Denbv Gives His Opinion,

Evansville, Ind, April 28.-The seizure
of Manchuria by Russia, in the opinion Of
Charles DENLY, former minister to China,
means the disintegration of the celestial
empire, and he does not believe we can
prevent the Russian government from
taking Manchurfa should China cede that
country to her. He said to-day: -
1--WE send a great deal Of petroleum to
Manchuria- and are interested in that
country. We also send much cotton there.
1t may be assumed as fixed fact in in
ternational politics that Russia is our
friend. It is probable that Russia would
adhere to the principle of the open door,
for which our government has so man.
fully contended. But the seizure Of Man
churia in all human probability means the
disintegration Of China, and that we are
opposed to, because oud commerce may be
injuriously affected and because we are
now an Asiatic power and we do not want
China to be divided up into hostile camps
confronting the Philippines.

WASHINGTON is UNlNFoRMED
No Statement Either From Tower at St.
Petersburg or conger.

Washington, April 2S.-Ne response has
come to the state department as yet from
either Ambassador Tower at ST.. Peters
burg or Minister Conger at Peking to the
inquiries respecting Rassia's demands IN
connection with Manchuria. The officials
are in u state Of suspense and uncertainty
in view of the conflict in the semi Official
dispatches from the Russian and Chinese
capitals. In the absence of official state
ments of Russia's purposes, the opinion
prevails here that these Russian demands
were really put out In tentative form last
week and not in regular official shape.
There Is god reason to believe that the
Chinese government itself let the demands
leak out in order to secure the support Of
the powers in its refusal Of the Russian
tenders.
Noting the intense public excitement
over the proposition the Russian govern
ment, it is surmised, took steps thru the
statement issued in st. Petersburg yes
terday, to abandon several of the original
demands. It is not denied that such re-
duction of the maximum demands was
fully within contemplation when the ten
tative statement was thrown out.
/ If this assumption, general in official
circles here, Is well founded, then Russia
will not further interfere with the con-
summation Of the United States trade
| treaty with China. including as it does the
| new ports Of Moukdon and Taku-Shan. On
the other hand, the fourth demand, char.
acterized by the st. Petersburg statement
\ as ''unirnportant,'' is not SO regarded here
for it amounts to an indefinite continuance
under Russian direction of present condi
| tions In China which will stop all reform
movements. It Is now learned that IL
the original statement of this fourth de
}rnand, namely, the present status Of tn
: administration of Manchuria is to remain
unchanged, there was an important error
and the word Mongolia should take th
place of 'Manchuria:"
The demand as thus modified continue
the status quot in all north China. :
