OHINA's APPEAL FOR MERCY.
Asks For Thirty Years TO Pay the
Indemnity Demanded

Washington, May ia cablcgran.
from Mr.. Rockhill, our special minis
sioner at Pekin. received at the state
department yesterday, mentions the re
ceipt by the ministers OF the response
OF the Chinese ENJOYS to the ministers
demands for indemnity. The dispatch
indicates briefly that the Chinese rep
resent that an annual payment of S10,-
100000 is the full extent of their power
to pay on indemnity accounts. 1t will
take 80 years to discharge the debt al
that rate, without interest. Mr.. Rock
hill make no mention of the subject OF
interest
According to a press dispatch the
answer OF China commences with an
appeal to mercy, saying that the coun-
try is impoverished. The answer ex-
plains that the utmost China can offer
is $4,000, 900 taels annually for the next
30 years. The ministers refuse to dis
cuss this answer until II has been CON
sidered by them in meeting.
