Prince Ching Takes Issue with kis-
sionaries Regarding Mongolia.
DILATORY TACTICS OF MINISTER'S.


Pekin, April 15.--Prince Ching says
oil his reports go to show that the
missionary statements regarding a
rebellion In Mongolia are not sup
ported by the facts. Neither does he
believe that the rebellion Of Gen. Tung
Flu Chang amounts to much. 1T Ia
the object Of certain elements" he
asserts, ITO make 1t seem that China
Is In a condition OF constant broil,
rendering 1t unsafe for the foreign
troops to be withdrawn. Those who
have this in view will magnify q vii
lage quarrel into big rebellion. The
missionaries, naturally timid, take
these reports in good faith
The conduct Of the ministers Of the
powers over the negotiations with
the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes
much adverse comment among the
military authorities. Their dilatory
tactics have prevented what might
have been accomplished two months
ago. Even now the meetings of the
ministers are postponed for the most
trivial causes. For instance, the de-
sire Of one minister to 20 on a picnic
to the tombs Of Ming dynasty pre-
vented the holding of meeting tor a
number Of days. Then M. De Giers
and other ministers insisted upon
celebrating Easter and thus a week
was consumed. In third visit by
one minister to Tien Tsln held up ne
gotlations for four days. These are
fair illustrations of what has been al
most continuous since the beginning
The preparations which the Jap.
anese here are making for an early
start indicate that they expect war
between Russia and Japan. Vessels
arriving ut Taku from Nagasaki re.
port the mobilization Of the Japanese
feet and the continuance Of prepare.
tions on board ship for the antici-
pated struggle.
The japanese minister has notified
Prince Ching that the return Of EN-
peror Kwang Su to Pekin was earnest
ly desired.
The Claims for Indemnity.
Washington, April 1s.-From adj
vices received at the state department
It is apparent that most Of the for
eign ministers at Pekin do not take
kindly to the position Of the United
States that the indemnity TO be paid
by China should not exceed $2OO,OOO,-
600. Great Britain and Japan, It Is
learned, have aligned themselves with
this government in its endeavor to sc.
cure more lenient terms for China
but against these three nations are
nine others. Some of the smaller ma,
tions, not regarded as powers, have
also put In large claims for indem-
nifty, and as all have an equal voice
in the determination OF the questions
under consideration at pekin, the
combined influence Of such govern.
ments as those Of the United States
Great Britain and Japan counts for
no more than that of three small
countries, such as Spain, Belgium and
Holland.
