Washington dispatches report that the British American plan to settle the indemnity issue gains support and may be adopted as the sole scheme. The United States reserves against joint guarantees, prompting ministers to favor the proposal. The Chinese government would issue bonds to powers totaling the indemnity with 4 percent interest and a half percent amortization clause. A foreign powers committee would oversee revenues designated to bond liquidation and apply defaults to the committee rather than individual powers.
