i. Washington. April 15.-The last ad.
vices to the state department from Mr..
Rockhill contain further details re-
speeding the amount Of the indemni.
ties claimed from China blythe pow.
ers. It appears that these claims have
been much exaggerated in some state
ments, though the sum total is still
far in excess of the amount Of money
it is believed here that China can
raise. It is the belief Of the state de-
partment that the total claims should
not be allowed to exceed $150. 000, 900
or 5000, 900 900. According to infor-
nation received here, the British
claim, 30 far as formulated, is reason.
able in amount as compared with
other claims. In fact the United
States, Great Britain and Japan repre-
sent in these negotiations the moder-
ate element, whose desire is to pre-
vent the imposition Of charges that
shall destroy the Chinese government
and result in the division of the EN-.
pire. None Of the claims exceed $780,
100000 and even the largest is some
thing less than this amount. This is
believed to be the Russian claim,
which is fixed at $4,000 900. The
German claim is flexible, ranging be-
tween 100000 and $50, 900 900, but
Is nearer the former mark at present
though 1t doubtless will grow. AS al
ready stated. the claim Of the United
States is $25,0o0,ooo and with these
few totals in mind It will be seen II
the remaining powers are to be al

ity to pay, which has been tentatively

Nothing has yet been determined
respecting the method of raising the

New York, April 17.-Senator Or

Of what is known as the PLAT amend

Murray Hill hotel. In an interview
he said: .sN. ,1e
"The real essence Of the PROPOSE.

there will be no trouble about the

1.-THE property owners and the con.
servative classes in Cuba almost
unanimously desire the protection Of
this government; those opposed to 1t
do not count for much.
"Most Of the people In this country
do not understand the real feeling In
Cuba. The newspaper reports from
Havana have been very conflicting.
They are almost as untrustworthy as
the dispatches from China were last
year during the Boxer troubles. A
few days ago the Plat amendment
was reported rejected by the constitu-
tional convention by q vote Of "a to

Is to 10. As a matter Of fact. final &C.
ton has not been taken. Very little
interest Is manifested in Cuba in the
convention. Many people have never
heard Of It.. The property owners
took very little action In the election
Of delegates, believing that the United
States government would protect
them and their property. The colored
population is largely represented In
the convention. Many Of them have
no interests at stake, but wish to be
patriotic. Some of them fought in the
revolution and some of them are mere
adventures. Some of them seem to
think that now the Spanish yoke has
been thrown off they ought to come in
and take possession.
"Yet one-third Of the members Of
the convention are friendly to the
United States and appreciate what we
have done and what we intend TO, do.
for Cuba; another third is hostile to
America, and the balance are indif-
ferent. 1t is the hostile element that
is making all the noise and pretending
that the Americans want their govern
ment. Two of the most important
elements Of the population favor the
propositions of our government and
rely upon the assurances of our gov
eminent. These are the property
owners and the working class. The
Cubans will accept our propositions,
providing the agitators do not con-
vince them that they should not do
so. something do not think they will
succeed in doing"

STRIKE AT A COMBINE PLANT

First Conflict Between the Big Steel
Cooperation and Organized Labor
Begins on Small Scale, but Off.
Gals Of the Amaieamated Assoeia.
ton Say They Will Tie Up Every
Trust Plant. Il Necessary.
Pittsburg, April 16.-As result Of
the dispute which for q week past has
involved the employees Of the Devices
wood plant and the company about
half Of the men are on strike and
the operation of the plant Is badly
crippled. The cause of the trouble
was the recent discharge Of seven
men, who, the men claim, were dis
missed because they were members
Of the newly organized lodge of the
Amalgamated association.
The event is looked upon as mo-
mentous throughout the iron and
steel trade of the country from the
fact that it is the first conflict be-
tween organized labor and the new
United States Steel corporation and
because of the announced intention
Of President T. J. Shelter, the head Of
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, to tie up every
plant of the new combine, steel, tin.
tube, structural iron, wire and all.
If necessary, to win the fight. AS to
the chance that the men In all the
mills Of the United States Steel cor
poration will be called upon to come
out, no one connected with the man
agement Of the organized plants in the
new corporation will consent to be
quoted. The only underlying compan-
les in the new corporation whose mills
are entirely Independent Of the Anal
gamated association are the Carnegie
interests and the National Tube COM
pany. The mills Of the American
Steel Hoop company, the American
Tin Plate company and the Republic
Iron and Steel company are all organ
lied, while most of those of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company and the
National Steel company and a few of
the National Steel and the American
Steel and Wire and the American
Bridge plants work under the Anal
gamated association. Most of the
American Steel and Wire plants are
controlled by the rod mill men.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 FOREIGN MARKETS
London Stock Exchange Closed
 the Week TranquiIly
THE MARKET IS VERY FIRM
A German Paper Describing the Weeks Bourse in Berlin Terms 1t a Picture of Complete DesoIa-
 tlon-Iron Favorable.

London May 19-The Stock Exchange closed the week tranquilly and in strong contrast to the stormy opening of last Monday. Thanks to the intervention of J. Pierpont Morgan and Kuhn. Loeb 6 Co. widespread disaster, as well as crisis in Northern Pacific, were averted on ac- count of quiet liquidation. That the ten sion is greatly relieved is shown by the fact that the market is remarkably firm and in many cases weakened prices are higher There is considerable liquida- tion ahead much help will be given and some accounts have been outclassed, but the record of two unimportant failures Is regarded as surprisingly satisfactory. British complacency has been severely jolted at accepting financial salvation at American hands. This had hurt British self-esteem While some of the stock ex- change writers acknowledge the debt to met MT. Morgan, others are bitter In their comment on what they call reckless American methods. The money market has felt the squeeze severely. Six million pounds were borrowed fom the Bank of England to protect balances until settling day. The clearances that day were f1O9,- 0O0, 600 which is f2O, 100000 over the record and large repayments are still pending.

Berlin Rourse.

Berlin, May 19.-The weekly financial reviews all devote large space to Wall street and the reflex influence here, ad- hitting that business on the German bourses was wholly dominated by New York last week, no department showing animation, and transactions reaching only a minimum.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung, describing the weeks bourse as "a picture of com plete desolation," says that events in Wall street caused both spectators and outsiders to maintain the greatest re- serve.
 The money market also felt the effects of Wall street reaction and London's s higher rates. While the private rate of discount rose only one-eighth, foreign exchange continued upward. French in- vestors began withdrawing their balances for the Russian loan. Paris and Ann sterdam are above the gold point and London Is nearly there.
 The Spanish loan fell owing to the political situation in Spain. Servitian rents fell sharply yesterday upon the re- port of the physicians of Queen Draga-
 Iron and coal shares were weak.
 Reports from the iron centers were mainly unfavorable. The last United States iron report also depressed values being regarded as indicating the ap- proach of American competition. Busi- ness with the founderies was slower and less remunerative owing to lessening de- mands of machinery for trade. Silesia reports declining coal shipments and Westphalan seven per cent. less output.

IRON Is NOT HURT
 BY RECENT SLUMP Wall Street Panic Had Little
 Effect on Industrials DEMAND IS SOME BETTER We Are Now in the Midst of a Season able LuII, Which, According to
 the Ordinary Course, Will
 Last Month or Two.
DEMAND IS SOME BETTER

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S iron letter to The Age Herald says:
 There Is no evidence that last weeks slump in Wall street has in any way affected the industrial situation. The de- mand for iron has, if anything, been a little better since that sensational incl dent. We are. however. in the midst of a seasonable lull which in the ordinary course will last month or two. The his- tory of pig iron markets is that periods of active buying are always succeeded by quiet periods of about equal length. There are few exceptions to this rule, and those who base conclusions on the rate of buying in either a quiet or an active period are apt to fall into mistakes
 Owing to the interest in English mar kets due to the fact that English iron is now the cheapest in the world, we have been at some pains to secure authentic information as to the facts governing the situation in Great Britain. In Scotland there are now seventy-six furnaces active, against eighty-three January l. The product is about equally divided be- tween foundry and hematite Cor Besse-
 
 creased since January 1 about 1000 tons and stand at 60,47. The makers have practically no stocks on hand.
 In the Middlesboro district there are 76 furnaces in blast against S2 January 1, and 30 a year ago. Stocks in store of foundry iron have increased since Jan uary 1 from 57,2F tons to 71,709 tons, but against this increase of 14,500 tons, mak- CTS stocks of foundry iron have de- creased during April 30,0OO tons. The sta tistical position Is therefore strong. Talk ing furnace. storage and consumers stocks together, 1t can probably be said that there is less pig iron in Great Brit ain today than at any time for 9 years. Middlesboro No. now rules around 46s. It is stated that there is a small profit at this figure to those makers who use their own ores. but those who have to buy ore can scarcely come out even. Spanish ore has gone up from the lowest point this year Is Cd, and furnace coke about 2s per ton. Furnace coke, however, stands about Is lower than at last years top prices, and ore about 2s Sd lower, whilst pig iron has gone off about 3Os. Furnace men, and ore and coal miners work on a sliding scale, but the minimum basis Is higher than it was during pre- vious times of depression when Middles- boro sold between 30s and 40s Consumers, not only in Great Britain but on the con tinent, are working on the narrowest margin of stocks. The fear of American competition is still deep rooted, but the last few days have shown some signs of returning courage

Manchester Market.

Manchester May 19.-Buyers are oper- ating quietly. During the past week there has been more business of some descrip- tions, although the improvement has not been general Prospects are little more encouraging. There has been considera- ble demand for certain fabrics but all at lower prices. A fair proportion of this business has been negotiated but general ly the turn over is not nearly equal to the output of the looms. There was some in- crease in China transactions, but trade was not brisk. Some South American in- quiry was of a shortening inquiry. Trans actions in yarns continue satisfactory. Buyers obtained some slight concessions while occasionally manufacturers pur- sured the waiting policy. The supply Of yarns appears to be larger than the re- quirements of the weaving trade.
