INDEMNITY ZOE MISSIONS.
France Takes Up Claims of Catholics
in China.


Washington April 1s.--In the question
of Chinese indemnities. which is going
on at Pekin. and also at the various
foreign capitals it mas been developed
that the French government is DESTROYS
Of looking after not only those claims
OF a distinctly national character relat-
Ing to- France and French subjects but
also the extensive class of claims of
Catholic institutions and missionaries.
In making known this desire the
French authorities have made 1t CLEAR
That they look upon the non-nilitary
claims as quite as worthy OF consiCera-
ton as those connected with the equip
ment Of military expeditions.
The extent of these depreda tiorls to
Catholic persons and property in China
Is said to be Very large, owing to the
NUMBER of Catholic missions maintained
throughout the Chinese empire. 1t is
said that some 5000 persons directly
and indirectly connected with the mis-
sions, many of them native converts.
have been killed or wounded during the
course Of the disturbances. Besides
these much property has been destroyed
and damaged. As The Catholic authorf-
ties have nc official status in the nego-
tiations at Pekin, they have naturally
looked to the French governmer& as
most likely. to render them such aid as
might be. prOper-in the scircup1s distances.
This assistance has been readily
granted, and, as a result, the various
governments have been advised of the
desire of the French authorities to see
that these non-military losses receive
siIiiable attention. as far as possible 1t
lis desired to separate this class of
claims from those. of a purely national
and military character and to leave
them for subsequent adjustment. The
claims refer not only to French Catholic
missions an 4 missionaries. but include
Also practically the entire range g. Of
claims which Catholic missions have
suffered
