By one master-stroke of diplomacy—prohibiting Japanese troops from encamping inside the sacred walls of Mukden—Marshal Oyama has gained the firm friendship and gratitude of all 4 Manchus and Chinese loyal subjects of the Throne, and removed the doubts of even the most suspicious Manchus, who ever since the war began have held apprehensions that Japan aimed not only at driving out the Russians beyond the Amur river but also to take possession of the cradle of the Manchu lace.
