WE LOOK UPON CHINA AS SOVEREIGN.
That Government Has Made Pledges
to Open Certain Ports. and the

Intends That the Pledges Shall
BE Kept.

Washington, July 23.-Notwith-
standing the publication of dispatches
from various foreign cities question
ing the extent of the promises made
to the American government by Chi
ma and Russia respecting Manchuria,
the officials here positively decline TO
add to or take one word from the
statement published from Washing
ton just before the departure of Sec
retary Hay, to the effect that salts
factory assurances had been received
that two or more Manchurian ports
would be opened to the worlds trade.
1t is quite certain that China, which
is here regarded as the sovereign
power in Manchura, made these
pledges, and it is equally certain that
THE UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT FULLY INTENDS THAT
THEY SHALL BE KEPT. The de-
tails referred to in the original state
ment as requiring adjustment are
still unsettled, but the state depart
ment is patient, resting in full conf
dence of the opening of the ports re-
quired within a reasonable length Of
time. 1t is true, as stated in the Lon
don dispatches, that Japan looks with
suspicion upon the Russian pledges
relative to Manchuria, and has inti-
mated to the state department that
they are not satisfactory, but so far
the department sees no reason to ac-
cept that view.
