BEST KILLERS ON EARTH
GEN. j. III. WILSON'S OPINION OF
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS.
Anecdotes of the Capture of Peking
by the AIlies-HOw the Wall
Was Scaled.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Military Order
of the Loyal Legion of the United States
held its annual dinner and meeting tonight
at Delmonico's. Gen. James III. Wilson, one
of the speakers, devoted his time to anec-
dotes and recollections of the Peking cam
aign. He paid high tribute to the United
States troops. I'VE were not a very large
contingent" he said, 'but we were easily
in the front rank among the allies. The
Russian commander of artillery told Cen
eral Chaffee that ne took off his hat to our
artillery. AS for our infantry-well, let me
recall the story of the stormng of the
walls of Peking. when the Fourteenth In
fantry, commanded by old Daggett, found
itself under the shadow of the wall. A pri-
vate went to the colonel, and said as he
locked critically at the battlements above
him:
L can scale that wall colonel
'All right said Daggett; go ahead
''He went ahead and scaled the wall.
Then he hauled the colonel up and soon
had the two companies on the wall. They
found there a number of Russians. who had
got to the top during the night but were
afraid to go out to sally port in the i'm
mediate vicinity and clear it. Daggett and
his men went through the sally port and let
in Riley and his guns. Then it was all
over
1--WE must not be vainglorious about the
American soldier. He is not a great dis
ciplinarian. His collar does not always fit
right and his leggngs may lack few loops
OF being fastened. but when 1t comes to
fighting he gets there. IL is my private
opinion that the American soldier is the
best killer on top of the earth"
General Wilson paid high tribute to
the Japanese. saying that they were not a
healthy lot TO scrap with"
Some one asked about Funston, and Gen.
eral Wilson said he was good soldier, in
spite of the fact that he was inexperienced.
After his career I'm the Philippines and
his capture OF Aguinaldo" said General
Wilson. Il rejoice that the President made
him a brigadier general" This allusion
20 Funston was the signal for an ovation
on the part OF the veterans, who rose from
their chairs and cheered for five minutes.
Referring TO the British soldiers in China.
General Wilson said they were chiefly
'niggers," as their officers called them.
He said: Great Britain has more world
business on hand than she can attend to
with white men, You need not lie awake
nights worrying about England so long az
she has to rely to so great an extent on the
troops OF India and other native forces.
They are very poor material"
The speaker paid a tribute TO General
Chaffee. saying he was a brusque clear
headed soldier. who looked one straight in
the face and said what he thought in spite
OF anything.

PARIS. May 1.-The Foreign Office has
received a dispatch from Peking announc-
ing that Nj. Pichon, the French minister,
presented to-day the report of the COM
mittee on indemnity. The amount China
is to pay is fixed al 1866. 10000 francs. How
Il is proposed that the indemnity be distrib
uted among the powers is not set forth,
but the dispatch does not mention The
Hague IL is thought that the ministers are
hopeful of being able to settle the pro-
portion to be received by each power by
discussion at Pekng The indemnity figure
is under what had been expected in Paris
as IL was thought the total would reach
one and one-half milliards of francs There
Is much disappointment over the fact that
the United States is supporting England
against an increase in the customs. This
is attributed to the influence of the Ameri-
can trading community in China. 1t is be-
lieved that England, if alone, would yield;
but fears are entertained that England's
scheme is TO prolong the negotiations until
her hands are free in South Africa. when
she would show stronger policy in Chi
nese affairs.
The ministers are divided into two par
ties in the discussion TO decide how China
Is 10 raise the indemnity. france, 1eT-
many, Russia and Japan agree in favor or
raising the customs duties, which can be
relied upon 10 produce a great part of the
requisite sum, and the imposition of duty
on junks, which will constitute tax en-
inland navigation. and the taking over of
some of the Likin provincial transit du-
tes) On the other hand the United States
and Great Britain decline to agree to an in
crease of the customs duties, but they do
not appear to have presented a counter
proposition. The fact that the United
States and Great Britain have Joined hands
on this question has caused surprise here.
Ii was hoped that the United States would
stand with France and Russia. The result
will be TO greatly protract the negotiations.

Concerning the question Of evacuation,
opinions were divided. The British, Japan

opinion that the evacuation could not COM

commence by Withdrawing 5000 in a fort

the troops in six weeks leaving only
colonial troops here, on account of the cli-
matte conditions. The Italian and Aus
trian commanders had no instructions. and

of the troops, and which also will increase
