RUSSIA'S DEMANDS
Minister conssr TELLS What They Are
With Respect to the Control of Man
churia-WiIi Await RooseveIt's Or

ders.
Washington, April 24.-Minister Con-
ger, at Pekin, has cabled Secretary Hay
q synopsis Of the demands made by
Russia respecting control of Man
churia. This account agrees precisely
with the press reports from Pekin. The
secretary will take no action in the
matter until he has communicated the
facts to the president and learned the
latter's wishes. The present impress
sion here is that the Russion action
is distinct breach of faith with the
United States.
The Russian government pledged it
self three times formally and the docu-
ments are Of record that the open
door" should be maintained in Man
churia and Russian troops would be
withdrawn as soon as peace was re-
stored. Finally the latter promise took
the shape of a treaty stipulation. 1t
was provided that evacuation should
take place within three distinct periods.
nhe last Russian soldier should have
quit Manchurta on the Sth OF this
month. according to thns treaty. But a
plausible explanation fer the Temporal
ry retention of the remaining Russian
troops was offered by Russia In the
claim that the country was still dis
turbed and vigorous military methods
were necessary in the interest of sani-
tation. Officials declare there is no
danger of war with Russia over this in
cident. The United States has recorded
it's Ideas of what should be done in
Manchuria and as result of Secretary
Hays protector conference with the
president it is probable that further re-
monstrance will be added. But it is
anticipated that Russia will after time
allay, for the time being, the opposition
or at least that of the United States by
carrying out its pledge as to the open
door" There will be no additional
treaty ports in Manchulia if Russia
succeeds in this last move.
