CHINESE DIFFICULTY.
The Indemnity.
(per press association.—copyright.)
London, July 30,
The Chinese indemnity is payable from the balance of the maritime customs, native customs, and salt gabelle, also raising the import tariff to 5 per cent dependant on the conversion of the ad valorem into specific duties and the improvement of the course of the Peiho and Shanghai rivers.
Ministers notified the Chinese envoys that the Powers agreed to the indemnity of 450,000,000 taels. The Chinese fear that the welcome accorded at St Petersburg to the Thibetan Mission is designed to strengthen Russian diplomatic action when the Manchurian question is reopened.
