WASHINGTON. April 5.-rhe extent
OF the assurance given by Russia can
be best judged by the impression made
in the highest official quarters here that
the threatened crisis over Manchufia
has been completely ayerted The Rus
sian communication is the more signi-
fcant. coming at a moment when press
advIces from Europe assert that Rus
Ella was collecting an army OF 100000
men for the purpose Of holding Man
churla without reference TO the desires
Of other powers. There is no doubt
that Russia has a large military force
In Manchuria so that had she determ-
insd to hold the province she has the
military establishment already on the
ground prepared to maintain her oc-
cuplncy.
To the officials in Washington
one Of the most gratifying features Of
Russla's action Is that II is responsive
to Secretary Hays note Of March LIST
last. This note had been previously
communicated to the Chinese minister
at Washington and advised him that
the United States viewed as inexpe-
dent and dangerous to the interests OF
China the conclusion Of any private
territorial or financial agreement.
