PEKIN, April o.-The reported action Of
the American agent at Shanghai In pre-
senting a silver bond for China's signature
has caused CONSERVATION among the Euro
pean Ministers here and aggravated the
indemnity situation, although some Of the
Ministers refuse 10 believe that the United
States agree to the payment of the indem-
nifty in silver. II is believed that II the
report is true. this fact, taken In connec-
ton with China's general fragrant viola

mately precipitate q demand for gold
bonds.
1t is also believed that it will delay the

on April 8. The Powers are assembling
warships at Newchwang to witness the

In the winter the city will keep a

they will be materially benefited, as
it will certainly cost them less TO

keep up the whole of the expense:
and the water the city turns in will
have to bear its proportion of the loss

there is in ditch the less loss in
