RELIEF IN WASHINGTON.
Retirement of Russian Troops Con-
1rmed by Dir. Conger
By The Associated Pr.xsA

Washington. May e.-The State Department.
has received from Minister Conger Confirmation
OF The Associated Press dispatch from PektnrI
that the Russians re-entered New-Chwang and
then retired The receipt Of this news late in ]
the day brought relief TO a strained situation.
and it was decided by the department that there
was no longer occasion for action, even dipIo-
maticaIly. at this stage. Count Cassini. in tho
course OF his talk with Secretary Hay today
earnestly impressed on the Secretary his con-
viction that the Russian Government had lived
up to it's agreements. and in view Of these rep
resentations Secretary Hay did not hesitate TO
dissipate the impression which might have ex-
listed that there remained any need for diplo-
matte action relative to Manchuria by the
United States. Great Britain and Japan The
situation. consequently. lapses back 70 where
it was after the original Russian disclaimer
which followed the demands on China two weeks
ago. and for the present the attitude OF the
United States Government will be simply ons
of Observance Count Cassinf said to-day:
When the whole truth is known it viii be
found that Russia has not violated a single
pledge made 10 any nation. nor does she intend
to do so. Moreover, whatever steps have been
taken In Manchuria only in seIf-defence.
The count called at the State Department.
about noon to talk over the Manchurian stua-
tion with Secretary Hay.
Mr.. Takahira, the japanese Minister had

Germ over the Manchurian situation but de-
clared that the legation without official
advices. in the absence of which he did not care
TO discuss the matter. There is intimation
that Japan is disappointed at the character OF
the support she has received from other powers
up 20 this time in her efforts 10 stop Russias
alleged aggression. On leaving the State De-
partment the minister took occasion TO single
out the following statements printed this morn
ing:
1T is pointed out that Russia employed a
saving clause in the promise to withdraw from
Manchuria the language being Provided. how
ever that the action OF other powers shall nOs
stand in the way" and the further statement
that Russia, Il is understood, contends that
this provfso violated by japan when sha
modified her fleet and otherwise showed signs
of military preparation. which was construed
a menace tc Russia Commenting upon thu
latter statement, he said: "Such contention.
If made is unwarranted-"
Mr.. Takahira added that there has been noth-
ing in the movement of the Japanese Navy
which could be construed as a menace &c Rus
