 Outrage of Missionaries
 There are quite a number of recent ca ses. the latest being that of the German oc- cupation of Kiao Chau for the outraates committed by Chinese on German mission aries. In that case the German feoyeln- ment acquired as indemnity a large DOT tion of Chinese territory as we'll as one of the most valuable strategic points of China.
 The principle of money indemnity for the killing of foreigners has been recognized in several recent cases in the United States. One of tfsese was the killing of the Italians at New Orleans by a mob. In that case, while the United States did not admit the responsibility of the federal gov errlment for the act of the mob, yet in demnity was paid out of the federal treas ury a matter of internal comty and equity. Similar action was taken in in- identifying China for her subjects.
 In the case of the Virginius a large money indemnity was paid. Demands by the Unit ed States are now pending against Turkey for the burning of American missionary property in Turkey during the Armenian outbreak There are many individual claims against Spain, including the Ruiz case and that of Dr. Delgado, now pending.
 Procedure of Reprisal
 President Buchanan adopted the proceed ure of reprfsal in 1859. This Is measure just short of war. Mexico was charged at that time with assenting to spoliation along the United States border. President Bu- chanan asked congress for authority to send military force to secure indemnity as diplomatic negotiations had failed to bring redress from Mexico. This course was adopted by congress and the pnepara- tions for the military repriSal soon brought about a satisfactory adjustment
 Non-intercourse with Great Britain was one of the measures adopted in 1909 by what is known as the non-intercourse act as means of stopping associations which, up to that time, had involved many com piicatons. Embargoes have been resorted to, the purpose being to prevent the ship ping of supplies needed by the offending nation.
