Morocco settle. claim.

A message from Consul Gummere at
Tangier informs the state department
that the Moorish government has set
tied the claim of the United States for
S., 600 indemnity ON account of the muir
der of Marcus Eszagui, naturalized
American citizen, in Morocco last spring.
Eszagui was of French birth, but the
fact that he was naturalized as an Amer
lean citizen relieved the French govern
ment from the necessity of joining in the
demand for indemnity. The Moorish
government pleaded as a basis for its
FIRST declination to pay the fact that the
man was killed. not by Moorish officers,
but in fight with the rabble. The
claim for indemnity, however, was based
on the failure of the Moorish govern
ment to make any effort TO arrest or pun
ish the perpetrators of the murder.

POVERTY OF CHINESE.
What General James Fl. Wilson Says
of the Trouble In China.


"The trouble with China is the power
ty of its people. They are downheart-
ed. dead minded. despairing."
So said General James Fl. Wilson OF
the army, who recently returned from
the orient, to Washington Star re-
porter who called upon him at the
Shoreham the other day and conversed
with him over the great rebellion In
the east.
"The only thing | found changed In
China was the country from the coast
to the capital. which was in ruins.
"What China needs Is a government
with a strong and decisive power be-
hind it." said General Wilson. In case
the present negotiations of the powers
are tremendously concluded there 1t
will be necessary for the same powers
to get behind any government that
may be set up and give 1t stability.
China cannot be properly governed
from the inside. 1t must be governed
from the outside, and 1t must be gov
erned so that the economics of the en-
pire can be developed and the people
be made happy at least to certain ex-
tent instead of being miserable, as they
now are.
II do not agree with Sir Henry
Hart's recent declaration that revolu-
ton will follow any settlement by the
powers of the present problem" said
General Wilson. THE Chinese are too
poverty stricken to have any individual
patriotism like we cherish. and their
leaders realize that they have already
| made grave mistake in opposing the
powers. The spread of the Boxer
movement was largely due to the dis
| tress Of the people They were willing
| to listen to anything. and when they
were told that their condition was due
to the foreigners they believed 1t.
| Il believe the settlement of the Chi
| nese question by the powers will not be
| difficult If they don't make botch oil
( the pending negotiations, continued
| General Wilson "In case no agree.
ment is reached by reason of objections
/ here or opposition there 1t will be nee
essary to make another attempt. AND
in case of continual failure the eventu
al outcome would be practical dismem
berment of the empire"
sIn such case would not Russia get
! the greater part of it?"
"From her position she couldn't help
! It," returned General Wilson. "Hei
boundary is coterminous with that OF
| China for 1000 miles. She has al
ready taken 100000 square miles OF
Chinese territory. But Russia's ad
vence into China is like that of gla
cier. 1t is slow. steady and certain
Its movement may be partly accelerat
ed by motive or necessity, but without
either incentive it is bound to continue
until it meets force stronger than It
| self"
