AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECCRDER, FRIDAY MAY IS, 1903.
—
NO INTERRUPTION OF
OPEN DOOR POLICY
Repetition of Russia's Assur
ance to United States.
LAMPDORF IS INTERVIEWED.
fieoccupaticn of New Chwang by Rus
sian Troops Is Claimed to Be Whol
ly a Political Issue, Not Involving
American Interests.
Paris, May 9.—Commenting on tho
Manchurian situation, the officials here
say the French ambassador at St.
Petersburg has had an interview
the subject with Foreign Minister
Ijaropdorf, which brought out a rope
tition of the statement that Russia had
given positive assurances to the Unit
ed States that tilery, would he no in
terruption of the open door policy in
Manchuria and also tho assertion that
tho mission of General Kurpoatkin, the
Russian war minister to Manchuria,
.was pacific.
The view held here is that Russia’s
assurances fully protect the United
States commercial interests. The re-
occupation of New Chwang by Rus
sian troops is claimed to be a wholly
political issue by Russia, Great Brit
ain and Japan and ns not involving
American commerce or any other
American interest.
TURK0-BUL6ARIAN
SITUATION IS GRAVE
Troops of Both Countries Are
Occupying Frontier.
REPRESENTATIONS OF POWERS.
Victory For Either Turkey or Bulga
ria, Hewever, Would Be Devoid of
Pecuniary Results, as Powers Will
Permit of No Territorial Expansion.
Occupation Temporary.
Paris, May 9.—The official at New
Chwang who sent yesterday’s news of
Russia’s alleged action at New Chwang
and elsewhere in Manchuria, tele
graphs today that the occupation of the
forces at the mouth of tho Liao river
■was temporary arid that tho Russians
have now withdrawn. Official circles
at Pekin aro mystified. Their subor
dinates at New Chwang have not re
ported the re-occupatlon of that place,
henco ihere Is a disposition to uuestlon
the correctness of the information, al
though tho author of yesterday’s story
is considered to bo one of tho ablest
and best Informed foreigners in China.
TUG BOILER EXPLODES.
' St’s >
Engineer Is Roasted by Escaping
Stepm—Firemen Scalded.
■Wilmington, N. C-, May 9.—One man
was killed, two probably fatally in
jured and another seriously hurt by
tho explosion of a boiler on tho govern
ment tug Cynthia Friday nfternfion.
The men were horribly scalded by
a deluge of escaping steam and boiling
•water.
% Tho dead man Is Jesse A. Dicksey,
aged i2, engineer on the tug. Two
firemen, J. C. Warren and Tobc Jack-
son, aro at the Margin hospital with
little or no chance of recovery.
Ambrose Livenicr, the cook, was
blown overboard, but rescued. His
injury is not fatal.
Engineer Dicksey and tho firemen
were in the engine room when tho ex
plosion occurred, and were caught in
a death trap. There was no possi
ble chance for escape, and they were
horribly roasted.
J, Other members of the crew who
ran to the assistance e>f -the unfortu
nate men could not go near until the
boiler was exhausted of Its death
dealing contents. Dicksey was un
conscious when taken out and died
in a short time.
The cause of the acci sS*.t may never
be known. The tug was towing mud
scows from a dredge 15 miles below
the city. The explosion was as ter
rific and sudden as a heavy charge of
dynamite,
Beilin, May 9.—The German gov
ernment regards tho Turko-Bulgarian
situation as beiug grave, but responsi
ble officials say that If a collision can
be staved off through the summer,
more sober councils can get a hearing
in the winter when military action is
impossible.
Regarding the mutual recriminations
of Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing
bellicose purposes the officials here say
Turkey certainly cannot wish for war,
because she Is unable to bear the ex
pense and knows beforehand that the
powers would not permit territorial ex.
paneion as a result of victory. It is
also believed that Bulgaria, while show-
ing a deplorably weak attitude toward
tho revolutionary elements, does not
desire war.
The powers have made representa
tions at Sofia, emphasizing the impos
sibility of allowing Bulgaria to realize
the fundamental aim of its policy,
namely, the acquisition of part.of Ma
cedonia. The I lowers know that the
partition of Macedonia in favor of Bul
garia would cause Greece, Servia and
other countries to raise claims for
Turkish territory. Hence the powers
are unitedly determined not to permit
any change In tho status quo.
On the other hand, the reforms in
Macedonia, which have, unfortunately,
been suspended through tho outbreak
of violence at Salonlca, must be car
ried out and Austria-Hungary and Rus
sia, which are immediately concerned,
will see through their consuls that
they will be carried out.
It Is understood! that the powers In
their representations at Sofia reproach.
Ing the Bulgarian government with
proving weakness toward tho revolu
tionists pointed out by tho lack of
more energetic attitude. In addition
to the communications made to the
government at Sofia the powers have
made representations at Constatlnople
which have convinced Turkey of the
hopelessness of deriving any
territorial or pecuniary advantage from
attacking Bulgaria.
Nevertheless danger lies in tho fact
that Turkish nnd Bulgarian troops are
facing each other on the frontier and
in proximity to it rendering a more
or less accidental collision possible,
which could easily grow into uncontrol
lable dimensions. The situation, is,
therefore, having a depressing effect
on Gorman Boers and Is preventing
any operations on a largo scale.

Too much credit cannot be given
the regular troops for the superb man-

"The Filipinos are indolent to a
marked degree and they have abso

to do by the American officers. Pos
slbly this should be modified to the
extent that they have no confidence
in tho promise made them. This is
due to their past 800 years’ expert
