In Nature Of Remonstrance.
(By Cable to The Thbune.l

London, March 18.-lt is understood
here that the American representa-
tions to Japan regarding the demands
on China are in the nature OF re-
monstrance concerning certain details
which appear to infringe American
rights.
One inquiry is said TO concern the
demand that China shall purchase more
than so per cent Of her munitions OF
war from Jap6n. This is considered
perhaps the most direct infringement
on the policy of the "open door" which
the Japanese demands involve.
The Tribune correspondent is IN
formed that the British government
has entered into discussions with ia
nan and China concerning the demands,
and in one quarter it is stated that
the British representations are likely
to bring about some adjustment OF the
situation which may be mutually salts
factory to Japan and China.
The news that Japan is sending addi-
tional troops to Manchuria arouses
GREAT interest. That japan should un-
dertake transferring troops to Man
churia at this time of the year, when
il is very cold and there IS much snow
causes some surprise.
Manchester (via London. March 10.
THE Manchester Guardian" pub
fishes to-day what is described as a
complete list of Japan's demands on
China, concerning which 1t says ed,
torially that the general effect would
be seriously to impair the indepen-
dence of China and place entire prov
inces under the tutelage OF Japan.
A comparison is made between the
japanese demands as sent out by news,
paper correspondents at Peking ana
as published by Japan. at will i'm
mediately be APPARENT from this com
parison," the paper continues, that
not only have many of the most I'M
portant demands been omitted from
the list as upplies TO the powers IN
terested, but others have been so modi-
fed as 10 disguise their real char
acter. Thus, Japan did not indicate
that while she insisted China should
agree rot TO ALLEVIATE any portion
of her coast line or any islands OH
her coast to a third power, she re-
tanned the right TO demand herself the
lease or cession of such territory.
Neither did Japan let it be known that
she demanded exclusive mining rights
in the Yang-tse Basin and that she be
allowed to construct railroads which
would seriously affect British inter
ests in that region

Washington officials De-
cry Reports That Situa-
ton Is Critical.
NO PROTEST MADE
BY UNITED STATES
DR.. jerks Denies Germany Is
Seeking to Influence China
Against Japan.
rrrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 1S.-Reports
from Peking that complications grow
Ing out of Japan's aggressive demands
on China had assumed a critical as
pect were not substantiated in official
quarters in Washington to-day.
Assurances were given at the White
House that the United States, so far
rs it has acted, had proceeded inde-
pendently of Great Britain and Russia
in making representations to the Jap
anese government, and would continue
to do so.
Although State Department officials
refused TO comment on the Far East
ern situation, it is generally under
stood that, so far as the United States
is concerned, there is no reason for
assuming that the diplomatic entangle-
ment is of a grave character. There is
not only doubt that Great Britain and
Russia have taken summary action TO
check Japan's alleged aggressons. but
there is reason to believe the United
States has not made representations in
the nature of protest. 1t is probable
that the American communications
have been inquiries as to the intentions
of the Japanese government rather
than protests against its contemplated
action.
Treaty Rights Preserved.
AZ the Japanese Embassy, which pro-
fesses to be ignorant of the reported
notices served on Japan by Russia and
Great Britain, it was minated that
there was no reason for such action
and that, particularly in the case of
the United States, nothing was con-
templatcd which would infringe on
treaty rights.
In the original demands on China
were certain concessions relating TO
mining and trade generally which
might have con1icted with privileges
accorded the United States by China
under the treaty of 1903. These, 1t is
understood, have been eliminated.
Having taken the attitude in the
negotiations for the so-called HUI
Kuang loan, that the United States will
not be a party to any concerted trans
action with the great powers to put
China in a disadvantageous position
through the medium of loan. there is
much doubt that the administration
would find cause in the demands of
Japan to reassert the principle of the
open door Having rejected the policy
of Secretary Knox in this respect, the
administration practically served notice
that it regarded China as an independ-
ent nation capable of steering its own
course.
The State Department will watch the
situation closely, but the belief ap-
parentiy prevails that the difficulties
will be adjusted and that the Japanese
government will not infringe the rights
of Americans.

Denies German Intrigues.

Professor Jeremiah W. jerks, of New
York University, an authority on Far
Eastern affairs, took issue yesterday
with published reports that Germany
was instigating China against Japan.
81 can say positively and authorita-
lively" said DR.. jerks, that Germany
has not intrigued in any way to dis
rupt the friendly relations between the
government Of China and the govern
ment of japan. | am assured that
there is not the least foundation for
reports that German influence has die
tated or affected the policy OF the Pc
king government IN discussing out
standing questions with Japan. have
no direct information as to the re-
ported activities OF certain army off,
GERS in violation of China's neutrality.
China, however, has made it clear that
she will not permit herself to be used
as a party TO any such violation"
Professor jerks pointed out that a
fierce general election campaign is
under way in Japan, the polling being
due within a week, and added: -,
"The situation is clearing, and while
there seems TO be need for frmness
and friendly persuasion on the part OF
those charged with the representation
of American interests In the Far East,
! question If there has not been too
serious feelings of alarm. think you
will find a very marked cessation OF
alarmist reports from the Far East
after the Japanese elections have been
decided one way or the other. II

KARLSRUHE'S CREW
AT HOME, REPORT
Disaster Kept Secret to
MiSlead the British,
II Is Said.

Copenhage via London), March IS.
Another version of the alleged de-
struction of the German cruiser karls-
ruhe is published to-day by the Ma
tional Tidende." This account purports
10 emanate from German merchant
captain, who had served as a petty Of
fcer of the Landstrum in Wllhelms-
haven. The captain is reported TO have
declared that the crew OF the Karls-
ruhe arrived in Germany on the Ger
man liner Rio Negro early in Deem
Der. but that this fact and the fact
that the disaster had occurred were
kent secret, so that the British cruis-
ers would continue their search for
the German sea raider.
Early in December il was reported
that the Karlsruhe had evaded the
British feet and arrived in German
port.
Recently there have beer no reports
Of the actual movements OF the Karls-
ruhe. which early in the war gained
fame as sea raider, although there
have been several unconfirmed state
nents that the cruiser had met dis
aster. One of these stories emanated
from a sea captain who asserted that
he had seen the hulk of the Karlsruhe
on the beach Of one of the Grenadine
Islands of the Windwsrd group, in the
caribbean Sea. The vessel, he de-
clared. either had gone ashore in
storm or been destroyed by an explo-
sion.
A London dispatch Wednesday night
quoted a Copenhagen correspondent as
asserting that he had been informed
from an authoritative source, that the
Karlsruhe had been rent in two by an
explosion and that one-half OF the yes
sci sank Immediately and carried down
mart of the crew. The other half, IL
+ asserted, foated for time and from
II between $50 and 200 men were res
cueG by an accompanying steamer which
took them into German port.
The statement that men from the
crew of the karlsruhe arrived in Ger
many on the steamer Rio Negro early
in December possibly may be accurate.
