After reading the statement Admir- al Dewey positively denied ever hav- | ing written to Aguinaldo. Said he: | “never wrotea letterto Aguinaldo in my life. Whenever I wanted to see him I sent for him. He was em- ployed by me for certain purposes, just asl employed a lot of other people among the natives. I made | him no promises.

As a Result the United States Will not Help Preserve Britain's Interests. Washington, June 8.—Russia has informed the United States that she must not permit her to be used by Great Britain in China. The cabinet decided today that Minister Conger and Rear Admiral Kempff shall not participate in any joint demonstrations that might have the effect of interferring with China or Russia. The British authorities expected United States to take the initiative and by a show of strength and activ ity in compelling peace to dominate the uation and prevent Russia from being the g t factor. Russia, however, has checkmated Great Britain in her designs and checked the United States in any ef- forts retary Hay may have con- templa to giveassistance toGreat Britain. The call of M. 1 Wollant, the Rus- sian Charge d Affa at the State department yesterday, was of unu- sual significance and was employed to convey the intimation to the state department that Russia would ex- pect this country to maintain a neu- tral attitude in China and confine its military attention to the protection of American lives and property. The warning must have been un- usually solemn, for to-day the cabi- net, after reading the dispatchesfrom Admiral Kempfiand MinisterConger, decided that the diplomatic and na- val representatives of this country in China shall participate in no joint demonstration against either the Chinese or the Boxers. but shall con- fine themselves to resisting any at- tack that may be made upon Ameri- or American interests.
