st. Petersburg, May "a semi-of-
fetal statement has been issued here
dealing at length with the situation
Of affairs in the far East. 1t declares
that the maintenance Of the status
quo on the Chinese mainland is a po-
litical necessity, whatever the issue
of the present struggle. A realization
of the japanese claims would entirely
abolish the fictitious Independence OF
the Coreans, and place in Japan's
hands the key to China's capital.
Moreover, Russia and France would
be compelled in their own interests
to ward off their frontiers any cause
for permanent uneasiness or serious
crisis. The statement says Germany
has development Of her commerce in
these regions too much at heart to-
see without misgivings all commercial
houses exposed to continual disturb
ance. These three powers, which
have communicated their views to
Toxic and know how to enforce re-
spect for them, do not intend to de-
prive Japan of the fruits of her VIC
tory. but her civilizing progress will
sooner or later be menaced with de-
struction unless it is based on the
principles upon which rest tile con-
cord of civilized nations.

FINE POINT, THIS.
Nicaragua Annexes the Mosquito
Territory.

Territory.
Washington, May 5.-The Nicaragua
an government has recently done
away with the Mosquito reservation,
which has been the cause OF the re-
cent trouble and has Incorporated it
as a state of Nicaragua, with the
name of Department Of Zelaya, named
after the president Of the republic.
This action has been officially COM
municated to the state department.
The significance OF the movement has
attracted little public attention, but
it is stated by officials that it involves
greater considerations than the armed
occupation Of Corinto. Now that the
latter crisis is passed, officials are
turning their attention to what Great
Britain will do toward Nicaragua's
course in creating the new state, and
thus Indirectly terminating all British
authority or influence in the old
Mosquito country.
