Method nf Payment.
As to the method of payment It Is under-
tood that there nro various propositions
before tho conforonce of ministers In Pekln.
that tho signatures to It wtro "procurod
by fraud, misrepresentation nnd falsehood
nnd that three-fourths of the adult rual
members of the tribes have never signed
It."
Tho Indlnns nsked for the withholding
of tho presidential proclamation opening
tho lands until congress ngatn has time to
tlon can bo deferred until February
next. Mr. Ryan told former Representa
tlvo Springer of Illinois, representing the
Indians, to advise them to go home nnd
announce that the department could tak
no notion In the matter. The department
claims that the dolegates bear no authority
from their tribes.
One Is n loan to be contracted by Chlnu nonsldcr i contending that the proclama
cuarantecd by the powers, which It is
thought- might be- Hooted at 4 per cent
with n commission of 5 or 6 per cent. An
other Is n loan, not guarnntijcd, which
would probably require nn enormous com
mission and n heavy rate of Interest, some
7 per cent.
Neither of these propositions was nc
ccptablo to tho president. Two weeks ago
lio showed that each of tho powers should
accept for its sharo of tho Indemnity tbo
bonds of China nt par and with Interest

SOUTHAMPTON, May 22. Tho most dra
matic Incident In thu history of the Amer
ica's cup occurred today, when a sudden
quail on thu Solent completely wrecked
tho new challenger and endangered thu
llfo of Klnft Edward and several distin
guished persons, Including Sir Thumas
Llpton. The results of this disaster, which
could scaTce!;' recur without great loss of
life, can best bo judged by tho written
statomcnt made late tonight by Sir Tfionms
Llpton tc n representative ot the Asso
ciated Press as folllows:
"My deepest regret is that today's au
cldent prevents me from toeing tho mark
nt the appointed hour, and compels mo to
nsk the New York Yacht club to grant
mo an extension of time. If they will be
good enough to do that, I shall race, even
f I havo to build n bont between now nnd
the dnto ngrced upon. I still believe tho
Shamrock II a boat worthy to be the chal
lenger and that when this unfortunate
chapter of accidents comes to nn end, lt
will still stand a good chanco of lifting
tho cup. I havo not n single complaint to
make against my boat.
AliprecliitOH American Sympathy
"For tho many telegrams of sympathy
received from America today I am ex
trcmcly grateful. No onoMs more thankful
than I am that the catastrophe ended with
out fatality and 1 may perhaps say that
throughout tho trying moments his majesty
wns as brave as a Hon. His first thought
was to Inquire If anyone wns injured.
"THOMAS UPTON."
Clrcumstnnces have reduced tho Sham
rock II to n pitiful, sparless wreck. It
now lies off Hythe. The story of tho ca
tastrophe Is best told by Sir Thomas Llp
ton himself. After seeing his royal guest
off to London, Sir Thomas gave tho fol
lowing Interview to a representative of tho
Associated Press:
"Wo had Just begun to mako for the
btnrtlng lino when a fierce breozo sprang
up. King Edwnrd, Lndy Londonderry, Mrs.
Jameson, Mr. Watson nnd myself were
on deck, hanging on as best wo might, for
tho challenger was almost nt an angle of
45 degrees. Tho king started to go be
low. Just ns he did so everything col
lapsed. A heavy block fell between the
two women nnd a wire rope struck mo ory
the head nnd momentarily stunned me. A
sudden squnll, an unexpected strain, and
everyhlng bad given oway. King Edwnrd
was half In nnd half out of the companion
hatchway. What happened, how nil the
falling spars and sweoptng sails did not
kill or sweep aomcono overboard, Is moro
than I know. When I camo to I saw tho
king clambering over tho wreckage, trying
to discover tho extent of the damage and
asking: 'Is anyone hurt 7' "
.No Time for Weeiluf.
The reporter of the Associated Press
further learned that Sir ThomaB' first utter
ance on coming to was this ardent re
mark to Mr. Watson: "Telegraph for
more spars. We have got to sail on Au
gust 12. nnd this boat has got to do It."
When the distinguished participators In
the mishap had been safely transferred to
tho Erin the king's first remark wns:
"When shnll we sail again, Llpton?" nnd
before his majesty started for London his
last words to Sir Thomas were: "When
you next sail I am going with you."
In fact, tho ruler of tho British emplro
seemed keenly to enjoy tho unusual spice
of danger.
Mr. Wntson nnd Mr. Jameson, especially
the former, are very downcast and abso
lutely refuso to say anything. Mr. Watson,
Indeed. Is so chagrined that ho could
scarcely talk to even his most Intimate
friends and until after dinner o board
the Erin, Sir Thomas believed It would bo
Impossible to contest for the cup this year.
But thanks to his indomitabln persistence,
backed up by King Edward's optimistic
and enthusiastic support, It was decided
to go ahead, provided the Now lork Yacht
club would grant nn extension.
Have Kallli Still.
Tho question whether tho New York
Yacht club should bo nsked to permit tho
substitution of Shamrock I for Shamrock
II was quickly relegated becauso Sir
Thomas and Mr. Jameson, In splto of
everything that has happened, maintained
that thu new boat was well worth the
trouble It had caused.
It may bo stated with no little authority
that tho challenger's truo merits havo not
been displayed with too much vigor, and
that there is more In It, according to the
views of thoso most Interested, than meets
tho eye.
Sir Thomas calculates that a delay of
thrco weeks or n month In thp dnto of
tho contest In American waters will cnablo
him tn come to the scratch. He says ho
Is greatly handicapped by the fact that he
tins no dupllcato masts for Shamrock II,
but by an unlimited expenditure ot money
and energy ho believes the defects can be
remedied In tlmo to provide for an inter
national rnco this year,
"I was," ho said,. "terribly cast down
when 1 saw what n wreck that beautiful
boat wns, but now I think things can bo
remedied. I have cabled Mr. Ledyard per
sonally today and tomorrow I expect to
cable tho Now York Yacht club officially,
by then I shall know more than I do now,"
Many peopln say tho king was foolish
to go aboard tho challenger, but Sir
Thomaa says: "If I did not think every
thing w'ns perfectly safe you may bo sure
I would never havo Invited his majesty."
AnkN More Time.
NEW YORK, May 22. Sir Thomas J.
Llpton cnbled tho New York Yncht club
tonight that ho wbb afraid that ho would
havo to nek for a few weeks' grace, owing
to tho accident to Shamrock II today. J.
V. S. Oddle, secretary of tho club, who
made the cablegram of Sir Thomas Llpton
public, said that as a member of tho club
he deeply regrotted the nccldent to Sham
rock II and was sorry for Sir Thomas Lip
ton, who was n true sportsman nnd a
gentleman. Mr. Oddle was nsked what ac
tion tho club would take on Sir Thomas
Linton's cablegram. He said all ho could
do was to point to the club's cnblegrnm to
Sir Thomas. Whon nsked If further time
would be granted to Sir Thomas, ho snld
all that was Just, right and sportsman
llko would be granted. It will all de
peud on the tenor of tho cablegram that
was expected tomorrow from Sir Thomas
While Mr. Oddlo would not say what the
club committee would do, he said that all
time In reason that Sir Thomas required
would be granted.
Following Is tho telegram received to
night from Sit Thomas Llpton:
SOUTHAMPTON, Mny 22.-Commodoro

refused by the city nuthorlttes. Governor
Snvago went from the city hall to the Lln

a short dlstnnco by n friend. Near Fif

and tho govcrnor kept on his way alone
After walking about 200 yards alone he
detected suspicious sounds In tho rear nnd
theso sounds Inter wero distinguished ns

Governor Sovngo waited until hu thought

Tho feature ot tho program was tho

Is mounted on a manzanllln staff, nt tho

a patriotic demonstration, which will bo
long remembered by all who witnessed lt.
This closed the exercises for the afternoon
nnd tho president returned to the Scott
residence
without further Interruption
Speaking of the episode to n friend the
governor is reported to hnvo said that hn
thought ho narrowly escaped a sand
bagging, ns ho noticed whnt appeared to
be a sandbng under the man's arm. The
nffalr was not reported to tho police
Whether tho man's object was to rob or
Injure, or both, Is a matter of conjecture
only. Tho governor was wearing a vnluable
diamond Btono nnd it Is posslblo that It
was this Jewel tho man was after.
Governor Savogo will not return from

he could not bo questioned concerning the
