THE CAR ISSUES rlANIFEST
RUSSIA WILL FIGHT TO END
STATEMENTS ISSUED
BY BOTH THE POWERS


ST. Petersburg, Feb. 10.--A long Off
'cial communication today gives the
Russian account of the negotiations
which led to the rupture. The note
says:
The TOXIC cabinet last year under
the pretense of establishing a balance
of power, spbmitted to the imperia
government proposal for a revision
of the treaties with Korea.
Russia consented and Viceroy Alex
eff was charged to draw a project fol
the new understanding with Japan
acting with the Russian minister al
Toxic.
Although the exchange OF views on
the subject was of friendly charac
ter, the Toxic cabinet, influenced by
the local and foreign press, made
greater and greater demands, at the
same time taking the most extensive
measures to prepare for war.
This did not disturb Russia, but
led her to- take military and naval
measures. Russia declared herself
to recognize Japan's privilege CONNER
cial interests in Korea and the right
to protect them by military force in
case of disturbances. While rigorous.
ly observing the fundamental princt
pies of the policy regarding the indei
pendence of Korea, guaranteed by the
previous treaties, Russia insisted ON a
mutual and conditional guarantee OF
this principle; on an understanding
to use no part Of Korea for strategic
purposes, and on the preservation OF
the freedom. OF navigation of the
straits of Kdea.
The prof thus elaborated did not
satisfy Japkh, which in it's last propos
ais declined to accept conditions which
guarantee the independence Of Korea
and insisted on a project regarding
Manchuria. Such questions are mad.
.missable Russias position in Manchu-
ria concerning China and the CONNER.
cial interests OF other powers having
commercial treaties with China, Rus
sia did not refuse during the occupa-
ton of Manchuria to recognize china's
sovereignty and rights OF the ether
powers there.
Russia charging it's representatives
to present its reply to the last proposal
Of Japan, was justified in expecting
the Toxic cabinet to consider the prop
osition set forth,
Japan, not waiting the reply, broke
off negotiations. The imperial govern
ment lays the fault Of responsibility
for the consequence on Japan and
awaits developments Of events.
When necessary it will take the
most decisive measures for the protec
tion Of its rights.
