Negotiations Said to Have Reached
Critical Stage.
Washington, Feb. 8. - Representa-,
tons to the state department from Pc
kin picture the developments at an
other critical stage. A categorical
statement as to indemnities has just
been sent to Minister Conger. The
question of indemnities is beyond
doubt the most serious before the Pc.
kin board, and to all evidences is a
fruitful souce Of dissension. England,
Germany, France and Russia are all
making exorbitant demands for in
demnity, and the negotiations will
show how sincere the European gov
ernments are in trying to preserve the
entity of the Chinese imperial govern
ment. to restore peace and to estab-
lish satisfactory guarantees Of safety
for the future. The fact that Chinese
finances are exhausted and that the
imperial government has used up it's
credit in foreign money markets
makes the situation serious. There is
a fear that the European governments
are pressing these high indemnit:es to
compel China, as an only alternative,
to grant valuable territory and treaty
concessions.

The. South Atlantic Station Not Inn
pOrtant Enough for Him.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The secretary
of the navy has decided to relieve Rear
Admiral Schley from the command of
the South Atlantic station next spring.
It was expected that Schley would re-
main on that station until near the
time of his retirement next fall, but
he does not feel that the command is
commensurate with his merits, and
has indicated a desire to come home.
The South Atlantic squadron at first
consisted Of three vessels, but one Of
these was transferred to the Philip
pines, leaving only the Chicago and the
Atlantic. When Admiral Schley was
assigned to that command there was
some talk among his friends that the
station might be made Of unusual i'm
portance on account s Of the war in
South Africa, but this expectation did
not materialize. Rear Admiral Schley
will be retired for age in October next.

\ Washington, Feb. # s. Information
from Havana Indicates that the hitch
ins the constitutional convention over
the eligibility Of Gen. Gomez for pres
ident may delay the completion OF the
constitution SO that it cannot be sub
nitted to this government before con-
Sgress adjourns. It has been expected
at the war department that the con-
vention would complete its work by
the middle Of February and Il that al
copy Of the constitution would be in
the presidents hands a week later
There may now be q delay Of several
weeks, but the changed conditions has
not changed the presidents mind as to
the necessity for an extra session OF
congress. He does not propose to
leave the settlement Of this question
until next winter. There would be
danger of disturbances and even irasur-
rection in Cuba with the suspicious OF
the Cubans 3l83 :jst u,

who would expect to profit by. q de-
termined movement for absolute inde-
pendence. Such outside efforts have
been responsible in a degree for the
failure Of the Cuban convention to give
recognition to the United States in the:
constitution, and a long delay on the
part Of this government might be ac-
cepted as weakness and lead to revo-
lutfOnary outbreaks when there are so
few troops in the island. The presi-
dent sees danger Of misunderstanding
on. the part of Cubans in delay by this
government, and he insists that con-
5gress must cooperate with him in
passing upon the Cuban constitution
At an early date, that the position OF
this government will be clearly under
stood not only in Cuba, but by other
governments and by those spectators
who are watching the situation with
the hope of absolute independence in
Cuba, that they may profit by the pro-
motion of all sorts of wild schemes.
