STATUS Of CHINESE AFFAIRS
MANCHURIA, NOT TIENTsIN
The Danger Point in the Negotiations
Powers VIII Not Stand for Rus
sia's Grasping Disposition-Wiu
Make a Protest.

New York, March l9-According to adj
vices received from Washington, the diplo-
matists say that Manchuria and not Tient-
sin IS the danger point to the Chinese stu
ton. These gentlemen assert that Great
Britain, Japan and Germany have given
Russia to understand that they will regard
with disfavor the signing of the Man
churia convention.
1T is further stated that if the conven-
ton is signed a vigorous protest will be
made by these powers, and should this
not be effective more effective measures
will be taken. 1t is well understood here
that the conflict between the powers will
precipitate the dismemberment of China
which the president and Secretary HAY
are trying to prevent Great Britain.
Germany and Japan are suspicious of the
st. Petersburg government, notwithstand-
ing its protestations of good faith, and
that government, it is believed will aban-
don the convention with China rather
than engage in war.
1t is stated that the only danger in the
situation at Tentsin lies in the antip-
athy of the British and Russian troops for
each other. The London and st. Peters
burg governments, however, it was saids
will not allow any clash to occur in that
part of China that might involve the two
countries in war
