MAY REQUIRE PAYMENT IN GOLD.

Berlin. May PIT is authoritatvely an
nounced that the powers will agree TO require
the present Chinese import duties be paid in
gold, which is equivalent to doubling the duties.
The same payment will also probably be
quired in the case Of the salt and opium tax.
Germany is apparently averse to interfering
with the likin dues, since they
plicated, requiring too much administrative ma
chinery and too much mixing in the internal af-
fairs of China.
Officials here admit that the powers are likely
to divide into two groups upon the method OF
settlement, some following Great Britain in
favor of loan and others supporting payment
through increased revenues
The German force in China, il is said, after
the withdrawal of troops. will amount TO three
thousand four thousand men, exclusive OF

WANT CROKER TO TAKE BACK SEAT
MOVEMENT IN TAMMANY TO HAVE OTHERS
TAKE THE LEAD IN THE COMING
MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN

meeting of the executive committee of Tam
many Hall will be held tomorrow night but
only routine business will be transacted, il was
said yesterday. Tammany men denied the re-
port that John F. Carroll and John J. Scanneu
were going TO Europe to see Richard Croker and
report to him. Mr.. Carroll is not deeply loved
by Croker just at present. Although he is nomi-
nally acting as deputy leader. Wigwam men say
that he is shorn of all real power and is slated
for retirement at an early date. Scannell it is
said has no desire to Croker or report to
him. Croker is expected home some time in
August
In the time there is a strong movement
in the organization-and Carroll and Senator
Sullivan credited with being the prime
movers in the affair-to have Croker take
back seat in the coming municipal campaign
and let others direct ii for Tammany. They
believe that Croker's activity his selection of
ticket and his talks about the campaign will
ALLEVIATE many votes.

THE PRESIDENT AND CHINA
POWERS URGED TO ACCEPT THREE
PER CENT BONDS FOR INDEMNITY.
MR. ROCKHILL INSTRUCTED TO PRESS THIS
GOVERNMENTS VIEWS ON THE MIN
ISTERS AT PEKING.

San Francisco. May 22.-Presldent Mckinley
and Secretary Hay have been in constant COM
munication with WASHINGTON throughout their
journey in the West. Dispatches from foreign
capitals have been continually arriving. and
the Chinese situation has received special atten-
tion. Two weeks ago the President proposed
that each OF the powers should accept for it's
share of the indemnity the bonds Of China at
par, with interest at 3 per cent, provision for
meeting the interest and for eventual payment
being made from the nkin. the salt duties and
increased import taxes. Mr.. Rockhiu has now
been instructed to urge these views anew on
the attention of the ministers at Peking
The President has been anxious lest the difi-
cultes thrown in the way of an arrangement
by the demands Of some of the powers might
lead 70 indefinite delay and a consequent in
crease of the indemnity to he exacted There
two points to he settled:
First-The total amount of the indemnity and
the share of each power.
Second-The method Of payment.
In regard to the first point the President has
constantly endeavored TO moderate the demands
of the powers 10 an amount which China might
pay without financial ruin territorial dis
memberment. He has thought that 5000 900 600
the maximum amount indicated by the best
authorities consulted. and he has proved the
sacrifice in the interest of the integrity of China
and the restoration of normal relations by cut
ting down the already moderate claim of the
United States one-half if other powers would
make proportionate reductions These PROPOSE
tons have not been accepted by the other gov
ernments although Great Britain has shown
disposition toward considerate treatment of
China.
AS to the method Of payment, it is understood
that there are various propositions before the
conference of ministers in Peking. One is a
loan to be contracted by China guaranteed by
the powers which it is thought might be foated
at 4 per cent, with commission of or per
cent. Another is loan, not guaranteed, which
would probably require enormous commits
sion and heavy rate of interest. perhaps per
cent. Neither of these propositions was accept
able to the President.
The attitude of the British Government as set
forth in the recent speeches of its representa-
tives in Parliament indicates that Great Britain,
although not willing TO go so far as this coun-
try in moderating the demands Of the powers,
is inclined to accept measures which If adopted
may bring the negotiations to conclusion.

fBY C.PLE TO TRIBUNE.l
Havana May 22.-It shown to-day that
the Constitutional Convention will reject Gual-
berto Gomez's report as the first step toward
accepting the Platt amendment. He spoke to-
day. urging that if the convention held out and
refused acquiescence TO the amendment, Cuba
would be in a position 10 appeal to the world
and ultimately would gain absolute independ-
ence. Gomez will finish his speech tomorrow
His followers now admit the defeat of his
proposition but after that will endeavor 10 en-
barrass the delegates who want majority re-
port adopted Several members who will vote
against Gomez want TO dodge direct vote on
acceptance Norma Delgado and Berrie who
have proposed notifications in the majorty's
report will nevertheless support it.
The committee met tonight and agreed
some changes in the phraseology to clear away
alleged antiquities. The changes are imma-
terial
The Sugar Planters Association made a for
NAL request to the convention to intervene in
the question of mortgage foreclosure which is
one of the most perplexing questions with which
the American administration is confronted. Gov
ernor-General Wood has extended the time of
the order against foreclosure till June l. but
announces that no further extensions will be
granted.
In the mean time. a special commissioner has
been trying to adjust the difficulty, but has not
succeeded in formulating a plan satisfactory TO
both debtors and creditors. The Merchants
Union, strong financial body. has opposed the
Sugar Planters Convention, and to-day refused
TO intervene on behalf of the latter on the
ground that the subject was beyond its jurisdic-
tion. Its action was important.
