According to Usual Method cf Computation, China Owes Un ited State $250,033,030. By telegraph to The Times. WASHINGTON, Dee. 27. - As scon as the Chinese government signifies its willingness to comply with the demands of the powers, as set forth in the joint note handed to Prince Ching Monday, the first cpicstion for consid eration vtil! lie the idemnity to be paid by China That country will have to bear the cost til' the: military .'expedi tions' which rescued tile foreign min isters) at Pekin and which are now holding Pe-Chi-l.i province, its well as to give a cash indemnity for property destroyed and for the lives of the for eigners killed by the Hcxers That the bill will be large is taken for granted, but what the amount, may be has not yet, despite publications to the con trary, received even preliminary con sideration. The idea that has been .advanced in sonic (piartcrs that the, powers will forgo any claim for cash indemnity, assuming- thetiiselvdk the claims of their citizens for damages, on the ground that the establishment anil maintenance of good government in China for the future will be a suf ficient recompense fur past injuries, receives little encouragement from of ficials of the State Department. It is held by lliese officials- that. these claims for damages are most just and must, be. collected from China, if for no other purpose than to establish 1h principle that the lives ind pi 'opei -H ot loreignerrt must be respected in that country. The only effort of t In state Department is to keep the claims of America ns within reasonable limits, ami to induce other powers to also bo moderate, so the tol::l bill lie paid by China may not too severely tax her resources. There is no desire on the part of this, government to punish China so that for years she will, be struggling , under a load of debt, by menus of- which .advantages denied to i:u!i idual H;veis as a result tvf wop.-niny lie secured - to-.- tlierti through'.' financial menus. No claims have vet been lih'd bv Ameriuau 'iti- ens. As a basis for computation, the .damages paid by t his count ry for for eigners kilted lin y be taken.
