ST PETERSBURG. April 25.--The off,
Gals Of the Foreign Office here to-day ex-
pressed intense surprise over the report
that American public opinion was dis
turbed by the news regarding Manchuria.
They declared the people of the United
States were being misled by Japan and said
the improvements which were in progress
in Manchuria certainly would benefit inter-
national commerce. The Foreign Office
officials added that no new fundamental
conditions were being imposed, declaring
that what are in progress are pour parliers
concerning the act of evacuation itself and
the organization of the Chinese administra-
ton to assure order. The Chinese admin
istration, however, Is not ready. Russia
desires an assurance that China will MAIN
tain a sufficient police force to repress local
disorders, which are continuous through
out Manchuria, especially in the noun
tains. The detachment of Russian troops
remaining in the country have object
but the maintenance or order locally until
China is able to guarantee that order
would be maintained. The Foreign Office
adds that the number of railroad guards
ultimately will not exceed 10000, unless
under exceptional circumstances.
