MORE CLAIMS.
French Government Still Has a Batch
in Reserve


Washington, April 16.-In the question
Of Chinese indemnity which is going on
at Pelxin and also at the various foreign
capitals it has been developed that the
French government is DESTROYS of look
ing after not only those claims of dis
tinctly national character, relating to
France and French subjects but also the
extensive class of claims of Catholic in
situations and missionaries. In making
known this DESIRE the French authori-
ties have made it clear that they look
upon the non-military claims as quite
as worthy Of consideration as those con-
nected with the equipment of military
expeditions. The extent of these depre-
dations to Catholic persons and property
IN CHINA IS said to be very large owing
to the number of Catholic missions
maintained throughout China. 1t is said
that some 30000,000 persons. directly and
many of them native converts, have been
killed or injured during the course of the
disturbance, Besides this much prop
erty has been destroyed and damaged
As the Catholic authorities have no off,
cial status in the negotiations at Pekin
they have naturally looked to the French
government as most likely to render
them such aid as might be proper in the
circumstances. This assistance. has been
readily granted and as a result the var
ious governments have been advised of
the desire of the French authorities to
see that these non-miIitary losses re-
ceive suitable attention, as far as pos
sible.
1t is desired to separate this class of
claims from those of a purely national
and military character. and to leave
them for subsequent adjustment. The
claims refer not only to French Catholic
missions and missionaries, but include
also practically the entire range of
claims which Catholic missions have
