A Washington dispatch reports heavy talk among newspapers over wartime indemnity for outrages against foreigners in China. U S officials say indemnity seems unlikely as Li Hongzhang notes China’s treasury is depleted and may resist territory concessions. The piece cites precedents, quotes Evarts and Webster, and warns that American diplomacy faces a clash between claims of justice and nonpayment of indemnities.
