WILL GIVE UP NO PART.
Others Can Have None of Our Chi
Indemnity.

The United States will surrender no
part of its share in the Chinese indemnity
to the other Powers.
This fact has been made plair to num-
Der OF diplomats who have called at the
State Department recently. Because the
President, in 4 message to Congress,
recommended an appropriation OF $1,000,
900 to meet the urgent needs OF some of
the American sufferers from the Boxer
outrages, and a report became current
that the United States military expenses
during the trouble were but $4,000 900. the
impression prevailed that this Govern
ment would accept but seven millions
from China.
AS our share was fixed at S25. 100000
some of the other Powers with large
claims jumped at the conclusion that they
would be able TO divide among themselves
the remaining eighteen millions OF dol
lars.
The State Department has made the
case plain to the diplomats by stating that
the United States does not intend to re-
linquish her claim until all who are en-
titled to indemnities are compensated
Then il there is any balance 1t Will be re-
turned to China, but not until after the
Powers have each received their allow
ance They have been given to under
stand that the United States will not per-
init them TO share in it.
They have also been told that their con-
clusions were entirely wrong in assuming
that the claims of this Government and
its citizens would not exceed $1,000, 600.
