evacuate Port Arthur,
Russia deferred a decision, alleging
that the presence of Russian war
ships at Port Arthur was beneficial to
China and favorable to peace in the
Orient
On Friday, NJ. Gerar, the French
minister to China, made similar com
plant, with corresponding demands
for compensation in the South.
England and Germany are now re-
garded as having obtained their legit-
innate aspirations; and Russia and
France desire to secure theirs
The Chinese acknowledge that the
British late loan negotiations were
disinterested and calculated to ad-
vance Chins's welfare and to main
tain her independence.

ular."
Senator Pettigrew said: II GER
tainly approve the presidents course
in the matter. / should judge the re-
quest to recall our consul general is
somewhat unusual, and, under other
circumstances, would be complied
with, but the conditions precedent to
this case take it out of the usual rule
and justified the presidents action"
Senator Cullom said; whether this
government desires it or not on this
account it would be almost forced
into war with Spain. L do not well
understand, in view of the interest, or
manifestation of interest this country
has taken in the conflict which has
been going on between Spain and the
Cubans how withdrawal of any kind
could be thought of either from the
point of view of national interest or
of common humanity. Our people do
not want war, neither does the Presi-
dent, but neither the President nor the
people will submit to any humiliation
at the hands of the Spaniards.
Senator Morgan said: II heartily
applaud the Presidents action in the
dispatch brought to my attention.
do not think the Spanish government
will insist upon Lees recall, nor do
think it will refuse bounty to those
poor starving creatures, though it may
be dished out to them with mailed
hand. We are proud of General Lee
and his conduct in Cuba
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio
said: Spain has the undoubted right
to make peremptory demand for the
withdrawal of General Lee. Under
ordinary circumstances this govern
ment would be bound to grant this
concession upon demand. but under
existing circumstances, where the
withdrawal of Lee would be an inn
piled censure of his course, the Presi.
dent should refuse just as peremptor-
lily"
II think the President is to be COM
mended," said Representative Heat
wole, a member of the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs, ''for declin-
ing to recall General Lee at the re-
quest of Spain. There is no reason
why supplies for suffering Cubans
should not be sent,in warships. In
deed, it is eminently proper that war
ships be sent to Cuba to protect Amer
lean citizens and interests"

FREEDOM in rs YEARS.
Spanish BOndhOIderS' Scheme to sottIo
the Cuban situation.

tine CuD0n SITUATION.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-The syndi-
cate of Spanish bondholders has form
ulated scheme for intervention in
the Cuban situation which is now
being seriously considered by the
President 1t will probably be adopt
ed by the administration, but the
chances of its success are remote.
The scheme is to be pressed vigor-
ously, and if the details are not agreed
to within a fortnight, the entire ar
rnngement will be declared off. Mean
while, the Maine matter is to be kept
out of sight as far as possible.
Briefly stated, the syndicate's
scheme is as follows: This govern
ment is to offer its services to the
queen of Spain and the President Of
the so-called Cuban republic as medi.
ator between the two parties. Before
another step is taken both parties will
suspend hostilities. Spain will not be
compelled to withdraw her troops i'm.
mediately, but they must be massed
in the cities.
One of the first propositions is that
the Cuban republic shall go out of ex.
istence the moment the agreement is
effected.
President Mckinley, or a commits
sion selected by him, will undertake
to determine how the Spanish debt,
incurred on account of the war in
Cuba, is to be settled. This debt
amounts to from $500, OOO 900 to 5000,
100000, 1t will probably be scaled
down and new bonds will be issued
for the amount which Cuba must pay
Spanish sovereignty will continue on
the island for twenty-five years, but
during that time the Cubans will have
their own legislature and the governor
will be selected by the United States.
This government, besides guaran-
teeing the payment of the bonds, will
see that the revenues derived from
customs and other sources are applied
to the extinguishment of the debt
At the end of twenty-five years the
Cubans are to be given their freedom,
and be permitted to elect their OWE
president. There are other details,
but the above are the most important
provisions of the scheme suggested by
the syndicate.

tered into a compact with the govern
or of HUI Nan to direct the affairs of

ang and the adjoining territories.
The triumvirate proposes to govern
this region irrespective of any orders

no voice whatever in its affairs, thus
virtually splitting China into two
separate administrations.

HAVANA HARBOR MINES.
An Engllshman Says He Supplied spaIn's
Government With the Explosives.

uONbEuhBub WIN EApAVSANoos
LONDON, March According to the
statement of a man whose cards
describe him as being an electrical
engineer, he sold to Spanish
officers in London, several years
ago large number of mines, eight or
ten of which were placed in Havana
harbor. He says they were made in
special way and had a specially and
peculiarly constructed cable, which he
contends, he can positively identify if
the smallest piece is produced. Some
of the mines, the man continues, whose
name has been sent to Washington,
were fixed so they could be fred from
a fort, and two Of them had bulbs ar
ranged that they would explode upon
a vessel coming in contact with them.
He exhibited the plans of one
of those mines, which, he pointed ont,
was the most likely to produce the
effect described as causing the wreck
of the Maine. 1t was numbered ''2"
and was constructed to contain 500
pounds of gun cotton.

Tho Eject of War on Grim.

NEW YORK, March Z. - Differ ing
views regarding the effect of possible
war between this country and Spain
upon the trade in American grain and
flower prevail on the produce ex-
change. In the opinion of some Of
the members, war would have de-
pressing effect They say that the
shipment of our grain to Europe
would be interferred with, and, as a
result, domestic stocks would accumu-
late, forcing down their per cent
These assertions are, however, ridi-
culed by some who say that even if
Spanish privateers should interfere
with the shipment of grain on Ameri-
can ships, there would be nothing to
prevent grain being shipped abroad in
British vessels or in the ships of other
countries.
