GINA THREATENED
Russia Protests Against Her Course
Of Delay.
HAY END FRIENDLY INTERCOURSE
Manchuria Agreement Has Not
Yet Been Signed.
ARE DIVIDED

Information has reached here to the effect
that the Russian government, being Sc
riously perturbed by the course of China in
not signing the Manchurian agreement
largely because of the protest made by sew
eral of the powers has conveyed a distinct and
1istakable Indication to China that if
lat course is persisted in there may be
an interruption Of Diplomatic relations be-
tween Russia and China and a termination
of the present intercourse between them
The severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two powers is of such summary
character that it presents serious aIterna-
tive to China being little short of an illti-
rnatun that China must sign or take the
consequence Of q termination Of her friend
" relations with Russia.
Cbina's Policy.
To what extent the United StaLcs will
take c0gnizance of Russia's disposition to
enforce the signing OF the agreement has
not Vet been made apparent 1t appears 10
he The policy Of the Chinese authorities to
consider this IS a subject which concerns
the powers quite as much IS it does China.
At the Same time the matter has become
further complicated by reports reaching
Washington that the Chinese authorities
themselves are divided on the course 70 be
pursued. some of the most influential, in
guiescence be given to The Russian pro-
posals, Will" others insist on rejecting the
agreement
The attitude OF Ii Hung Chang is ac-
counted for ny his well-EuuWn friendIiness
for Russian interests. In this case how
ever. there appears to be aTrayed against
him the strong influence of the southern
viceroys, Chan Chi TUng and Liza Kun Vi,
who oppose the signing OF the treaty.
Agreement Net Signed
The reports reaching here this morning
showed that the agreement had not yet
been signed. Its status is most peculiar
The term within which it was to be signed
ended last Tuesday. but on that day Yang
w. the Chinese minister at St Petersburg
fell down IN the legation and hurt his head
so that he was unable to do business This
misfortune has caused much amusement
here and some irritation in certain quar-
ters as il has been recognized as a most
timely means of avoiding a direct issue on
the subject. While the matter is thus pend

General Trias. the commander OF
the insurgent forces In Luzon, who
recently surrendered to the American

the latter why he surrendered. Trias
said that q continuance of armed op-

unjustifiable aud ruinous. that the in
dependence of the Philippines was
impossible and that the Filipinos
would better accept liberty, prosper
lty and progress under American rule.
The capture Of Aguinaldo. following
