THE INDEMNITY QUESTION.
It la Thnnaht Claims Aanlnst China
Will Re at Least f .VI.imhi.ooo.
LONDON. April 17.-The Peking for
respondent of The Daily Mail says h
thinks the aggregate of the indemnitiei
demanded by the powers will not lie re
duced below CfiO.IXhl.OOO nnd ndds thai
"it cannot be too strongly pointed out how
serious n dancer would result from tut J
excessive rt reduction of claims. If thf
powers fall to recoup their actual outlay,"
he says, "they are likely to seek conipen
nut ion by separate secret arrangement,
with Peking, which would infallibly lead
to grave complications."
A dispatch to the Keiiter Telcgran
company from Peking, dated April HI
says tlmt (ieueral von Gyle, in commano
of fi.OOO Germans and :,ln) Front t
troops, is heading an expedition to nttncl
Liu Kuan Ting, who Is within 120 miles
of Pao-ting-fu. Lin's position is iimidf
the territory defined by Field Marshal
von Waldcrsoe as the sphere of opirn
tions for the allies. Lin has in,MXi men
and has refused to retire, saying if th
allies wished him to retire they hud bet
tor come out and compel him to do so.

aggregate of the claims is lower than tin
first report, being under $4 is 1,0' HUMID,
but the authorities regard this as ex
orbitant ami will endeavor to cut it in
half. Mr. Kockhill's information shows
that the claims of the powers to date
are about as follows: Russia, ?!".ioi,mh1;
Germany, $70.HKl,(s),,i; France. $40,(HH),
