TIE POWERS ASK
HUGE INDEMNITY.
Russia Demands Right TO Deal lnde-
pendentIy Regarding Manchuria
JApAN'S CLAIM VERY MODERATE.
Germany Wants ! eSs Than Russia, Whose
CIa IN Is S90,909,CG0. =. The Total Will Be
Far In Excess of the Amount Which China
is Able TO Pay'.Russia Has Stated that She
Had No Idea OF AnnexiGg Manchuria.

Washington (SpeciaD The efforts of
the State Department, through Special
commissioner ROckhill, to keep down
the total of the indemnity demanded on
lima TO sum not to exceed S2oo, ooo,-
GO have so far proved a failure, and
tacre is little prospect OF success.
he British Government is in entire
harmony with the United States in this
II after and has agreed to take sum
somewhat lower than that of the United
States, which is approximately $500
co, though our Government is willing
TO reduce its claim if others will do the
same. The British Government like
that of the United States, prefers COM
mercial privileges to money demands
which China cannot meet
The heaviest claim for indemnity so
far put in is that of Russia, which wants
$9c,Coo,ooo, and in addition claims the
right to deal in the Manchurian matter
separately with China without any re-
gard 20 the other Powers. Germany is
willing to take $4,000, 900 less than Rus
STA. or $6o,coo,ooo, but if Russia insists
on $oo,ooo,ooo Germany will probably in
sist on $So,ooo,ooo.
Japan is reasonable and agrees entire
ly with the United States and Great
Britain. France, however, insists on a
large sum, while Italy, Austria and some
other nations, such as Spain. Belgium
and Holland, that suffered no particular
loss, and contributed nothing in the way
OF troops, are putting in demands in ex-
cess of those of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan.
This is condition of things that gives
very little promise of bringing down the
claims to any reasonable sum, such as
China can pay. At the present time there
seems to be no hope of reducing the ag
gregate below $3oo,ooo.oco, and it may
reach $500, 900. Nothing has yet
been determined respecting the method
Of raising the indemnity fund, even after
an agreement is reached
