GARDENER CALLED ON FOR PROOF.
ABANDONMENT OF HIS CHARGES NOT A
SUFFICIENT ANSWER.

letter to the board which is inquiring into the
charges of cruelty brought by Major Cornelius
Gardener. Governor of the province OF Tayabas.
Luzon against American officers and soldiers
saying that the abandonment by Major Gar
dener Of the charge that higher officers in the
army in the Philippines were hostile to the civil
government there was not the answer that Sec
retary of War Root expected from him. Gen
eral Chaffee wrote also that Major Gardener
was not a judge of the effect of proving this
in convening the present board was taken in
order that Major Gardener should produce his
witnesses The abandonment Of the charge by
the major led to the inference that 1t was false
but, true false continued General Chaffee,
it affected injuriously the characters Of high
officers.
The board has demanded of Major Gardener
that he produce testimony covering the alleged
hostility Major Gardener promised to answer
this demand later.
Counsel for Major Gardener. when questioned
refuse to produce witnesses. He declared that
Major Gardeners report to Civil Governor Taft
confidential. and that the major would only
produce witnesses to protect himself If court
martialed.
At to-days session of the board Major Ger

CHINA REFUSES TO PAY.
A DEFINITE STAND ON THE STRENGTH
OF SUPPORT FROM THIS COUNTRY.

Peking, July 1.-The Taotai OF Shanghai has
given notice to the Bankers Commission that
China refuses TO pay the July instalment of the
indemnity except at the rate OF exchange pre-
vailing on April l. 1901. The foreign ministers
consider that the Taotai's declaration is the
result Of the announcement of the United States
Minister Mr.. Conger to the Chinese Govern
ment that the United States sustains China's
contention, and is willing to accept payment
on the basis mentioned. But the ministers are
confident that China will accept the decision Of
the majority of the ministers when she Is con-
vinced that the United States is her only sup
Torter. Some Of the ministers insist that the
United States policy is unreasonable and IN
direct opposition to the terms Of the protocol.
They assert that Prince Ching, head OF the
Foreign Office and other Chinese officials pc
fore learning that China had the support or the
United States in this matter admitted that
their arguments were rather a plea TOT mercy
than demand for justice.
Great Britain proposes to permit silver pay
ment of the indemnity until 1910. on account
OF China's great loss owing to the depreclatloh
of the price of silver. The ministers OF the
other powers regurd the proposal as being a
further complication and equivalent 10 an

ATTITUDE OF THE UNITED STATES
CHINA's CONTENTION REGARDED AS REA-
sONABLE AND PROPER.

Washington. July 1.-The State Department
has not yet been informed of the Chinese re-
fusal TO pay the July indemnity, which is the
first payment OF money to become due from
China to the powers since the signature OF the
Peking agreement The department regrets be-
ing placed in position Of taking issue with the
powers on this question. which is so important
that grave doubt is entertained as to the prooa-
BILE effect of an insistence on the European con-
tention as affecting China's integrity 1t IS new
ertheIeSs the case that careful reading OF the
proceedings of the ministers at Picking which led
up to the agreement, taken in connection with
the context of that document has convinced
the department that it was the unquestionabl bic
purpose of the ministers, and that purpose was
clearly set out in their proceedings, to permit
China to pay the indemnity at the rate Of eX-
change as it existed the date Of signature,
and IL is equally clear that what appears to be
a contradictory clause in the agreement was
nothing more less than inadvertence.
However. the United States has not gone to the
length of refusing to accept its payment on the
same basis as the other powers, namely, at the
current rate of exchange. All it has done in
that direction was to notify China that it re-
garded her contention as reasonable and
