GREAT ANXIETY AT PEKING.
Continued Excitement Over the Latest
Russian Demand.

Picking. May 15.-The Russian demand
for 4 new concession connecting PeKlhg
with Russias present railroad system In
Manchuria Is still exciting the gravest
anxiety here. The chief Chinese ofhclals
are having constant consultations VAIN
the DoHager Empress. 1t appears 10 be
the general opinion that il is intended the
line should start from Kirin or Mukden,
and run direct 10 Peking by way or
Shohol ~. The Germans and japanese
are particularly uneasy on the subject OF
this unexpected move upon the part OF
the Russians. and it is said there Is
feeling among prominent Chinese that
the moment has come TO make every ell
fort TO secure sympathy and aid.
London, May l5--The government was
questioned In the House OF Commons to-
day regarding the Russian demand for a
railroad concession to connect Peking
with Russia's present railroad system IN
Manchuria. The Parliamentary Secre-
tary of the Foreign Office. Mr.. William St.
John Brodrick, replied that the British
charge d'affaires at Peking had reported
that Russia had made such demand,
and It was understood that up 10 the
present the Chinese Foreign Office had de-
clined to grant the full concession. Mr..
Brodrick added that her maiesty's gov
ernment would be unable to make a pro-
nouncement on the subject OF Great Brit
aIns attitude in the matter uAtil all the
facts were known.
The government was then asked wheth-
er, in view or the foregoing. her majesty s
government would take steps to have the
basis OF the Yang Tse-Kiang clearly de-
fined.
In reply Mr.. Brodrick said the proposed
railroad did not affect the -Kiang
basin, regarding which the government
had entered into an agreement with Rus

War CLAIMS WEDO NOT OWE
Foreigners in Cuba Want to Come in
Under the Peace Treaty.
British. French. and German Claimants
Seeking Payment for Damages sus-
tained Before Island Passed
from Spanish Sovereignty.

The State Department has been infor-
mally advised that claims aggregating a
considerable amount have been made by
British French. and German residents ia
Cuba during the recent insuTrectiOn, and
that these ultimately will be pressed
against the United States government.
The claims themselves have not yet been
presented, but are being collected by the
several foreign Offices as the claimants
send them in. In some cases schedules
have been made, and the aggregate stated
to the authorities here. The French
claims aggregate between 100000 and 15.-
0Go,000 francs. The German claims are
understood 10 be slightly under those Of
the French, while the British claims are
said to be considerably more than either
the French or German
These foreign claims are quite distinct
from those of citizens of the United
States, originally against Spain, for dam
ages sustained in Cuba during the insur-
rection. The peace treaty specifically
provided for these American claimants,
releasing Spain and stating that the
United States would make such settlement
as was proper.
Under this clause claims aggregating
several millions have been filed No pro-
vision. however was made by the treaty
for foreign claimants, and there appears
TO be much doubt as to who is liable since
the sovereignty over Cuba has passed out
of the hands Of Spain. The United States
having undertaken 10 look after the
American claimants. the foreigners are
desirous of being treated in the same
manner
II was stated at one of the foreign es-
tablishments that there was no DISPOSE
tion TO push the claims unduly. but to
bring them to the attention of the United
States government in order that the uues-
tion of liability might be determined and
such relief granted as the merits of
the case warranted. 1t is ap-
preciated in these foreign quarters
that payments Will be largely a matter
Of discretion with the United States, as
the obligation to look after the American
claimants voluntarily was assumed, and
there is no obligation, either in the treaty
or on general principles of law, for as
suming the claims growing out of Spain's
inability to maintain order in Cuba dur
ing the period of Spanish rule
These foreign claims cover damages to
plantations, personal property, &C, of
French. British, and German res dents of
Cuba, and are not connected with the
bonded debt of Cuba in foreign hands,
which debt was assumed by SPAIN
