FRANCE PROTECTS

fender OF the Faith Will Look
After Indemnities.

Washington, April 16--In the ques-
ton of Chinese indemnities. which is
going ON at Pekln and also at the var-
GUS foreign capitals, II has been deyel-
oped that the French government is de-
sirous Of looking after not only those
claims Of distinctly national charac-
ter relating to France and French sub
jects, but also the extensive class Of
claims Of Catholic institutions and mis-
sionaries In making known this desire
the French authorities have made II
clear that they look upon the non.
military claims as quite as worthy Of
consideration as those connected with
the equipment OF military expeditions.
The extent of these depredatlons to
Catholic persons and property in China.
IS said TO be very large, owing to the
number OF Catholic missions main-
tanned throughout the Chinese empire.
Ut Is said that some 5000 persons, d.

sides these much property has been de-
stroyed and damaged. As the Catholic
authorities have no official status Ia the
negotiations az Pekn, they have natur-
ally looked TO the French government
as most likely 10 render thom such aid
as might be proper In the circum-
stances. This assistance has been read
ily granted, and as a result, the various
governments have heen advised Of the
desire OF the French authorities to see
that these non-military losses receive
suitable attention as far as possible.
1t Is desired 70 separate this class Of
claims from those Of a purely national
aud military character. and to Leave
them for subsequent adjustment. The
claims refer not only TO French Catho-
JIG missions and missionaries, but in
clude also practically the entire range
Of claims which Catholic missions have
suffered.
