He does not think that the court is in
any danger and thinks the object OF

Ning-hsu with 10000 men prepared TO

Hsien IS to create a diversion OF inter
est in order to force unconditional pro-
lection of themselves.
Unofficial Chinese Of intelligence re-
gard the rising as most unfortunate al
the present time to the interests Of
China and as possibly meaning the use
of foreign troops to protect even the
court itself. The Ministers Of the pow
ers do not think that. provided foreign
interests do not suffer. any present in
reference is likely. II the dynasty
should be overthrown it would, 10 Ger
tain extent, delay the peace neEotis-
tons, but they consider that a regime
not bound by traditions like those Of
the present court probably would be
much easier to deal with eventually. as
the ceremonial could be much cur
tailed.
PROGRESS OF REBELLION.
PEKING. April s.-The Russian Min
lister TO China, NJ. Giers, responding 10
the letter from Prince Ching and il
Hung Chang regarding Nanchurla,
merely refuses to hold further com
with them upon the sub
iect. The Monaghan Prince, Olaskan,
of Prince Tuau, proves
to be an Important factor in the rebel
lion now in progress. He urges the re-
bellious troops to march ou Sian-Iu-
Chinese knowing General Tunr TUh
Sian say the Emperor brought the re-
belion upon his own head when he pub
lished the edict threatening the general
with future punishment on account OF
his present power and influence. Cen
eral Tung Fuh Sian would not permit
this and naturally desired To prove
that power. He has the entire NOLAN
medan population with him. Prince
Tuan also has a large following. while
Prince Olaskan controls the entire pro-
vince OF Mongolia.
ANARCHY POSSIBLE.
WASHINGTON, April q.-The STATE
has heard further from Nj
Rockhin, our special commissions al
Picking, touching the effort making
there to effect an agreement respecting
the indemnity TO be demanded from the
Chinese government. Mr.. Rockhills
effort acting under direct in
from Secretary Hay. is To in
duce the ministers Of other powers 10
keep down the total Of their claims 10
the amount which the financial experts,
headed by Sir Robert Hart, have de-
cided to be within the ability u China
TO pay.
The United States government has
'elt that on no account should the total
claim exceed z0. 600 900 pounds
sterling and has steadfastly sought 10
make that figure the outside limit OF the
claim For itself the State Depart
nent claims $4,000 600 indemnity and n
has supplied Mr.. Roclzhin with data for
the presentation Of an itemized account
showing the expenditures made by the
Of the United States fur
Of our military con-
urgency in China, its maintenance
here and the just claims Of the mis-
'ionaries who We're American citizens
and suffered I'm property and person
rom the Boxer outbreak. In its
anxiety to avoid expressing China and
% secure a speedy settlement Of the
Chinese question, the United States
government stands willing to make
heavy cut IN fits claim provided the
)ther nations represented ~ Picking
will abate their claims In proportion.
