presentation of the French draft of
peace conditions which consisted of
twelve points. but which have not yet
been concluded.
The Russian government then makes
the following statement:
While anticipating the early settle

this end, provisional written conditions

thorities and the Chinese governors of
the three Manchurian provinces
With reference to the institution of

the circumstanc the Russian govern
mont drew up draft OF special agree
ment with China, providing for gradual
evacuation of Manchuria. as we'll az for
the adoption OF provisional measures to
assure peace in that territory and pre-
vent recurrence OF the events similar
to those of last year. Unfortunately,
with the object of stirring up public
opinion against Russia, alarmist rumors
were circulated in the foreign press re-
garding the purpose and intentions of
the Russian government. Falsified
texts OF treaty establishing protec-
torate over Manchuria We're quoted and
erroneous reports designediy spread OF
an alleged agreement between Russia
and China. AS a matter OF fact, this
agreement was to serve as basis for
the restoration to China, as contem-
plated by the Russian government, of
the province of Manchuria, which In
consequence of the alarming events of
last year were occupied by Russian
troops. In order that requisite military
measures might be taken 1t was imper-
alive that the question should be set
tied one way or the other. 1t was inn
possible to lay down forthwith by
means Of mutual agreement conditions
OF evacuation of Manchuria. According
to the news received serious hindrances
were placed in the way OF the conclu-
sion OF such an agreement and In con-

for Foreigners.
Pekin, April 5.-American Consul
johnson at Annoy has notified United
states Charge DAffaires Squires that
the local authorities at Annoy agreed to
permit the island of Ku-Lang- -su, in the
harbor, to become foreign settlement,
which concession has long been desired.
1t was necessary. however, to obtain the
unanimous expression of opinion from
the ministers of the foreign powers, as
otherwise the Chinese government
only objection was on the part OF Japan.
the government of which country had
long desired the island for other pur-
poses; but it finally consented in order
to make the request on China unani-
nous
The ministers think that the conces-
sion is extremely valuable. as the island
can be controlled absolutely as far as
sanitary and other measures are con-
cerned, and will become largely a resi-
dental quarter for foreigners. 1t will
be entirely under International control.
The minister and other foreigners con-
.sider the Qualifications Of the German
legation excessive. and believe II to be
the reason for the Chinese court not re-
turning to Pekin. A deep and wide
moat has been dug on two sides of the
legation premises. Barracks on the new
legation grounds are we'll under way,
including those of the American lega-
ton.

Members of the Russian legation
claim to know nothing on the Man
churian question. The feeling at the
other legations is that Russia is bound
TO do something or lose prestige with
the Chinese. Members OF the British
Legation in particular are satisfied that
lin spite of China's refusal to sign the
Manchurian agreement, she will soon
sign something similar in order to pro-
tect her own interests and to have even

Russia can Wait.
ST. Petersburg, April 5.-As previously
pointed out in these dispatches. Russia
now blames the powers for China 8 re-
ifusal to accept the conditions for the
evacuation of Manchuria, and calmly
says she is in no hurry and can await
events. Unbiased opinion here Is that
Russia has occupied an impregnable
diplomatic position from which nobody
can dislodge her. However warlike
Japan may feel, Russia is confident no
opportunity will be given her to take
the offensive without placing herself in
tho wrong. AS far as can be seen the
Japanese threats have not caused rip
