SUPPOSED AIM OF RUSSIAN POLICY.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph Copyright. London, April 12. Russia's action in delaying the evacuation of Kinchwang is attributed to a desire to establish a Russian claim to certain forestry rights on the Chinese side of the Yala river, and an attempt to establish an independent Customs at Dalny (Port Arthur), with Russian officers to collect the Chinese Customs and report direct to Pekin over the head of Sir Robert Hart, Chief of the Chinese Imperial Customs. This would endanger the Chinese maritime Customs.
