Great britain and United statos May
Ifestst w holesale aleFunfshments.

London. Nov. 24.-Important negotia-l
tions regarding China have been in
progress between Great Britain and the
United States for the last two days.
While the exact nature OF the corre-
epondence is withheld. it is believed TO 4
tend toward q plan OF cooperation on
a the part OF the two countries for hasten
ing a settlement in the far east.
a Acorrespondent "A cabled on Wednesday
night that while Great Britain was ac-
credited with adherence to policy OF
blood expiation and heavy indemnity,
this nation would scarcely pursue
course likely to entail governmental
functions upon itself in China. This
statement seems to hold good In the
light Of the following interview granted
last night by an Official at the foreign
office. This oMcial said:
! $50 far az we are informed. there has
never been any ground for the newspa-
per reports to the effect that the Amerl-
can government was embarrassing the
negotiations in Pekin by an undue con-
sideYation for the Chinese. Neither have
j we seen any evidence Of America taking
Q line likely to isolate her from the rest
OF Christendom. On the contrary, Sec
retary Hays policy has seemed to us
eminently liberal and sound. II 1t has
stopped short OF the extreme measures
urged In some quarters, perhaps this
n fact 10 due not SO much to q desire TO
coddle China as to a wish to expedite
the settlement on the only lines seeming
to American diplomacy to offer chance
4 for settlement"
This official refused to disclose what
Is passing between the British minister
OF foreign affairs. the marquis of Lal1s-
downe, and Secretary Of State Hay Of
Warrington. but he intimated that the
utmost good feeling characterized the
discussion. He also expressed the hope
that It would result in an understanding
beneficial TO both Great Britain and the
United States, as well as to every other
nation involved in the Chinese imbrog-
lio..
Rumor has 1t that the marquis of
Lansdowne has made representations to
the American government endorsing the
peaceful program attributed to Mr.. Me-
ISiniey and Secretary Hay. II such
proves to be the case, the London Times
and several other heavy y-weight organs
Of public opinion will receive a shock
similar to that which they experienced
when Lord Salisbury refused his sane
tion to the German plan by requesting
tnS execution OI q d4HuIlDsTaoA tue aSHl'

United States will acquire a sphere O

Il else. This particular bit Of territor!
4 lies directly opposite to the island o
