and then it was a case Of the shoe on
the other foot. Then there was the viz
ginius affair. also in 1873, when the
Spaniards took an American steamer on
the high seas and shot many Of her
crew That was in October. She was
giten up in December. and in the spring
of 1875 Spain paid $50 900 toward the re-
lief Of the families Of those who were so
foully executed. 1t was a small sum to
pay for such an atrocious act. and
Spain thought at the time she got off
cheap. But the real reckoning came 20
years later. after the sinking Of the
Maine. Both acts, however. were fol-
lowed by swift retribution. and Spain
paid for them by expulsion from this
hemisphere
China has hardly recovered from the
shock administered to her by the virlle
japanese in the war of 1S94-5. when aft
er being terribly punished and her ter
ritory overrun she was compelled to
pay an indemnity of $50, 900. 900 taels.
80. 600 900 of which was for the retroces-
sion OF the Liau-Tong peninsula. which
Russia afterward acquired for nothing
and sim holds. Both Russia and Eng
land desired to finance China's debt to
Japan and nearly came to blows at that
time. but in the end it was poor John
Chinaman who paid the bills. IN fact,
some Of the bills contracted at that
time are now falling due. owing to
China's shortsighted policy In appor-
tioning some of her territory among the
powers six years ago.
AS may be gathered from the preced-
ing citations. China's position in respect
to the exaction Of indemnity is not pc
culiar; but, on the contrary. she has
very respectable company. In the pres
ent instance the proposed indemnity is
estimated at rather more than she paid
to Japan after the war in which she
was so soundly thrashed The sum gem
orally stated is about 5000. 900 900. while
the former indemnity amounted to $780,
coo 900 taels. roughly reckoned at $780,
600. 900. This amount will be divided
among the respective claimants. eight
in number according to the losses
they have suffered and the expense
they have incurred. Germany. of
course, win come first, and the United
States-in order to be consistent and to
set an example of tolerance-will prob
ably come last and be put off with the
least ROGER P. BARHUM.
