Not All.

Not All.
Berlin, April l5.-It is admitted IN OIL
fetal circles that the majority OF the IN
demnity claims have been formulated Ill
Pekin, but not all, so it is impossible TO
state the amount of the total to be de-
manded.
There is reason to believe that the ker-
mel of the American proposition touchlnS
| the distribution of the indemnity funds
between the powers is found in sugges-
! ton 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 so on.
Big CLANS to BE Cut.
Washington, April l5.-The last advices
tc the state department from MIR. Rock
hill contain further details respecting the
amount of the indemnities claimed from
China by the powers. 1t 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 it is believed here that China can
raise. 1t is the belief of the state de-
partment that the total claims should not
be allowed to exceed $l50,OOO,OOO or $780,
100000. According to information received
here, the British claim, so far as formu-
lated, is reasonable in amount as COM
pared with other claims. 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 $lO0,0O0,O0O,
and even the largest is something less
than this amount. This is believed to be
the Russian claim, which is fixed at $780,
100000 The German claim is flexible,
ranging between $6O,OO0,OOO and $SOOOO,-
600, but is nearer the former mark at pres
ent, though it doubtless will grow. As
already stated the claim of the United
States is $25,000,0OO, and with these few
totals it will be seen that if the remain
ing powers are to be allowed a proper
tionate share the aggregate will be be-
yond China's ability to pay, which has
been tentatively estimated at 100000 600.
Nothing has yet been determined re-
speeding the method of missing the indem-
nifty fund, even after an agreement is
reached.
