Step by United states
Washington, March 26.-The state de-
partment to-day made public a note sent
TO the Chinese minister Feb. 49, warning
the Chinese government against entering
into any private territorial or financial
arrangement without the full knowledge
of all the Powers. The note is as fol-
lows:
THE preservation of the territorial in
tegrity of China having been recognized
by all the Powers now engaged in joint
negotiation concerning the injuries re-
Gently inf1icted upon their ministers, and
nationals by certain officials, and subjects
of the Chinese Empire, it is evidently
advantageous TO China to continue the
present internatio understanding upon
this subject. 1t would be, therefore, un-
wise and dangerous in the extreme Tor
China to make any arrangement, or TO
consider any proposition of private ma
ture involving the surrender of territory
or financial obligations by convention with
any particular power, and the United states
government, aiming solely at the preser-
walton of China from the danger indi-
Gated and the conservation of the larg-
est and most beneficial relations between
the empire and other countries, in accord
ance with the principles set forth in its
circular note of July 8, 1900, and in pure
ly friendly spirit toward the Chinese En-
pire and all the Powers now interested
in the negotiations desires to express its
sense of the impropriety inexpediency
and even extreme danger to the interests
of China of considering any private ter
ritorial or financial arrangements, at
least without the full knowledge and ap-
proyal of all the Powers now engaged in
negotiation. (Signed) Hay

to the representatives of the United
States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London,
Rome, Toxic and st. Petersburg for in

Assuming that the arrangement is to be
carried Outfit is the contention OF the state
department that nothing has occurred to

she takes control of Manchuria, either di-
rectly by annexation or indirectly, but

noaad in this Russo-Chinese agreement.
This is the view of the state Department
