Russia to Evacuate Manchuria.
No Claim to Sovereignty.

The statement that the United States is
about to dispatch a warship to Wake Island
for the purpose Of ejecting the Japanese is
incorrect. Some time ago an American ship,
which touched at Wake Island, reported
that number of Japanese were living on
the island, and this led to more or less con-
fused reports concerning an alleged claim
supposed to have been set up by Japan to
sovereignty over the island.
Several conferences between State De-
partment officials here and Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, followed, and were
ended by definite admission on the part
Of the japanese minister that his govern
ment made no claim to sovereignty over
the island.
Later the Navy Department ordered the
commander Of the training ship Adams,
which will leave about September / for her
regular cruise of the Pacific, to touch at
Wake Island and report upon conditions
there.
There is not even a suggestion in these
orders looking to the ejectment of such
Japanese as may be found on the island.
The American sovereignty over the island is
not questioned by Japan.
