RUSSIA GIVES
ASSURANCES
"$
Manchafian Question No Longer
Bothers Uncle Sam.
TWO PORTS Will Be OPENED
JAPAN SUSPICIOUS OF CONFER
ENcE AT PORT ARTHUR.
TWO PORTS Will BE OPENED

Washington. July 16.-The Manchu-
rian question has been settled satisfac-
torily to this government. Assurances
have been received from the Chinese
government that it viii in the near fu-
tu-e open, as treaty ports, several ports
now closed to the worlds trade The
Russian government has conveyed for
NAL assurance TO the United States
government that it win not in any way
oppose such opening. The ports to be
opened are not yet specified, but II is
supposed they are MOukden. the prin-
cipal port OF Manchuria, and Ia Tung
kaO, at the mouth of the Yalu river.
The state department is highly grated
at this outcome. feeling that il has. Sc
cured not only for American commerce,
but for the commerce OF the world at
large, very substantial gains.
London, July 16.-Both the foreign
office and japanese legation say they
are without advices as to the result OF
the conference of Russian officials at
Fort Arthur. The japanese officials
are disappointed at the attitude of
Great Britain, which they believe is n
the direction Of endeavoring 10 re-
strain Japan's active policy in China.
The reciprocal visits OF King Edward
and President LOubet are regarded as
an indication that Great Britain is
seeking to maintain such relations with
France as viii prevent the latter from
supporting Russia in the event of war,
thus relieving the British government
of the necessity of aiding Japan under
the British-Japanese treaty alliance. 1t
was said that the Toxic government
mainly relies upon the support of the
United States, which Japan is energet-
ically backing up in the demand for
open ports in Manchuria.
London, July 1.-THE few morning
papers which comment on the an
nodncement thai the state department
at Washington mas received assurances
from the Chinese government that il
would shortly open several ports to the
worlds trade, congratulate Secretary
Hay on the success he has gained on
the admission of the principle of ''the
open door" in China. and While ex-
pressing great suspicion that Russian
diplomacy has left some troublesome
conditions in reserve they are in
clined TO believe that Secretary Hay is
too astute to be put off with a mere pa
per concession.
The Daily Graphic says: while the
realization of the policy which Mr.. Hay
has pursued with such signal ability
is perhaps still remote, the concession
obtained is valuable as showing on
which side are the trump cards"
The daily News says the United
States has shown wisdom in rejecting
the order Of special privileges.

RATIFIED WITH
ONE EXCEPTION
United States Tfsatias Go
Through Cuban Senate.
SaNGUlLLY CONES DOWN
SPEECHES OF THE OPPOSITION
WERE BRIEF.

Havana. July 1e.--The. senate tonight
ratified all the treaties with the United
States except the Plat amendment
treaty The senate ratified the treaty
signed Feb. 16. granting the United
states sites at Guantanamo and Bahia
Honda for naval and cOaling stations
the agreement leasing the areas of the
said stations which was signed July 2,
and also tire treaty conceding to Cuba
sovereignty over the Isle OF Pines. The
only treaty remaining Unratified is the
sO-called permanent treaty covering all
the provisions of the Plat amendment.
The fact of securing the naval stations
completes all that the United States
has been DESTROYS of obtaining.
The Isle of Pines treaty and the per-
ament treaty were both carried out on
the Initiative of Cuba.
In the ratification Of the naval sta
tions treaty the report of the majority
Of the foreign relations committee was
set aside. The majority report recon-
mended the pOstponement of action. IL
was signed by the chairman, Senior
Bustamente, and two others. Senior
Bustamente was the most able advo-
cate of the reciprocity treaty both times
that it was ratified, but he changed
his attitude on account of the United
matter.
Reciprocity was not mentioned at to-
days discussion. with the exception OF
a speech by Senior Sanguilly. The lat
ter opposed reciprocity, but today he
expressed himself strongly in favor of
all the treaties which Cuba, in virtue
Of her acceptance of the Platt amend
ment. is Obliged to carry out Senior
Senguilly said the ratiicatlonsDf the
treaties was absolutely demanded by
the national honor in order to carry
out the solemn pact in which Cuba was
engaged by the acceptance of the PA Il
amendment. especially so as but for
the Plat amendment there would have
been no Cuban reciprocity.
The speeches in opposition to the
treaty were brief and consisted chiefly
Of assertions that the executive had
T,Ot submitted the entire details to the
st nate. that the safeguards guaranteed
10 Cuba were insufficient and that the
treaty and the lease agreement ought
TO be combined.
