Count Cassini Declares That

Not Changed.
CAR CALLS FOR PEACE
Russian Ambassador Discusses the Sit
uation in the East, the Siberian
Railroad and Other Live
Topics of the Present
Time.

to The Times from NarraganSe1 Pler
gives an interview with Count Cassini the
Russian ambassador, in which he says:
There has been absolutely no change
in Russian sentiment or policy toward
the United States. nor does there exist
reason for such a change within my
knowledge. Russian policy does not
conflict with the interests of the Unit
ed States in any part of the world,
more in China than IN England.
Russia seeks only peaceful and friend
ly relations with all other nations.
The correspondent reminded the ambas-
sador that the American people were now
asked by English writer's to believe that
some of the continental powers had sought
to arrange for international Intervention
on behalf of Spain in the recent war and
that this plan of action had been defeated
by the refusal of Great Britain TO be par
ty to it, or even consent to see other pow
ers engage in it, thereby placing TINS couh-
try under a new and special obligation to
the British people.
| never heard that there was such
a proposition by any of the powers,
said Count CaSSini, on the contrary,
all the powers carefully maintained
their neutrality throughout the war be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Coming to the question of Russian devel-
opmcnt in the Orient, Count Cassint sad:

afternoon and during the early part of
the evening the 1000 soldiers fairly
lived in the water, sometimes as many
as 500 being in at the same time. When
a canal boat would come along they
would play at capturing Spanish fleets,
swarming all over the boat, taking full
control and running it up as far as the
