sia has served notice on China that
she will not evacuate Manchuria until
her latest demands are granted. Ex-
actly what these demands are no Off

pared to say, but the belief is strong
that they are practically the same as
those reported from Pekin last spring

son to believe that Russia was in
sisting on the very demands which
Count Lamsdorff assured Ambassador
Mccormick had never been presented,
and which Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, told Secretary Hay were
merely presented as basis Of negotia-
tions.
It was stated by the same authority
that this government will not feel
called upon to enter protest against
Russia's action so long as our COM
mercial treaty is observed and the two
ports in Manchuria promised by Rus
sia remain open to the worlds com
