over s2oo.ooOyo 900.

Berlin April l5.--The correspondent Of
the Associated Press hears from an author
itative source that the Chinese indemnities
for war expenses, exclusive Of claims Of
private individuals and missions, have been
fixed a. follows:
Russia, 30OOO0,000 marks labout eo0,-
Oo0O0O1; France, 200.OO0l0OO marks

coo marks (abgut s22 O0O,OOOI. France win
also present claims for indemnity Of the
Italian mission.
Berlin, April l5.-It Is admitted in Of
fetal circles that the majority Of the in
demnity claims have been formulated in
Pekin, but not all, 80 il is impossible 70
state the amount Of the total to be de-
msnded.
There Is reason TO believe that the ker-
mel Of the American proposition touching
the distribution Of the indemnity funds
between the powers is found in a sugges-
tion that the allotment be made upon the
basis Of the number Of troops actually
employed by each power in the relief Of
the legationers. BY this scheme the forces
brought into China since the occupation
Of Pekin are disregarded as beng en-
tirely unnecessary to secure any lawful
and unanimously desired end. On this ba-
sis Great Britain would rank first, Japan
next, the United States third and 50 on.
Big CIama 20 BE Cut.
Washington, April l5.-The last advices
tc the state department from Mr.. Rock
bill contain further details respecting the
amount Of the indemnities claimed from
China by the powers. Ii appears that
these claims have been much exaggerated
in some statements, although the sum total
is still far in excess Of the amount Of
money il Is believed here that China can
raise. Ii is the belief Of the state de-
partment that the total claims should not
be allowed to exceed 100000 or Ss00,-
io000o0. According 10 information received
| nere. the British claim, 50 far As fomu-
lated. Is reasonable in amount as CON-
pared with other elaine In fact the
United States and Japan represent, in
these negotiations, the moderate element
whose desire Is to prevent the imposition
Of charges that shall destroy the Chinese
government and result in the division Of
the empire.
None Of the claims exceed 500 600 900,
and even the largest is something less
than this amount. This is believed TO be
the Russian claim. which is fixed at &c.
10000. The German claim Is flexible,
ranging between S00!O0O.0O0 and $4,000
000, but is nearer the former mark at pres
ent, though it doubles will grow. As
already stated the claim Of the United
States Is s25.OOO.OO0, and with these few
totals it viii be seen that il the remain
ing powers are to be allowed = proper
tionate share the aggregate viii be be-
yond ChinA's ability to pay, which has
been tentatively estimated at $500. 600 90.
Nothing has yet been determined re-
specting the method Of missing the indem-
nifty fund, even after an agreement is
reached

The total distance Travelled viii be
about lO5OO miles, crossing % states and
territories and touching the Gulf Of Next

Twenty-seven railroads are embraced in
