Five Hundred Million Indemnity Talks From China
Washington reports outline claims of powers for damages from China totaling about 500 million dollars with U S demands at 25 million and a possible cut to 0.5 million. Commissioner Rockhill cites Germany as the largest claimant and notes inflated totals from smaller nations while the United States urges moderation and possible payment only for direct damages and losses to foreign property. The Tang rebellion is viewed as a minor factor, with Tang assembling forces to resist arrest rather than mounting a serious challenge.
