MINISTERS CHANGE FRONT
Property of Guilty Chinese OFF,
cials Not to Be Confiscated.

Suspicion OF Decision Regarding
the Possessions of Kang-yi-The
Southern Provinces VIII Have 90
Pay a Large Part of the IndemnIty
PEKEN. June 26,-Considerable dissatis-
faction has arisen because Of the change
in front of the ministers In the matter OF
confscation of the property of those Chi
nese officials found guilty OF abetting the
recent Boxer revolution. The representa-
tives of the Powers originally proposed to
take over all the property of the guilty
officials, but this plan seems TO have been
abandoned. with one or two exceptions
The property Of the Grand Secretary,
Hsu T'ung. being in that part of the Ie-
cation quarters occupied by the Belgians.
has already been confiscated. The prop
erty of Kang-yi was in the British sec
ton. and Sir Claude Macdonald, the for
mer British Minister, decided that it
should certainly be conhscated- Sir Ernest
satow, the present British Minister. has
decided, however. to transfer the property
to the Chinese authorities, who will de-
eide to eonfseate it themselves. This pro-
cess is said to be merely a blind ard it is
believed that Kang-yi will not lose his
possessions.
The missionaries had applied to Cen
eraI Barrow for mis- consent to secure the
property in question, but now they must
present their petition te the Chinese Gov
ernment, and it viii probably De ignored.
Naturally, those responsible for the re-
cent uprising and its attendant outrages
should be made to suffer the most but N
reality the peaceful southern provinces
viii be compelled to pay a large portion OF
the indemnity. while the notorious leaders
in Pekin viii be permitted 10 escape the
fullest punishment for their treachery-
The Chinese themselves expected that the
property Of those whose names we're
placed upon the black list by the foreign
ministers would certainly be cenfiscated-
Now they express the greatest surprise,
and considerable dissatisfaction, at the
decision Of the ministers which allows
chief offenders to escape without just
penalties.
