Washington, D. C.--The news in th
the specials form Pekin convey to the
official mind here the belief that
what is known as the British-Ameri- to
can plan of settling the indemnity th
question is making headway,and tha
it will in the end be adopt'd as the
only feasible scheme. The firm atti
tude of the United States in declin.
ing to enter into a joint guarantee of
the enormous bond issue is believed
to have had its effect in including the
ministers to accept the British-Amer
loan proposal. It is certain that any re
movement toward the settlement of m
the indemnity question must result in re
unanimity to be effective. Although be
often mentioned, the details of the b
British plan have not heretofore been th
given, and they were learned Satur- Pf
day from an authoritative source to ti]
be'as follows: B'
The Chinese government is to issue in
bonds to each of the powers to the b
amount of the indemnity due each.
These bonds are to bear 4 per cent in- O(
terest with a clause providing half
per cent for a.mortization. Certain of m
the Chinese revenues,not specifloially tl
designated in the proposition are to
be earmarked for the liquidation of
the bonds. A committte appointed by sl
the foreign powers is to take charge u
of questions relating to the revenue t
thus earmarked, and the committee is a
to arrange details by which the revs- ti
anues are to be applied on tbs bonds.
In ease of default on the bonds, the
default is to be to the committee and
not to the several powers. The fore- C
going is in substance the entire pro
position, but later it was proposed in
addition that the period of the bonds
be thirty years, and that they be is- o
sued in instalhments. In this form F
the proposition stood up to within a a
few days ago, but it is not known in Is
what particular it may have bden a
modified by the ministers. t
THE BATTLESHIP ILLINOIS. r
Of even greater speed than first sup
I posed, the battleship Illinois is justly t
entitled to wear the naval broom at
her masthead. Her official speed, as
determined by the board of inspeo
Stion and survey, after considering the
tidal corrections reported is 17.45
knots per hour. Rear Admiral R. D.
Evans, president of the board, offi
I oially communicated this information
B to Secretary Long. This record is .14
knots better than that estimated im
mediately after her trial and without
taking tidal condition into considera
tion.
Secretary Long is highly gratified
at the high speed made by the Illi
nois. The secretary believes in a bat
tleship having as mucoh speed as pos
sible, taking into consideration her
armor and armament and coal carry
Sing capacity. The province of a bat
tleship is to fight, not to run, the see
- retary holds, and he has consistently
advocated a policy of as heavy arma
ment and as much protection as can
be obtained upon a given displace
ment. The six latest battleships con
tracted for under Mr. Long's admin.
lstration are designed to produce
eighteen knots speed,but by reason of
machinery improvements no diminn
. tion of battery power or protection
has occurred. As a matter of fact all
these vessels carry more powerful
batteries than the Illinois class.
Comparison tof the Illinois with for
seign battleshipe shows that taking
into consideration armor and arma.
ment, she is superior to any of her
tonnage in foreign navieas. Her speed
is less than British battleships, of a
thousand tons greater displacement,
Sbut their speeds are often determined
by the patent log and are therefore
, ficotitions.
CENSUS OF MANILA.
Manila papers received at the war
deportment contain articles of more
or less importance concerning that
city and the Philippines. The Manila
Times give the result of a census
t taken by Lieutenant H. L. Gilchrist
for the board of health completed
about the first of May. This censue
gives the population of Manila at
d 944,982, divided as follows:
SFilipinos, 181,861i Chinese, 51,567;
L, Americans, 8 562; Spaniards, 2,885;
other nationalities, 960. These fgur's
do not include men belonging to the wh
United States. There are 18,683 A
buildings in the city, of which 8,789 thr
are good, 1,135 bad and 1,472 small we
and 12,117 classed as shacks. aig
A sensational story is published mil
that a Chinese contractor has been C
feeding his employees on glandered No
horses which is said to account for nil
the spread of considerable sickness in 3e
the vicinity of Manila.
The board of health is endeavoring Ra
to obtain information which will en- Gr
able it to take measures to prevent 'P1
the spread of cattle diseases in the In
island, as such diseases have proved of
very detrimental to the natives of the
islands. on'
REPORT ON CANAL.
Admiral Walker's report on the
isthmian canal will soon be ready for Oa
transmission to the president. The
report is more favorable to the Pana
ma project than was the preliminary
report of the commission. The mem
bers of the commission now increase lt
by about $4,000,000 their estimate of of
the present value of the Panama pro
perty. In round figures, they think
the Panama plant worth $40,000,000.
But they point out that this does not TI
include the $240,000,000 of stock held lit
by the French people.
In other words,if the United States B
could buy the Panama plant for $40,- a
000,000, in the opinion of the com- Bi
mission, it would be a bargain. But of
this is known to be impossible.
It is asderted by friends of the gi
Nicaragua route that a powerful con
spiracy has been formed to "hold
up" the canal enterprise, partly in of
the interest of the Panama people *a
and partly at the instigation of the a
transcontinental railway interests.
Indeed, it is charged that these two
interests have virtually conmbined,and Hl
that they have among their support
ers some of the most prominent men p,
in the republican party. re
OKLAHOMA INDIAN LANDS. a
Lone Wolf and twelve or fifteen t
other Indians, representing the n
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes
appeared before the secretary of the '
interior and made verbal protest r'
against the opening of any part of
their lands in Oklahoma to settle
ment under the act of the latest ses
sion of congress. They were intro- b
duced by Judge Springer. Several of P
them declared that the agreement for Y
the cession of their lands had not
been secured by legitimate methods.
Judge Springer presented the com
plaint of the Indians in detail. Sec
retary Hitchcock told the Indians
that he had only received them as a
matter of courtesy, and that under no
circumstances could he consider their
presentation while their ease was
pending in the courts.
SENTENCE IMPOSED ON IMPEY.
The loss of ten numbers in his
grade and reduction of his pay to
furlough pay for two years and to be
pubilcly reprimanded is the sentence
imposed by courtmartial upon Cap
tain Robert E. Impey at present sta
tiond at Mare Island navy yard. The
captain was charged with scandalous
conduct in having represented to a
Sdentist that his bill mast be reduced
because it required the approval of
I the treasury offoers,whereas this was
a purely personal matter. Seoretary
Long has remitted the part of the
sentence recommending that Captain
SImpey should be placed on furlough
Sfor two years, "not because of any
- clemency which Captain Impey is re.
1 garded as meriting, but for the rea
leon that the department does not want
I him to remain in idleness for two
years when the services of all officers
are required on active duty."
gLITTLE DIFFIOULTY EXPECTED
It is learned that when the Ouban
commission was in Washington dele
gates informed Seo'y Root that they
did not think it would be possible to
have the Cuban government organ
ized before February, owing to the
e fact that certain procedures must be
had under their new constitution.
The opinion is expressed at the war
r department that there will be little
e or no difficullty in effecting a change
it from American to Cuban oivil con
a trol. The civil service which General
'o Wood has oragnized is largely oom
st posed of Cubans, and it is believed
d that the new government will utilize
,s this machoinery.
,t Seoretary Root has issued an order
which goes into etfeot on May 1 next
t; adding English literature, algebra
5; and plane trigonometry to the present
4s course at West Point.
