RUSSIA’S HOLD ON MANCHURIA.
At present there are twelve British and fifteen American warships in the Gulf Pechili.
Dr Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of the London “ Times,” in a letter dated 3rd June, says that China is more than usually quiet. The recent alarmist reports all originated in the Russian Embassy at Washington, and had for their object the assent of the Powers to Russia’s proposal for a further enforced prohibition of the importation of arras for two years. “ Manchuria ” says Dr Morrison, “is gone hopelessly. England and America may make academic protests, but the fact is accomplished. Japan, we think, will do. nothing, and no doubt both England and America are averse to war between Japan, and Russia. This year the relative strength of Japan is at its greatest, and if the opportunity is missed such a chance may never recur.”
