TROOPS CAN BE WITHDRAWN Sliiiillleiim r Iteiily of Cliluekv Pence liiinH tit Hie Putt ern. IlEItLIN, May 15. Ofllclals here, discuss ing the answer of the Chinese peace com missioners, say the fact of prime signifi cance therein Is that tho commissioners agree to the Indemnities as demanded, ami tho withdrawal of tho troops can now proceed forthwith, but that not all the for eign forces will be withdrawn at once. The Chinese proposition to raise the Im port and export duties will probably bo accepted, since the only other possibility of Increasing Chinese revenues is the re form of the liken duties, which tho powers particularly wl3h to avoid, because it would require too much mixing In tho International affairs of China. Further, International control over th'i customs will b unneces sary, beyond Sir Robert Hart's. The prolongation of the payments to thirty years will probably be accepted. Germany appears favorably disposed thereto. Tho request for a reduction of th Indemnities will still be discussed by the ministers at Pekln, who must flrst get tho Instructions' of their governments. It is anticipated here that other nations will in alo stronger objections to a reduction than Germany,-which appeart.. to b willing to reduce the amount It it is seen China Is unable to pay all.
