ALLIES DEMAND HEADS.
NEW YORK. Nov. l1.-A cable to
the Sun from Picking, dated November
10th, via Taku, November 10th and
Shanghai November l1th, says: The
Ministers, at their meeting Thursday,
made substantial progress in formulat-
ing the demands that will be presented
to the Chinese Government

are based on the French note, but diff
fer therefrom In some respects, be sides
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 PREPARATION
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 blood
proceed to Germany and humi'iate
himself before Emperor William.

have discussed, In addition to the
French note, the question OF indem-
nifty. one suggestion made was that
China be compelled to pay for actual
damages done, and In addition to meet
all expenses OF the war and the ex-
penses incurred in maintaining troops
here. Altogether this would probably
make bill of about 5000 00O. 900 for
China to settle.
Foreign supervision of the rev anues
and guarantees for the payment Of In
demnity were discussed, as was also
