RUSSIA HAS EXPLAINED
(By the Associated Press.)

Pckin, May 9.-The official at New
Chwang, who sent yesterdays news Of
Russia's alleged action at New ChWang
and elsewhere in Manchuria, telegraphs
today that the occupation of the forts
at the mouth of the Lilac River was tenn
porary, and that the Russians have now
withdrawn.
Official circles at Pekin are myStified.
Their subordinates at New ChWang have
not reported the ~re-occupation of that
place, hence there is a disposition to
question the correctness of the inforina-
ton, although the author of yesterdays
story is generally considered to be one
of the ablest and best informed foreigners
in China.

t;nqton Nav S.-The State Depart
o+ has received official confirmation
.n, It's agents in China OF the increase of
prs.ian garrison in New Chwang,

. president Roosevelt approves, that 1t
,ranarlng to take vigorous steps III the
uatter Secretary Has IS IN communion
., with President Roosevelt IN Caltor-
and upon the ~latter's decision the Sec
,.+,rv', course viii depend.
i j. stated that the department has had
g.. narience taxed by the course OF events
I'M Nanchuria, and that 1t now contem-
,btc, a more radical step than any which
has heretofore marked the negotiations be-
+,eeu the powers on this subject. The pro-
,o,ed step contemplateS JOINT action by
I,nan England and the United States.
Preceding negotiations have been hamper
Cd bv the hostility of the United States
IN act Jointly with other nations without
Violating It's traditions, but it is now hint
I'd that some plan of cooperation with
England and Japan may be devised which
will have the effect Of convincing the Rus
sian government of the united determina-
tion Of the three nations to insist upon
Russia's evacuation of Manchuria, while
not actually committing the United States
to a formal alliance.
This program is subject to the approval
of the President. II it is not looked upon
with favor by him, the State Department
may fall back upon its former method of
individual representation to Russia and
ask another explanation of the happenings
in Manchuria.
In such event the Russian answer is al
ready forecastcd by the officials here. I'm
der the Russian representa- ton to the pow
drawn from New Chwang just one month
ago today. 1t Is understood. as a matter
of fact, that some portion of the Russian
forces was withdrawn from the barracks III
the city to tents outside. 1t Is presumed
from PekIn advices hat these troops have
how returned to the city.
Accompanying the news of the re-occupa.
ton OF New Chwang comes a warning
from our agents in China that the Rus
SIAN attitude is injuring the chances of the
treaty which Mr.. Conger and Consul Gen
eraI Goodnow have been negotiating with
China, involving the opening to American
trade OF the ports OF Taku Shan anC
Moukden IN Manchuria. The latest ad
vices are that the treaty is already prac
ucalIy lost. owing to Russian opposition
This fact Is construed to give the United
States government a direct interest in what
Is happening in Manchuria.

Foreigners Declared Safe.
(By the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, May 9.-The Pekin cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
written under date of April 9Th, says that
the alarming stories coming from GER
tain quarters to the effect. that a mas
sacre of foreigners by Chinese is con
templated, is untrue.
The correspondent writes that the re-
verse of this picture exists in Pekin.
Never since the legation was established
here nave foreigners gone about the capt.
tai and the surrounding country SO free
from molestation and insult.
The liberation is inspired by the
knowledge of the foreigners power to
hold his ground.
Whatever attacks upon foreigners might
make, all evidence tends to show that
they would be against the will of the
court.

the lad with the glasses had the bad
man cinched they rushed aft and threw
themselves on Bradshaw, and in jiffy
they had him triced up, with his arms
firmly bound. and the loose ends of the
rope neatly tied in many knots to the
seat. Then the tenderfoot turned the
next seat over, deposited himself there
comfortably. right in front Of the livid
ruffian, gave a preliminary 'ahem!
and then began making an address to
Bradshaw. who was choking with
wrath as we'll as with the rope. You'd
never have thought a tenderfoot could
possess such vocabulary as that
young man with the eyeglasses let out
on the bad man.
He just went ahead, easy like, and
called Bradshaw all the things that
mean sudden death and burial down in
the country through which the train
was passing, and all hands in the car
cheered him to the echo and encour-
aged him to keep on. He took Il glass
of water to relieve his hoarseness, and
then he began all over again on Brad

was still cussing Bradshaw out and

the tenderfoot lifted the ice cooler up
in his arms. removed the cover. and de-
liberately poured the contents, ice and

keep the bad man from feeling excited
when somebody turned him loose, the
tenderfoot said. All hands in the
smoker. including the youth with the
glasses, was wise enough to leave the
car at Santa Fee.
Three brakemen and the conductor
turned Bradshaw loose after carefully
concealing his guns, and the instant he
was released he began to make war
medicine. swearing vengeance upon
every man in the car when he was
| tied up. But the word was out that
Jack was minus his guns, and he was
corralled and placed in the Santa Fe
calaboose by the police.
