WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The state DE-
partment has received a report from
Commissioner Rockhill at Pekin saying
that the danger of q conflict between the
foreign troops in Chlna Is overdrawn and
that negotiations are in progress to settle
the indemnity questions, No information
has been received, however, from Russia
in reply to the cabled inquiry from the
state department relating to M%anchuria.
Contrary to current statements, the
United States is not a party to the Anglo
German alliance, and Is basing its oppo-
sition entirely upon the circular notes re-
quiring each government to abstain from
private treaties with China or from &C.

officially and otherwise said that Great
Britain has not the slightest contcmpla-

While hostilities are out of the ques-
