Ilus-iln.
Washington, Match 11. The United
Stales government has not been nblo
lo obtain anything like nn offlclal
staternenl of the contents of the al
leged agieemont between Russia anil
China respecting tho protectorate over
Atauclmrlu. If it weie not for tho In
formation which emeu to It unofficial

tho stale department would not be
able to afllurm even the exlsten-'s of

sible to go very far In tho direction
of prnf-'itlnsr ngalnst HussI.iV course.
The state department has from the
beginning sought to discourage .any
kind of ojoi-ot ariangement touchlmr
China. The Russian nrrnngenent r
gardless of It details, would be objec

The opposition to tte Russian nni-o

theie Is every prospect of a consum
mation of th" agreement between Rus
sia and China, unless th" other pow
ers, who aie undecided, speedily come
to a determination to nppoo It.
Partition of Empire Feared.
In view of that Impending crisis, tho
otllclalH heie would regard as of sec
ondary Importance the negotiations in
pi ogress at Pckln respecting1 Indem
nities and punishments, weie It not for
a belief Hint there Is grave danger
that an undue Insistence by tho min
isters at Pckln on tho collection of
Impossible indemnities and tho con
tinuance ot punitive measures, the
Cnlted States government will be
nbllge-d to maintain an attitude ot ex
art neutrality and withhold any a
.slstance that might otherwise bo rea
sonably requested, In the greater pur
pose of checking the consummation of
an agreement which Is almost certain
to tcsult In the paitltlon of China.
As annountori, Spoil-il Commissioner
