WHAT HE SAID AT WASHINGTON
AS 20 the Tenor of the Conversation with
Hay on the 2Sth of June.

Washington, July 21.-In Conver-
sation at the Russian embassy on the
afternoon of June 20 with the Asso-
ciated Press representative Count Cas-
sini referred to the call of Secretary
Hay to the day previous and expressed
his qualification at it SreSultS. The
ambassador, in reply to the question as
TO whether Manchurfa was under dis
cusSion during the call, replied in the
affirmative, stating that he had assured
Hay that Russia would execute to the
letter her pledges in Manchuria, and
at the proper time would Concede GER
tain ports. The ambassador then re-
CALLED the conversation between him
self and the secretary. pointing out
that while no agreement had been
reached as to which ports should be
opened the broad understanding was
arrived at that Russia should give to
the United States what she had asked
for.
To this. it was said, Hay expressed
his satisfaction, and as he was leaving
Count CaSSini said that he hoped an
announcement to the world of the ex
act ports which would he openeo
would he possible in few weeks. 1t is
believed here that the point the am
bassador IS endeavoring to make is
that the general understanding reached
between himself and Secretary Hay
at the conference on June 23 did not
specify the ports to be opened, which
at that time had not been decided up
on. Moreover. when the ambassador
says no definite agreement had been
reached it is assumed that he refers
to the fact that no written exchanges
passed between Secretary Hay and
himself at that time.
