San Francisco May 23 The presi-
dent and Secretary of Stato Hay have
been In constant communication with
Washington during all their Journey
through the West Dispatches from
foreign embassies have been continu-
ally an King and tho Chinese situa-
tion has lecelved special attention
Tho president has been anxious lest
the difficulties thrown In the way of
an arrange meat by tho demands of
some of tho powers might kad to In
dcflnlta delay and consequent lncioase
of the Indemnity to be exacted The
points to be Bettled are first the total
amount of the Indemnity and the
share of each power second the meth-
od of payment In regard to the flr1
point the president has constantly a
deavored to moderate the demands j
the powers to an amount which ChlA
might pay wlthoirt financial ruin or
territorial Jtdlsmemberment iHqihaSj
Ithought tharif200000000 was the max
lmum amount Indicated by the best
authorities consulted and he has
Pioved the willingness of this govern-
ment to make every sacrifice In the In-
terest of China and the restoration of
normal relations by cutting down our
already moderate claim in half It oth-
er powers would make a proportionate
reduction These propositions have
not been accepted by the other govern-
ments though Great Britain has
shown a disposition to a considerate
treatment of tho matter
As to the method of pa > raent It is
understood that there are various
propositions before the conference of
ministers In Pekln One Is a loan to
bo contracted by China guaranteed
by the powers which It Is thought
might bo floated at 4 per cent with
a commission of 5 or 6 per cent Ani
other Is a loan not guaranteed which
would probably require an enormous
commission at a heavy rate of Inter-
est some 7 per cent Neither of these
propositions wore acceptable to the
president Two weeks ago ho pro-
posed that each of the powersshould
accept for Its share the bonds of China
at par and with Interest at 3 p6r cent
provision for meeting the Interest and
for eventual payment being taken
from the llkin the salt Hkln duties
and Increased mport taxes Mr
Rockhlll has now been Instructed to
urge these views anew upon tho atten-
tion of his colleagues
The attitude of the British govern
ment bet forth In the recent speeches
of Its CpresentativfA In parliament
Indicate that Great Britain though
not willing to go so far as this coun
tiy In moderating tho demandsof the
powers Is IncHned to accept measures
which If adopted may bring the ne-
gotiations to a conclusion
