OUR REGRETS TO ITALY.
State Department Does the Proper
Thing in Matter of Lynching.


Washington, July 22.-The acting
Secretary of State to-day sent a COM
munication to Mr.. Karigni, the charge
d'affaires of the Italian embassy, ex-
pressing the regret of this government
at the lynching of two Italians recently
in Mississippi, and informing him that
efforts We're being made to bring the
perpetrators to justice. Attention was
directed. to the fact that it had not
been established officially that the men
lynched were Italian subjects.
The same information as that con-
tanned in the note to the Italian charge
was forwerded to- day to Mr.. Iddings,
the charge d'affaires of the United
States embassy at Rome, with instruc-
tions to lay it before the Italian for
eign office. Gov. Longino of Mississip-
pi has advised the Italian counsel at
Vicksburg of the steps he has taken to
apprehend the guilty persons.
The letter details the active steps the
Governor has taken to apprehend those
guilty of the recent outrage at Erwin,
Miss, in which two Italians were killed
and another was wounded. The Gov
ernor, who has been to the scene of
the affair, is apprehensive of consid-
cradle difficulty in locating the guilty
parties, as he states that the crime
was committed at midnight by masked
men, who departed quickly and quiet
ly, leaving no trace of their move

INDEMNITY PLAN ADOPTED.
China to Raise S23.O00,OOO Annually
for bonds.

Washington, July 22.-The state de-
partment received a dispatch to-day
from Commissioner RockhilI at Pekin
announcing that a plan for the pay
ment of the indemnity to the powers
by the Chinese government finally had
been adopted. A
The amortization of the bonds to be
issued will begin in 1902 and the plan
contemplates the entire liquidation of
both principal and interest by 1910. 1t
is expected that China will raise $23,
100000 annually. This sum is to be
used to pay the interest on the bonds
and to form a sinking fund for the ul-
innate liquidation Of the principal.
.ainl Mr. ReckhfsFs Dispatch.
Mr.. Rockhills. dispatch was very
brief and did not go into any details.
From their knowledge of the general
basis upon which the ministers have
been working, however. the state de-
partment officials have a general idea
of the conclusions which have been
reached. The total amount of indem-
nifty which China will have to pay will
aggregate 450,000,000 taels and bear
per cent annual interest The sources
of revenue for the payment of the in
demnity as understood here are to be
the Gabelle or salt tax, the maritime
customs and the Ii kin tax, a portion
to be taken from each.
The bonds guaranteeing the indem-
nifty are to be distributed among the
various Powers on the basis agreed
upon heretofore. There will be no in
ternatienal guarantee, but it is expect
ed that the governments to whom the
bonds are allotted will see to it that
purchasers Will be safe in their invest
mentS.
