Indemnity Fight in Peking Aims to Cut China Claims
The United States seeks to limit total indemnity to within £40,000,000 and may absorb a large share by presenting an itemized claim of $25,000,000 for US military transport, maintenance in China, and missionary losses. Rockhill negotiates with other powers to match a 50 percent cut, averting delay that could fuel rebellion led by Tung Fu Sian in Shen Si.
