GERMANY is DISPLEASED
OF INDEMNITY M
MANDED OF CHINA OFFENDS.
EXT of Claims Over EngIand's En-
pl"ined by Difference in Their
Armies.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Times Berlin
correspondent today represents the German
government as being in a state OF consider
able Indignation at the statement in the
American press of Mr.. Rockhilrs figures of
the lndemnities which may be demanded
from China. The Times says:
THE statement is exceedingly incorrect
and calculated to give an entirely false i'm
preston. The excess of the German over
the English claims is easily understood The
Germans sent much larger force from
Europe, while the British sent one from
India, comparatively near at hand. In these
circumstances it is regarded here as mat-
ter of deep regret that the misleading ac-
count published in America should be COM
mented on in the English papers in a spirit
calculated to give offense to Germany
Great indigna ton is expressed at the sug-
Seston that the indemnity claimed by Ger
many includes heavy pecunary mulct for
the murder of Baron Won Ketteler. The
baSelessness> of the supposition is shown by
the TACT that the German claim is only Sl2-
Oo0000, as against the $14 ,000, 600 stated by
Mr.. Rockhill, and, therefore, considerably
less than the amount already voted by the
relchstag for the campaign. There is no at
tempt in authoritative quarters to disguise
the fact that much can be said in favor of
the United States suggestion in regard to
the settlement of the indemnities, but the
German government has refrained from
taking up a definite attitude regarding it
until it sees how it is received by the other
mowers ~

Turmoil.

CEBU, Island Of Cebu. Philippines, April
ia thousand troops in the Island Of
Cebu are unable to accomplish the surren-
der or capture of the two hundred insur-
gent riflemen who are still out. Col Nc
Clernand says the terms the insurgents Of

OF the fifty towns, a dozen of the larger

The others are believed to have insursent
governments.
Judge Taft, addressing the convention to-
day, deplored the fact that Cebu was the
least pacified province. and called on the
delegates to decide whether two hundred
men would be permitted to restrain peace
and prosperity, or whether the majority
would organize and notify the mount ain
sulkers to cease causing trouble If the
people were not ready to do this .he CON-
mission would not supersede the military
by civil control. The exhortation was not
demonstratively received. The leading Wis
ayans from the twenty-four towns repre-
sented urged the organization of provin-
cial government and the wind up of the
rebellion. and commended Col. McClernand
as commanding wisely and without blood
shed.
The island probably, will be organized as
one province. The population numbers ESQ.,.

j. j. HILL SELLS STOCKS.
He Made $4,OOO,OOO on Some Recent
Transactions.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April lit was re-
ported in what usually well-informed
railroad circles yesterday that James J.
Hill of the Great Northern has disposed
of his Baltimore and Ohio and Erie stocks,
and that the operation has netted him ST.
100000. The stocks, it Is said We're bought
by Mr.. Hill simply as a speculation, and it
was never contemplated to make either of
the roads a factor in a transcontinentaI
system, as has been repeatedly reported.
The fact that Mr.. Hill had purchased the
stocks of these roads had the effect of
greatly enhancing the value Of the shares
Wall street at once jumped to the conclS-
sion that gigantic combinations We're beiNg
formed in which one or the other of these
roads was to be a component part 1t is
pointed out that Mr.. Hill has always per-
sistently denied these rumors and has
stated that his purchases Of the stocks
were simply for investment. The invest
ment now had shown what he considers
sufficient margin of profit, and he has dis
posed of his entire holdings.

Commissary General Weston denies posi-

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA
CZAR WILL MAINTAIN HIS OCCUPA-
TION OF THE PROVINCE.
May Settle With the Powers by Guar
anteeinE the Chinese
Indemnity.

Is it the purpose of Russia to maintain
her occupation of Manchuria and to settle
with the powers by guaranteeing the Chi
nese indemnity?
The opinion IS expressed in such quarters
as to render it worthy of high considera-
tion that Russia will never give up her
hold on Manchuria, even if she should have
to defy the powers to maintain it; and that
if she can secure the acquieScence of the
powers by so doing she will either assume
or guarantee the Chinese indemnity. The
opinion is expressed that Russia is now
finessing to that end.
May Have to Treat With Japan as to
COrea.
She may as indicated in dispatches this
morning. have to go further and treat with
Japan distinctively on the subject of Corea.
Whatever is necessary to be done, how
ever it is believed Russia will do to hold
Manchuria. 1t is maintained by some high
authorities that the contention of Russia
that Manchuria is not properly~e part of
China must be conceded; that Manchuria
is. in fact, attached only to the crown-the
Manchurian dynasty-and is not one of the
several provinces of China. If the Man.
churian dynasty were overthrown, it is
said, Manchuria would at once become dis
associated from China.
An Outlet to the Pacific.
Russia is determined to have a direct out
let to the Pacific through a port in a lati-
tude where trade will not be closed by ice
most of the year. Great Britain blocked
the way of the cZar to the Indian ocean,
and he then turned his attention to work
ing out a way across Siberia and through
Manchuria. Vast sums of money were
gathered and all the world was mystfied
until the great trans-Siberian railroad en-
terprise disclosed the cars purpose. The
occupation of Manchuria is necessary to
Russian plans, and now that circumstances
have favored her in getting possession it
is not believed that Russia will relinquish
that possession. Her interests can be pro-
tected only by the presence of an army,
and it is believed that an army of what
ever size may be necessary will be main
tanned there, whatever the cost may be.
May BE Accepted as Inevitable.
The suggestion Is made that this might
as we'll be accepted as inevitable, and that
the best solution for the other powers
would be to make terms on the basis Of
Russias guaranteeing the Chinese indem-
nifty in consideration of her being permitted
to remain in undisputed possession of Man
churia. AS far as the United States govern
ment is concerned, it is believed that we
Will maintain the policy of requiring the
recognition Of our commercial rights and
privileges under whatever conditions may
prevail with reference to the occupation of
territory.

WANTS A SOUTHERN ROAD.
Object of j. j. Hill in Securing the
Burlington.

CHICAGO, April 17.-In regard to the
Burlington, Great Northern and Northern
Pacific deal, the Record-Herald says:
What j. j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, wants of the Burlington is not
an outlet to Chicago link in an eastern
line for the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, but chiefly a connection with ST.
Louis and Kansas City. He wants to reach
the cotton of the south for transportation
over the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific and his steamships now building
to oriental markets.
1T is no part of his purpose 1T is de-
clared Mr.. Hill said, to use the Burlington
as an exclusive outlet for the two Pacific
roads TO Chicago. On the contrary all
the six Chicago roads which bring busi-
ness to the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific will have their fair share of the
traffic as now. 1t is understood that ST.
Paul Is to be the central headquarters of

SEATTLE, Wash, April 17.-In a fit OF

FOR A NEW STEEL PLANT.
III. c. Frick Interested in Enterprise
at BillingSnOrt. n. L.

PHILADELPHIA, April 17.-It is stated
on what appears to be good authority that
an immense steel forging plant will be
built at Billngsport, n. j., on the Della
ware river. Henry C. Frick and his friends
are said to be interested in the new enter
prise. According to the story told here
600 acres of land have been secured, with
ample water front, thus insuring the con-
structfon of wharves, so that supplies from
the mines of Pennsylvania and elsewhere
could be laid down directly at the works
by water at the least cost.
The site selected fronts on the Delaware
river between Red Bank and Lincoln Park.
about ten miles below Philadelphia 1t is
level ground, and the area of land pur-
chased would warrant the laying out of
villages for the working people, in addition
to the big steel plant.
