The Amount Too Hlah.

Washington, April 16.-The last ad-
vices to the state department from Mr..
Rockhill contain further details re-
specting the amount of indemnities
claimed from China by the powers. 1t
appears that these claims have been
much exaggerated in some statements,
although the sum total is still far in
excess of the amount of money 1t is
believed here that China can raise. 1t
is the belief of the state department
that the total claims should not be
allowed to exceed $3.50, 900, 900 or $780,
100000. According to the information
received here, the British claim, so
far as formulated, is reasonable in
amount, as compared with other
claims. In fact, the United States and
Japan represent, in these negotiations,
the moderate element. whose desire
is to prevent the imposition of charges
that shall dstroy the Chinese govern
ment and result in the division of the
empire None of the claims exceeds
s100,O00,O00, and even the largest is
something less than this amount. This
is believed to be the Russian claim,
which is fixed at $9O,O0OOOO. The Ger
man claim is flexible, ranging between
$60,000,000 and $S0,O00,000, but is near.
er the former mark at present, though
il. doubtless. will grow. AS already
stated, the claim of the United States
is $25,000,000, and, with these few to
tails, it will be seen that if the remain
ing powers are to be allowed a pro
portionate share, the aggregate will be
beyond China's ability to pay, which
has been tentatively placed at $500,
100000 Nothing has yet been deter
mined respecting the method of rails
ing the indemnity fund, even after al
agreement is reached.

THE WINTER CAMPAIGN.
Kitchener viii Soon Resume Active
Operations.

LONDON, April 1.-THE British
newspapers and magazines comment
ing upon the alternating periods of
hope and apprehension which char
acterize the latest stages of the South
African campaign, compare these
with the latter stages of the Amer
ican war OF independence as though
to emphasize these fluctuations.
While the letters of responsible cor
respondents in Pretoria depict the sit
uation in a rather despairing mood,
the Pretoria representative of the
Daily Mail sends today a dispatch of
the most hopeful character.
THE next six weeks" says he,
will see a resumption of active cam
paigning. Lord Kitchener will renew
his sweeping movements. He has an
army of 250,000 efficient troops, in
cluding $4,000 mounted men with a
good supply of horses, 10000 having
The army is in good spirits and Lord
Kitchener is satisfied with the prog

lowing dispatch from Lord Kitchener

Colonel Henry Rawlinson's column
rushed the South lager, northwest
of Kerksdorp at daylight. Six Beers
were killed, 10 wounded and % taken
prisoner. He captured a 12-pounder

casualties were three wounded. Col

1t is said that a private telegram
has been received here to the effect
that General French, with 500 Brit
ish troops, has been captured by the
Beers, while his force was envel

frmation of the report can be OBJ
tanned. The war Office here knows
nothing about the rumored capture
and entirely discredits the report
