Secretary Hay yesterday regarding the
situation in Manchuria. The minister
received information some time ago
that there was no apparent movement

keenly the conditions which exist, as it
is everywhere known that China is in

are carried out, regardless of what
Russia may do, either In evacuation or
permanent control of the province.
