That Platt Amendment Will

Washington, April 2s.-The Chinese
minister today stated that all informa-
ton reaching him shows the imperial
authorities are doing their utmost to
avoid a clash beween the Chinese forces
and those under foreign command. This
applies not only to the province of Pc
chill, but also to Manchuria and to the
Yangtse region as. according to the re-
cent report, an uprising of Boxers is be-
ing planned, for the coming summer.
The thanks which Ii Hung Chang
has given Rockhill for the course of the
United States in the indemnity nego-
tiations are in line With similar thanks
which Minister Wu expressed to Sec
retary Hay, the Chinese authorities
having taken occasion several times Of
late to make known their appreciation
of American efforts to keep the total
indemnity down to a sum which China
could reasonably meet.

Christian science Abroad.

London. April 29.-Christian Science
has taken a strong hold on English So
ciety, and it has planted itself pretty
firmly thruout the kingdom. Prominent
members of the London church are the
Marchioness of Bath, Lord and Lady
Tankerville, Lady Grey, the Earl and
Countess of Dunmore. Lady Ashbourne,
wife OF the lord chancellor of Ireland; !;
Lady Ramsay and the wife of the mas
ter of Trinity
Lord Tankerville is also leading
supporter of the Salvation Army, and
frequently addresses Its members. He
is firmly convinced of the efficacy of
Christian science and the god and social
efforts of the army, and thinks mem
bership in both is not inconsistent.
The present headquarters of the
Christian Silence church are in Bryan
stone street, in the heart of the fash
ionable quarter. Many who drive up in
carriages have to be turned away each
Wednesday evening when the church
meets, owing to the limited accomoda-
ton. 1t is planned to build a new meet
ing place to seat a thousand.

Cuban Delegation Predict Accept
ance of I.lntt Amendment.
New York, April 29.-Even annexation
might be acceptable to Cuba if 1t came
after independence, said DIR. Rafael NJ.
Portuondo. member of the delegation
from the Cuban national convention to
Washington last night For fifty years
she fought and bled for independence.
That once attained she would agree to
any fair demands the United States
could make
Gen. Portuondo was eloquent in ex-
pressons of satisfaction with the result
of the mission to Washington.
There was a misunderstanding" he
said. "and now for US at least, 1t has ali
been cleared. The trouble was with the
Plat amendment. Many Cubans sus-
ipected 1t. They did not know what ii
meant. They doubted the motive that
lay behind It, They thought 1t might be
unfair, not to Cuba only, but to the
United States. The explanation given
us at Washington was plain and dispels
our doubts None of us can now cues
ton the honesty or impugn the fair
mindedness Of the senate. To be sure,
there are terms about the amendment
which can not be adopted, but think a
great deal has been accomplished"
Asked how long 1t would take to es-
ltablish the Cuban government, Portu-
ondo replied:
Not less than ten months. There
must be conventions and elections be-
fore the electoral council which chooses
the president is selected. That will take
time. and think we shall feel satisfied
II our government is set In motion by
Feb. "a, next year. That. you know, is
our 4th of july. the anniversary of our
ifse against Spain.
Our electoral body will be made up
equally of representatives from profess
sional men, wealthy citizens and pro-
vincial assemblies. The president must
be native Cuban or one who fought
ten years for Cuban independence. SEN
ators must be native. but representa-
tives may be native or naturalized citi-
zensn
