CHINA AND JAPAN.
MANCHURIAN POSITION. JAPAN CAUTIOUS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Toki-o, May 11. The Japanese press, commenting on the possibility of a Manchurian declaration of independence, which is now frequently rumoured, generally expresses its disapproval, based on the possibility of charges of Japanese intrigue and connivance with Chank Tso Lin. Although one regiment has already sailed from Yokohama to reinforce the Japanese police and garrisons in Manchuria, opposition is being voiced against any further substantial movement of troops to Manchuria, especially from Korea. The Asahi, denouncing as groundless the Pekin despatches reporting Japanese assistance and moral support for Chang, says: “There is no necessity to fear a large revival of banditry in Manchuria, nor mutinies among Chang’s troops. Chang is capable yet of handling the internal situation in his province and providing, a safeguard for Japanese residents.”
The Kokumin says the result of the recent fighting simply exchanges military dictators and does not make any material difference in Chinese foreign relations.
