London, Mav 12.In the house of commons yesteiday, Premiei Balfoui said that, having regard for the changes, in the sea power of other nations, a redistribution of the fleet and arinv was desirable for colonial defen.se, and the committee of defense of the admi ralty had concluded that the fleet and the army should be concentiated the center oi the empne, from which they would be distributed as necessity arose. Mr. Balfour remarked that the de velopment ot Russia towaids India had from time to time caused great alarm. Gieat Britain had in \ain, by diplo matic means, endeavored to pi event Russia's expansion, v\hich must now be taken as an accepted fact. Altho the invasion of India was much talked of by Russian officers, he did not be lieve that it foimed any pdit of the scheme of the Russian government. Mr. Balfour stated that, in consider ing the difficulties of the invader, he was obliged to babe his calculations on the supposition that the enemy would be France, the country neaiest to Great Britain. He added it as the last thing in the woild he regaided as possible. The piemiei thought submarine boats would be of great importance as a unit in naval waitare generally, and at least in attempts to land soldiers on a hos tile coaist. I twas the opinion of Field Marshal Lord Roberts that it was use less to attempt an invasion ot Great Britain with less than 70,000 men, and, even it they landed, it was but a for lorn hope that would reach London. CHINA NOW LOOKS FOR INDEMNITIES Chentung Liang Cheng Gets Him self Into Eot Water with Yankee Officials. Wew York Sun Special Service. Washington, May 12.Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister, hats got himself into hot water with the de partment of commerce and labor, thru what is regarded by immigration offi cials as a too zealous effort to protect his country men from haish treatment undei the Chinese exclusion law The depaitment has just obtained a copy of a circular of instructions sent by the minister to Chinese consular of ficeis thruout the countiy, in which he describes minutely the rights of Chin ese subjects under the treaty existing between his government and the United States, and diiects that in case they are ovemdden by American officials a re port with Bworti' statements of wit nesses shall be forwarded to him. In other words, China has leached the point where she proposes to make the United States pay her an indemnity if any of her subjects can piove they have been maltreated. The Chinese exclusion question has always been a delicate one for the Chi nese legation. Wu Tmg-fan'g was con stantlv on the verge of being given his passports because of his too free criti cism of this government connection with the enforcement of the law and Sir Chentung Liang Cheng may have placed himself in' the same perilous po sition, if what officials of the depart ment of commerce and labor say is to be believed.
