The Jupanae gn vernmpnt iKir-i official ly Informed tho 1 "nltri States through Embassador Guthrie Guth-rie that, while it has made Important domain! do-main! s on China In connection with tho recent rhish at ChenR Chlntuu, there is nothing in the ropresntations InfrlnKins .Amerlca-n interests by viola tinff the open door, Chinese integrity, or the Koot-Taka-lilra agreement. Whether th Washington government will a.rcept these assurances as conclusive depends on the interpretation which Japan places on her demands as her negotiations with China proreed. Officials here are uncertain aa lo Japan's real Intentions, though it was revealed today that in an inquiry on tlio subject the. .Japanese, foreign for-eign office wati notihed that the. demands had "greatly dlsturbi-il tile Amerkan government." Confirms Outline. ! ErnbiiHsador Guthrie reported that the Japane.se foreign minister confirmed the outline of the demands printed in this country as "approximately true." A similar sim-ilar confirmation from the, Chinese government govern-ment was received during: the day through ; American Minister Keinsch at Peking. Of ficials would not add to a state department depart-ment announcement summarizing the report re-port f, but there was every indication that developments would be anxrously watched. It was pointed out that so far the entire negotiations were in a preliminary and indefinite in-definite Htage. 'Thf Japane.se demands.' as outlined to Embassador Guthrie by the foreign min- I ister, seek apoloKtes, indemnification and installation of Japanese military advisers tlrroiiffiiout south Manchuria and eastern Mongolia, and In (he cadet school at Mukden, Muk-den, together with Japanese police where-ever where-ever in those sections there are large Japanese Ja-panese settlements.

H is not the mere terms Of the Japanese Japa-nese demands, however, which have been well established throughout, so much as their real purpose, that lias caused anxiety here. If the recrudescence of Mongolian banditry, in conjunction with a monarchist revolution, has, as claimed, produced a condition of outlawry where Japanese lives are-endangered, officials are said to bo vwlliiia; to admit that Japan Is aa much justified in having troops in those sections as the United States is in having troops in Mexico. If, on the other hand, it develops de-velops that. Japan is magnifying a small-local small-local disturbance into an international complication to exact political concessions, t lie United States is expected to object, holding that the integrity of China is being be-ing invaded. in this,, connection officials note the promptness with which Japanese soldiers were on the scene, and the fact that a i few days later troops quickly appeared when a similar difficulty broke out at Chaoyanpo. : |
