CABINET DISCUSSES 1T.

Chinese Question the Main Topic Con.
s,dersd at the Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The Chinese
situation was the main topic under
consideration at the cabinet meeting.
the administration is not disposed to
join with the other governments in
making demands@ pm the Chinese i'm.
perlal authorities Which thu Chinese
government cannot comply with. ii,
so far as our government 10 advised,
the foreign ministers at Peklpg have
not yet agreed upon all poin1 under
discussion. Mr.. Conger hass3eported
from time to time the various. proposis
tions under consideration, - h&has,
not yet indicated that IL end.3s st'
hand, or that anything in the nature
of an agreement has been reached upon
which the various powers might aot
and which is to serve as basis of ne.
EQUATION with the Chinese authorities.
The Chinese emper1 has not, however,
been heard from II week, and this
has caused some diso6 o6dragement to the
officials, who expected that this phase
OF the difficult question would soon be
closed.

now to be engaged with the difficulties
of indomnities and gurantees. The

proposition has never commended Itself

ments and failing such reference to
the question Of Indemnity, it is believed
that it will be most difficult task for
the ministers at Peking to resoA an
agreement on this subject, particularly
in view of the existence of o very
strong suspicion of the motives of some
Of these ministers. This apparent diff.
ference in original purpose between the
United States government and some of
the other powers have operated to pre-.

Indemnity. ]

NeW 1OkK, NOV. 2l.-The ChinA
negotiations. according to . dispatch =
Tie Times from Washington, hayS
ftached most serious stage. The sos
tions Of the powers are making parti
ton almost inevitable. The Unite4
States faces the probability that it viii
either have to take slice Of China d
60 without any indemnity. In thse
case. it Is positively asserted by higti
authorities, that the United States wifi
GO without indemnity. ?
Tho United States may SUCCEED ii.
reducing tho demands Of other powers;
and 10 now making every effort to that
ond. but with no immediate prospect
OF success. Every nation has dlca..
vowed any intention of dismembering
China. but that merely relates to dis.
memberment az
Puntshmsnt For Roxer Outrages.
No nation has pledged itself to avoid
taking course which will sooner or
later make dismemberment inevitable.
It is firmly believed in official circles
in Washington that the powers are
proceeding deliberately with the inten.
tion Of bringing about q situation
which will compel dismemberment.
lhe whole question hinges on the
amount Of the nbney indemnity to be
demanded. While the United States
has not officially set a maximum figure
4or the indemnity it is the unofficial
opinion a1t tsme Of the highest officers
Of tho @ hment that s2Oo. 900. 900 is
al that China can pay. The powers
are desirous Of swelling the indemnity
to at least twice that amount. Two
courses are considered for the
,aymcnt Of This Large Indemnity.
Each is innocent on its face, but both
mean partition, and the American gov-
Sprnment 10 10 sure of it that as soon al
poweEs adopt either course. this
country will retire from the concert
anu lose all but faint chance of ever,
recovering any indemnity. &
Of course. it 10 to exact territorial
pledges. 1hls 10 the same thing as pars
tltion, for it simply means a mor1 1khgS
which 10 certain to be foreclosed. Tho
United States will not have anything
to do with this scheme.
The other plan is to have China issue
bonds, guaranteed by the powers. This,
in the opinion of the American govern.
ment. means partition jgsp surely
as the first scheme. The ookdholderS.
would have recourse to the guaraptors;
who could not fulfill their guarl kkeea.
except by taking territory.
