Washington, April 9.-The Chinese
minister was an early caller at the
state department Monday to seek in
iu. nation as to the report, based on
advices to the state department, that
there had been an interruption of the
diplomatic intercourse between Rus
STA and China Mr. WI had not been
advised of any such developments, and
the information before the state de-
partmcnt was so contradictory that it
did not permit any clear explanation
of the real state of affairs.
The doubt arises from the fact that
Mr. Rockhill's latest dispatch does not
mention any such disarrangement,
and the officials feel bound TO accept
this as pretty strong evidence that
prior intimations Of discord have not
taken actual form Yet the dispatch
received from Mr. Squires. the Amer
lean charge daffaires in the absence of
Minister Conger, appears to have been
quite explicit that the difficulty al
ready had made itself manifest. 1t is
thought possible at the state depart
ment that the circumstances to which
Mr.. Squires refers occurred prior to
the receipt in Picking of the last Rus
sian note, and that the trouble may
have been adjusted subsequently.
