previously passed between Great Britain
and the other European powers regarding
the policy OF Japsn's action. while Lord
Salisbury notified Ambassador Pauncefote
on June q as follows:
You should suggest to Secretary OF
State Hay that any troops which II Is
possible to send from Manila would be m
great value, as 1t is probable tnat the
United States legation Is in great danger,
as well rs the legations OF he other
powers"
Germany assumed the position, regar1-
ing the Japanese matter, that nothing
must be done to peril the accord Of the
powers. Japan insisted upon an sssur-
ance that her invasion would not lead to
a collision with Russia Russia finally
declared. on June 2s. that she had no de-
sire to hinder Japan's liberty. especially
after her expressed intention to conform
her action with that of the other powers
The correspondence shows that Count
MuraviefY. the late Russian minister OF
foreign affairs. took an optimistic Wow
of the situation In China, but that Count
Lamsdorff. his successor. was far from
sharing in this sanguine view. He thought
that Northern China was In a state of
hopeless anarchy. as did Mr.. Deicasse.

who. on June 5. considered the imminent
danger over. but who afterward. On July
4. proposed collective note warning tho
de facto government ut Picking. hoping
that this would demonstrate the solidarity
OF the accord Of the powers. M. Delcasse
insisted that tho relief OF the legations at
Picking was far more important than any
petty grievances among the powers.
