OfDipfomacy on the Part of the Unit.
cd States-Our Answer to Italy.
WASHINGTON. March 14.-The am
basadors and ministers In Washington,
representing those powers having large
interests in China. have communicated
to their foreign offices the substance Of
the recent answer of the United States
to Italy, to the effect that this country
would mainain an attitude OF disinter-
ested neutrality in reference to the Ital-
ian designs on San Mum Bay. Some Of
these diplomats have advised their gov
ernments that they regarded the an
nouncement of the United States atti-
tude as Of supreme Importance to the
Chinese situation. The reasons for this
are summed up by prominent member
OF the diplomatic corps. representing
one Of the powers Of Europe, as fol-
lows:
THE. answer of the United States to
Italy Is remarkably brilliant stroke Of
diplomacy. The natural inclination of
the United States government would
,
for the opening of San Nun bay would
give another port to the growing Amer
lean trade in China. But as this would
have excited the animoslty of China,
your government decides upon q course
of disinterested neutrality.
This gives no effense to China, and
Mt the same time Italy and the world
Mt large take notice that the United
States will interpose no obstacles in the
acquisition OF San Nun bay or other
Chinese ports.
1T Is most important to all the pow
crs to know that the United States has
no purpose to interfere in behalf OF
China, even to the extent of exertng
her oral influence toward continuing
China's integrity. For that reason l
look upon the American answer to Italy
as the most important development In
the Chinese situation that has ariscr
In recent days, and think 1t Will be so
accepted in all the foreign Offices

A Filipino Trick.

CLEVELAND. O., March 14.--Andrew
L. Locher. OF Company NJ, Fourteenth
United States infantry. now at Manila,
writes n most interesting letter to his
parents In this city, concerning the at
tempt or the rebels to capture the city
on January II.
Among other things the writer says:
THE insurgents tried to take the city
by making an attack In the front and
have the citizens make an attack in
the rear. so In order to do this It was
necessary for them to get arms into the
city. We noticed they were having n
large humber OF funerals from church
In Paco. One day there were seventy
three collins taken In. When some OF
the boys were detailed to inspect, they
found that these cofiins contained guns,
and In this way We captured 1900 Of
their weapons"
