ANXIETY FOR THE PATIENT
Is Increased And Mrs. Mckinley Is
Not Out of Danger.
THE PHYSICIANS STATEMENT,

Washington, June 3, Anxiety still
continues over the illness of Mrs. Nc
Kinley. and was increased by the
report which gained circulation that
she was dying. This proved to be
untrue, however, although she is in a
very serious condition, and, in view OF
the great strain which she has under
gone and her feeblencss, it is feared
that collapse may come at any
moment. Still, her close friends and
the physicians have by no means lost
hope, and believe that, with careful
attention, which she is certain to have,
and complete rest and quiet, she may
improve materially.
The physicians who are in attend
ance upon Mrs. Mckinley, after
consultation, issued the following
statement of her condition:
Mrs Mckinley is recovering from
the fatigue of the trip. The illness
from which she was suffering in San
Francisco still continues, though in
less intense form. She is still feeble
and cannot be considered out of dan
ger. Her progress will no doubt be
slow. but improvement is looked for.

Chinese Government Forced to
Yield by 100000 Clause
DON'T CARE WHO COM MANDS.

Washington, June 1.-The depart

ably that the Chinese government has
issued decree agreeing to pay an in
demnity of $50, 900, 900 taels equivalent
to about S337, oOO 900 at the present rate
of exchange. 1t is known now that
the whole subject of indemnity will be
closed up before the end of the present
month. If that is not done and evacu-
alton is not under way on large scale
then the Chinese government must be
assessed 81, 900, 900 each day after June
/, to compensate the powers for
the maintenance of their military
forces in China. Under this whip the
Chinese government has been forced to
yield. 1t is not known that the powers
have agreed on the form and extent
of guarantee, but now that the amount
of indemnity is fixed not much difficult
ty is expected on this score.
The United States government has
not taken part in the selection OF a
military commandant to succeed Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee in the
supreme command at Pelin. Having
dispensed with our military force in
China, the United States is not con-
cerned in the personality of the mill
tary chief Our legation guard will
not owe allegiance or obedience to any
foreign commander but will be an
swerable solely to the United States
minister or charge. In the event OF
common peril the several legations
guards may unite for the common de-
Tense in which case they may select

Cuban Action on Platt Amendment

Havana, June 3.--The decision of the
| United States government not to ac-
ccpt caused great surprise and disap-
pointment to those members Of the
convention who voted in favor of the
constitution as adopted. Two leading
conservatives said in substance that
they had reason to suppose that the
constitution would be acceptable to
Washington, and that otherwise they
would not have voted for the ma ority
report as submitted. They also point
ed out that in order to avoid possi-
bility of rejection the majority report
had been changed at the last moment
thus accepting the Platt amendment
as passed by congress.
at is true" said one of the Conser-
vatives, that the interpretations OF
the explanations of the Teller resolu-
ton which were offered by Governor
General Wood and Secretary Root,
together with the Washington com
missions report. were included with
the Platt amendment as an appendix
to the constitution, but when we voted
on the report it was with but one pur-
pose in view, namely, to accept the
Platt amendment.
Both delegates said they doubted
that the convention would now recon
slider it's action, as the fight had been
won only by one vote. General Wood
said: II never understood that the
explanations of Secretary Root would
be incorporated in the acceptance.
| always considered that the conven-
tion regarded these as explanations
merely. and that they would not form
part of the acceptance.
