According to a Washington special to the Tribune, the I nittil SUtes has d-clined to .inter a protest against the seizure of Man churia by Russia, although aptioach ed by other powers witi ih.u tnd in view and w.irtied by them thii ': suniniation of ihe negotlaiiotis lodjy In St. Pri 'rsbiirg would insure the dismrm bcrment of ihe I'hir.es; empire and probalily lead lo war 'n the Orient. The decision of this government to i abstain from Intervention, in accord ance with its traditional policy In com plications beyond the sea., Was c,,,nn u nicaled very recently to Wu Ting Fang by Secretary Hay. The United States government is con strained to rest Its commercial rights on its emphatic declarations in the last year, which it believes cannot be dis regarded by Russia or any other na tion. These declarations of the Ameri can position before the world were con tained in Secretary Hay s first note re garding the '"open door" in China. The decision of ihe United States not to intervene in the present crisis is fur ther strengthened by the cordial assent t.f all the powers to the assertions of American policy in the memorable now of July 3 last. The third and final rea.m which has lei ihe United States to withhold Us Intervention rests on a hiiherDo unpub lislu'd but brief and very important dt- pluii-atie Incident. It is now disclosed that tile United States tiled an inef fective pretest no longer ago than Feb- i nary 1j, when Secretary Hay warned China that it would be unwise and dan geu.ua io have separate or secret nei5' tiattoiis with any single power and gave notice that the United States would not recognize the validity of such trea ties. On March 1 a circular quoting tins warning was sent to all the interested uowe'.. Particular care was taken that the American ambassador at St. Peters burg should present his copy directly to the Russian minister of foreign af fairs and simultaneously Secretary Hay delivered a copy to the Russian ambas sador at Washington. It was express ly declared to Russia and tlu rest of the world that this government would not recognize such a treaty as that now pending at St. Petersburg. WANTS AN APOLOGY.
