Satow British Minister; W.W. Rockhill U.S. Minister."A peace treaty containing 12 articles and 19 annexes was finally signed in the Spanish Legation on 7 September 1901." An indemnity of £67,500,000 (about $335,000,000 at the 1900 rate of exchange) was to be paid. An Imperial Edict dated 26 May [1901] announced that the payment would be made in full. (It would take 39 years.) Diana Preston (1999) p.232-3. The protocol "included provisions for Prince Ch'un to proceed to Berlin to convey to the German Emperor the regrets of the Chinese Emperor and Grand Council for the murder of Baron von Ketteler, and for the erection of a monument on the spot where he was killed: the suspension of the official examinations for five years in all cities where foreigners had been massacred or maltreated: Na T'ung, vice-president of the Board of Revenue, was to proceed to Japan to convey the regrets of the Chinese Emperor and government for the murder of Mr Sugiyama: China was to erect an expiatory monument in each of the foreign international settlements that had been 'desecrated': the importation of arms and ammunition were to be prohibited for five years; the legation quarter in Peking was to be reserved for the exclusive residence of foreigners: the Taku and other forts which might impede free communication between Peking and the sea were to be razed: certain specified points were to be occupied by the powers: an edict prohibiting membership of any anti-foreign society for ever upon pain of death was to be issued and there were other provisions including the negotiation of amendments to the existing Treaties of Commerce and Navigation and the establishment of river conservancy boards with foreign participation; the reformation of the Tsungli Yamen and its promotion to be a Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wai Wu Pu) with precedence over the six other ministries of State."
