WASHINGTON, April 15.-Mr. Rock.
hill. the United States special commits
sioner to China, has sent to the state
dcpartn' mt a revised statement of the
claims thus far filed by the powers
against the Chinese government. The
aggregate of the claims is lower than the
first report, being under 100000, 900,
but the authorities regard this as ex-
orbitant and will endeavOr to cut it in
half. Mr.. RockhilPs information shows
that the claims of the powers to date
are about as follows: Russia 100000, 600;
Germany, S1O.OOO.OOO; France, $40 .OOO,-
0OO; Japan, S3O,00O,0O0; United States,
$4,000, 900; Great Britain, S24. 900, 900;
Belgium. $3.50 900; Italy, Austria and
Spain. $30.00O,OOO Some of the powers
have not itemized their claims. and Mr..
Rockhilfs figures are only in the nature
of rough estimates. 1t would not be
surprising therefore should the claims
amount to more than stated above.

TO WAKE UP CHINA.
Unique Plan Proposed by a
Japanese Merchant.
RAILROADS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED.
Let Powers Agree Upon Indemnity
and Then Use Entire Amount In
Building Railways Through
out the Celestial Empirc

NEW YORK, April 15.-H. T. Bos-
man of Hongkong, accompanied by his
wife and servants, is in the city. At
home Mr.. Bosnian is better known as
Mr. IIo Tung, and he is one of the lead
ing merchants of his native city as well
as one of its most extensive property
owners. Mr.. Bosnian. though an orien-
tai. is n British subject and a Justice of
the peace in his maiestys service, being
a resident of Hongkong, British port.
Mr.. BOSNIAN is deeply Interested in the
trend of events politically in the far east.
TO a reporter in an interview he said:
81 believe that this is the golden OPP
portunity for the introduction of west
ern ideas into the Middle Kingdom and
that the apparent disagreement of the
powers on the amount of indemnity to be
paid for the Boxer disturbances should
lead to some sort Of compromise having
for it's object the development of un-
developed Asia rather than the levying of
a mere monetary fine which could be
raised by additional taxation and in the
/ end perhaps leave the real situation of
the country unchanged. | have plan in
my own mind which | think is worthy
of the attention of the diplomats, because
| believe it would be civlizing inilu-
ence. 1t is this;
LET the powers agree upon the amount
of indemnity to be paid and then contract
among themselves and with the Picking
government that the entire sum- say
/ 5000 100000 shall be used for building
railroads and for other internal improve
ments in China under the joint control OF
/ the powers, to be operated by them un
til the full amount of the investment is
returned and until China is in position
to become by purchase the sole owner oil
the improvements.
Railroads will do more to enlarge the
perspective of the Chinese than any Other
one agency. They will cause the peopl,
of the interior to travel and to acquire
that breadth of view which comes from
contact with the world. Now. Chin;
is in great need of railroads, while tn,
rest of the world is clamoring for broad
or trade facilities. The situation seems
to have been created for reciprocal nego
tiations along a certain line.
Railroads could be built by the pow
ers on the basis of 3 or per cent cumu
latve interest bearing indemnity BON
until the claims of all the powers ar
paid. In after years a chance could b
given to China to acquire the propertie
out of the net earnings after the ndem
nifty had been provided for. Any surplus
and | believe there would be a surplus
could be used to develop more railroads
BY that time the Chinese problem woul
have been solved.
Il honestly believe that the metho
outlined is the only one that will insur
the empire the internal improvements $
much desired by western powers With
reasonable time. 1t would do away wit
the effort of private parties or ipdepend
ent governments. like Russia, for il
stance, to secure concessions"

Beers SUFFER LOSS.
Kitchener Reports Three Small
engagements.
Observation-Disclosures
Through Private Sources the News
Has Reached london That the
General and Five Hundred
of His Men Are Prisoners.

LONDON, April 16.-The war office
has received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, April lo'
"Colonel Sir Henry Rawlinson's col
umn rushed the south laager northwest
of Klerksdorp at daylight. Six Beers
were killed 10 wounded and % taken
prisoners He captured a - FOUNDER one
pompom, complete, and two ammunition
wagons with ammunition. Our casualties
were three wounded.
Colonel Plumer captured a Geld cor
net and seven men, with ten wagons and
Is rifles.
During Colonel Pitchers operations in
Orange River Colony seven Beers were
killed"
General French has been reported
captured by the Beers, with 500 of his
men, in the hills northeast of Pretoria.
London, while not crediting the report,
is fully startled, for it is admitted that
the general may have fallen into trap
set for him.
The news of the capture came through
private sources, and the war office has
received nothing to confirm it.
Lacking conirmatory information, the
officials dispute the truth of the report.
This, however, does not relieve the
tension, it being pointed out that Gen
eral French, having had matters all his
own way for some time, may have in
cautiously been led on by the Beers in
new campaign in the north and sur
rounded and captured while separated
from the main body of his troops.
Dispatches from South Africa are
eagerly awaited.
General French was last heard from
IL, 81. Of hoiI in n
southeastern section of the Transvaal,
where he arrived on March %. With
Dartnal's and Poultney's columns he
had been sweeping the country, driving
the Beers to the north, he reporting on
his arrival having killed. wounded or
captured 200 of the enemy during Il
seven weeks campaign in the eastern
Transvaal.
In addition he had also taken guns,
1000 rifles. 1880 wagons and a large
number of horses, cattle and sheep
General French has since been at Pre-
toria but his movements were not given
in detail
The British newspapers and maya
zines, commenting upon the alternating
periods of hope and apprehension which
characterize the later stages of the
South African campaign, compare these
with the later stages of the American
war of Independence as though to en-
phasze these fluctuations.
While the letters of responsible CORE
spondents in Pretoria depict the situa-
ton in rather despairng mood the Pre-
toria representative of The Daily Mail
sends a dispatch of the most hopeful
character.
THE next six weeks" he says, Twill
see a resumption of active campaigning
Lord Kitchener will renew his sweeping
movements. He has an army of 100000
efficient troops, including 10000 mount
ed men, with good supply of horses,
10000 having been secured in Cape
Colony alone.
