SETTLED At LAST.
Allied Powers Finally Agree on
Chinese Payments.

New York, May s1-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There is no ofncial information from
Downing street, but it is generally be-
heVed that the China question has been
settled. Berlin dispatches state exphe-
lily that the Chinese government has
agreed TO pay interest at 4 per cent on
tina Indemnity. and as the amount Of
the principal had previously been set-
tied, the last obstacle to the withdrawal
of foreign troops and the return Of the
court to Pelkin has been removed
It has been a long chapter OF diDlo-
macy. with nearly Z months OF intrigue
but the end has been reached without
the partition Of China or any disturb
ance Of the relations Of the powers. The
German emperor has probably scored
more heavily than anybody else He has
obtained from England joint rights for
the guardianship of the Yangtse valley
without estranging Russia. and Won
Waidarsse has been in command Of the
allied forces and the most conspicuous
figure in complex drama, in which in
genious by-play has not been lacking
What England has gained from the ALI
ance with Germany is not apparent to
close observers. Her interests have not
been essentially different from those OF
the United States. but her diplomatic
work has been done more clumsily.

Cubans Must Accept Platt Amend

the subject being the meaning and

stitutiona1 convention in accepting the
Plat amendment with what the Cubans
have called Secretary Roots interpre-
tation of that amendment What con-
cluSion, if any, was reached, 1t not
known, nor is it known how wide q
range the discussion took The hurried
nature of the conference and the fact
that Senators Platt and Spooner were
summoned here by telegraph from their
homes by the secretary of war indicates
the desire of the president to have a
definite programme with regard to
Cuba to submit to the cabinet The fur
Their fact that none OF those VINO TOOK

form in which the Plat amendment
was adopted by the convention at
