ALLIES DEMAND HEADS.
NEW YORK, Nov. ia cable to
the Sun from Peking, dated November
10th, via Taku, November 10th and
Shanghai November 11th, says: The
Ministers, at their meeting Thursday,
made substantial progress in formulat-
{ ing the demands that Will be presented
{ to the Chinese Government.
1t Is understood that the demands
are based on the French note. but diff
fer therefrom in some respects. besides
: containing some additional demands.
: For instance, the French note made no
: mention of the murder of Baron Won
Ketteler, the German Minister. who
was killed by the Chinese. 1t is almost
certain that the demands to be present
ed will insist that proper reparation
be made for the murder, and that the
Chinese perform a substantial act OF
humiliation to give satisfaction to the
! German Government. 1t will even be
suggested that a Prince of royal bloot
proceed to Germany and humi'iatt
himself before Emperor William.
1t is understood that the Minister,
have discussed. in addition to tn,
French note, the question of indem
nifty. One suggestion made was tha
China be compelled to pay for actua
damages done, and in addition to NEE
all expenses of the war and the ex
tpenses incurred in maintaining troop
here. Altogether this would probabl.
make a bill of about 5000, 100000 70
China to settle.
Foreign supervision OF the rev enue
and guarantees for the payment De in
demnity were discussed, as was ais
the question of opening the whole coun
try to trade. Protection of the mis-
sionaries was also under cons .deratior
but it is not known whether this Wi
be included in the demands.
The officials whose death are de
manded are Princes Chuang, Tuan, L
Tsai Lien and Tsai Ying, and third
grade Princes Kang, Schiao, Sche
chuao and Tang Flu Hsiang. Duk
Ian. Ying Teen and Yu Hs.en. Fhes
are the most powerful men In the EN-
pire, and it is in their power to get tn
court completely in their grasp and
render the Dowager Empress and En-
peror helpless. Through General Fun
Fu Hsiang all the army is under. tne
control. If Tung Flu Hsiang sides wit
the Dowager Empress she can infiit
the punishment demanded. but he wi
certainly not support her If he know
that his own head will be offered

of these officials takes the form ~

The effect would be necessarily TO prt

with no certainty of ultimate success
lon the other hand. If General Tung
Hsiang should not be condemned
z would probably be willing to go to al
length to set himself right with Il
powers. even to killing his compatrioi
