FRANCE AND RUSSIA
ACTING IN CONCERT
Latter's Action as to Manchu
ria Not Surprising.
kWANG 81 OFFICIALS BREED


kWANG 81 OFFICIALS BRlsED
Alfred Cunningham, Manager of the
Hong Kong Daily Press, Just Landed
at Victoria, Speaks of Present Con.
dtons In Orient.
Victoria, B. c., May 20.-AIfred Gun.
nlngham, manager of the Hong Kone
Daily Press, a passenger on the Kaga
Maru, which arrived last night said
IN an interview here that Japanese
journalists do not regard Russia's ac-
ton in Manchulia as surprising or un-
anticipated
MT. Cunningham says that while at
tention is being maintained in the
north by Russian aggression, a mat
ter OF far greater Importance to Amer
lea, Britain and Japan was overlooked
in the south. The report is that of
the aggression of France in the south
ern provinces. He-was Of the opinion
that France and Russia were acting in
concert, the former in the north and
the latter in the south. He says
France has bribed the officials of
Kwang ST and is waiting the appor.
tunlty to pour troops into that prov
1nce. The south, said Mr.. Cunning
ham, is now on the verge of a far
greater international crisis than that
now in the north although at pres
ent the rebellion in Kwang ST is prac-
ticalfy brigandage on a large scale.
The rebellion in south China, he
says is another factor. Large GUAM
titles of arms are being shipped to
the rebels, chiefly from the United
States, and headed by the reformers'
movement will break out pro-foreign
in It's nature, to overthrow the en-
press dowager and reinstate Kwang
Su. He said he had on the best in
formation that a movement organized
on an immediate scale and including
many provinces is liable TO break out
at any moment.
Oriental advices per steamer Kaga
Maru say that a review Of the Jap
anese journals shows a preponderance
of expression that Russia will never
relinquish the Manchurian territory.
The Jill Shimpo has a long inter
view with the Russian minister at Pc
kin from it's correspondent there. He
says the reason Russia opposes the
opening Of Manchuria is that Brit0ns,
japanese and Americans, who want to
reside there have political ends to
advance uncOnnected with commerce.
He says Russia seeks to prohibit the
employment of foreigners in Manchu-
ria in sef-defense, because it is in
evitable that the safety of Manchuria
will be menaced If foreigners go in
Russia he pointed out, has spent large
sums and sent large forces to devel-
Op Manchuria while Britain and ia
pan have not sent a cent there and not
sent a soldier and they cannot have
any right to interfere with the district
In conclusion the Russian minister
said that in Russia the opinion was
gaining ground that the time was ripe
for the st. Petersburg government to
declare Manchuria Russian province
instead of allowing it to remain in
an undecided state
Japanese correspondents state that
the United States minister at Pekin
is indignant at the offensive attitude
adopted by the Russian minister

London, May 20.-The Times Toxic

apparently trying to establish a set.
tlement at Yongaapho, which is situ.
ated southwest of Wiju, Korea, and
commands the mouth Of the Yalu river.
Yongaapho, he says, is capable of con.

Russians pretext is that they require
the place for shipping timber from
the forests of Dengma, which mountain
the Koreans declare is not included
