Ambassador Guthrie to the Secretary of State

[Telegrams]

Embassy’s telegram of July 16, 3 p.m. I am confidentially informed that it is understood that there is included in the new Russo-Japanese convention a further clause in which it is provided that after the present war Japanese troops will be permitted largely to replace the Russian troops formerly stationed at Manchuria.
