JAPAN IN SIBERIA.
CHINA'S INTERESTS IMPERILLED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn Copyrleht. Received May 6, 2.30 p.m. Washington, May a. The United States Foreign Department views most seriously the Japanese aggression and occupation of the northern half of the Island of Saghalien, awarded to Russia by the Treaty of Portsmouth, and the abrogation of the Treaty, giving Russia ownership of the Chinese eastern railway from Transbaikal to Harbin, Manchuria, and Vladivostok. It is feared Japan contemplates the seizure and control of the vital artery of the Chinese eastern railway, thus cutting off Siberia's trade from world rivals. The Chinese eastern line is a thousand miles in length.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
