Sir Cheng Liang Cheng, tho retiring Chinese' am bassador to the United States, today made tho following statement to the Associated Press: "I shall make public the contents of an official noto which wns received from the secretary last Saturday and which shows better than anything else tho re markably high sense of justice which tho United States has used in all deal ings with China. You remember after tho Boxer troubles tJhina agreed to pay an indemnity of $25,000,000 on account of losses entailed by tho United States government ns well as for personal property lost by citizens during tho Boxer campaign. Four years ago your government was good enough to prom iso me that when tho timo arrived, as a token of its sincere friendship for China, tho original figures of tho in demnity would bo revised.

Tho fnqt thnt tho Indem nity is being collected under n treaty makes it impossible for tho executive to act alone in this mnttor.

I 0 OS URfl Number 214 FEAR BLOODSHED French Government Seems to Have Been Hasty in Prose cuting Revolutionaries, DYNAMITE ON TRACKS AND WIRES ARE CUT General Rising'of Countryside When the Government An nounces Steps Against the Leaders of Wine Growers, By Associated Press. PARIS, June 18. Tho government appears to have acted too soon to set tho law in motion against tho revolu tionaries in the south of France. Pre fects report the commencement of ef forts to raise tho populace and thrco departments, the Aude, Porault and Pyrenees, aro apparently nearing the stage when aggressiveness will replace passivity. Advices from Narbonne, in the de partment of Aude, show the situation thero will become worec. Dynamite has been discovered on rails and in tome cases tracks have been removed, telegraph wires cut so as to impede tho arrival of troop3 and tho revolted vil lagers have been collecting materials for barricades. Excitement Increasing Tho excitement at Narbonno and other places has increased dangerously owing to the announcement of activity of tho government and the agitation of hot-heads. Announcement of the in tention of the government to arrest tho originator of the wine growers' move ment was promptly followed by a gen eral rising of the countryside with tho object of resisting the government forces. In view of the incendiary threats tho general aud staff of tho Sixteenth army corps held a midnight conferenco at Montpelier and plans were mnde to meet eventualities. Tho wine growers committee at Argclliers is still outward ly counseling strike with folded arms, but their followers arc evidently out of hand. Summons are out against the wine growers committee on tho charge of in citing revolt and several mayors will bo prosecuted for attempting to over throw the central government. Detachments of cavalry from East are on the way to replace local troops. Deputies Get Excited The action of the government led to a lively debate in the chamber of dep uties this morning. Premier Clemenceau refused to agree to an immediate dis cussion of the interpellation on the government's plan and demanded that it bo postponed until June 21. He de clared that all means of conciliation had been exhausted and that as chief of the government he was bound to nforco respect for tho law. ino wine growers committee of Aggedellers has set up itself in place of tho central government and three departments have revolted against the law and were threatening to burn and otherwise terrorize mayors and others who refused allegiance to the commit tee." If tho chamber defeated tho post ponement on interpellation he would immediately countermand the prosecu tion and tho chamber -would be held responsible for the grave consequences. It was his desire to avoid threatened bloodshed. FERRY STEAMERS San Francisco Bay Vessels Come Together and Pas- -sengers Have Panic By Associated Press. - - 'SAN FRANCISCO, Cat., June ,18.
