Humphreys Reformer.

Gill was formerly editor of the Arizo-
ma Republican and Is well known in tie
Territory. Gill is q vigorous writer,
but is always hunting for trouble, and
he usually finds 1t. He made several
gun plays in Arizona, on the occasion
of one of which he was thrown head
long down a fight of stairs in the
Phoenix Republican Office by green
Missourian who had been on the staff
only a few days, resulting in Earring
all the bravado with which he was
loaded for the occasion out of him.
People in the Territory generally fear
ed his pencil more than his pistol, for
as a blackmailer he was considered a
success. A later disr atch states that
public sentiment in Honolulu is very
much against Mr.. Gill.-Yuma (Artz.)

.ROCKHILL'S ADvICES
ARE MORE HOPEFUL
Early Settlement of Indem-
mites Probable.
THREE SCHEMES PROPOSED

But United States Proposition to
Arrange For Joint Damages Seems
to Be Growing In Favor With the
Powers.
WASHINGTON, March 81 - Another
and later advice from Mr. Rockhill, our
special commissioner at Peking, is of q
more hopeful tone than those immedi-
ateIy preceding, for it indicates that the
subject Of indemnities is being discussed
with an apparent disposition to reach a
unanimous conclusion.
The United States proposition looking
to the agreement of the powers upon a
lump sum for indemnities, fixed by the
ability of the Chinese to pay without
destroying the government, seems to be
growing in favor. But the difficulty is,
that while perhaps the majority of the
powers, even all of them, might be in
duced to accept the principle of thus
gaug1ng the burden to the strength of
China, they are far from unanimous as
to the method of distributing this money
among themselves
schemes Of valuation have been cons1d-
cred at Peking, it has not been possible
to secure the adoption Of any one.
Without displacing the pending prop
osition, the United States government
has advanced another and a radical
proposition, namely, to divide the total
indemnity collected-say 5000, 900, 900
into eight parts, of which the United
States would receive one. 1t is true that
ten powers are represented at PekIng,
but at least two of them have no foun-
datlon for claim for indemnity. This
suggestion has not been warmly re-
ceived by those nations which claim to
have been put to very much more ex-
pense than was the United States
through the Boxer troubles. But the
answer to this has been that in most
cases the greater part of these expenses
was absolutely unnecessary; that there
was no occasion for the maintenance of
large military forces in China after the
fall of Peking and nOminally unneces-
sary and pernicious were the various So
called punitive expeditions which have
been dispatched from Peking at short
intervals ever since that date.

Exaggerated by British Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2l.-A semi
official statement has just been issued to
the effect that the commonplace Incl
dent at Tien- Tsin has been terribly ex.
aggerated by the British press until it
has almost assumed the gravity of a
casus beli. According to the statement
the trouble was due to British troops
trying to forcibly possess disputed ter.
ritory. The statement says that the
matter is manifestly a question for dip
lomatic treatment and the Russian gov
ernment has no doubt but that it will be
amicably settled to the satisfaction of
the governments at London and St
Petersburg.

Negotiations Progressing Rapidly.

PARIS, March II. - Cablegrams re-
ceived here from Peking are very cheer
full regarding the rapid progress of the
negotiations there during the past week.
The American proposal to arrange for
demands for joint damages from China
is being favorably discussed by the pow.
ers. There appears to be a prospect for
the adoption of this proposition
Feeling in Paris favors an agreement
among the powers respecting the amount
each state shall demand, and then the
presentation of these amounts to the
Chinese government as one sum. It is
thought the claims of individuals and
societies, however, should be adjudged
by commissions sitting in the respective
legations and presented separately.

CUBANs WILL ACCEPT TERMS
Such Is the Opinion of Representa-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Representa-

just returned from Cuba, told the presi-

Oubans would accept the terms laid

precedent to the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
government of the island into their

Mr.. Dovenor accompanied the mem
bers of the house of the river and harbor
committee to Havana and said he had
good opportunity to study the situation
He says the wealth and education Of the
island are in favor of accepting the
terms, but that political considerations
probably will delay the formal accept
ance for some time. In Mn Dovenor's s
opinion definite action will not be taken
until congress reconvenes in Decent Der.

Believed Diplomacy Can Solve

NAVAL WAR IMPROBABLE
Officials Do Not Attach Importance

heSS # lCeGs
LONDON, March 21-The more staid
afternoon papers, with reconecuons Of
the earlier Chinese exaggerations, de-
cline to credit the sensational stories
from Hen-Tsin and Shanghai. They
believe the Tien- Tsin difficulty will be
readily solved by diplomacy. In regard
to the suggestion in the Shanghai dis
patch that the Russian squadron has
designs on Corea, the papers think it
highly improbable that Russia has any
present intention of risking a naval war
with Japan, which, they consider,
would unquestionahly follow any for
ward movement Of Russia in the hermit
kingdom. The japanese minister, Baron
Tadasu, in an Interview today, does not
attach any Importance to the dispatches
from Shanghai and Kobe. He says that
if Russia had any important designs on
Corea she would require an army and
not feet. The minister had no in
formation regarding the reported Mobil-
lzatiOn of the Japanese feet.
