LONDON, Jan. 10.-According to
cables received here today from Tien
Tsin. it has been announced there that
Russia will assist the Chinese revo-
lutionists in overthrowing the Manchu
dynasty, providing the republicans
will agree to permit outer Mongolia
to become Independent. This would
permit Russia to extend her sphere OF
influence in the orient to an alarming
extent.
The Russian legation here denies
that such an announcement was auth
orized by the imperial Russian gov
ernment, but there is little doubt felt
in diplomatic circles here that the
cars ministers will go to almost any
extreme to secure the independence of
Mongolia.
The denial by the Russian legation
is regarded as a quibble, diplomats
here declaring that while Russia has
not made formal demand on China
to release Mongolia, she has queried
the Chinese government regarding its
attitude in the matter
