NO RESTRAINT ON ADMIRAL KAUTz.

Washington. May 2.-It is denied officially
here that any undue restraint has been imposed
Admiral Kautz which should encourage the
insurgents in Samoa. On the contrary. the Ad-'
mira has been advised that the President sup
ports him in all that he has done. and Is en-
trely satisfied with his conduct. The only in
junction laid on the Admiral has been to avoid
unnecessary slaughter and bloodshed. This is
not understood to restrain him from such mill
tary and naval operations as in his opinion are.
necessary fully to protect the interests Of Amer
ican British and German residents in Samoa.
1t is expressly understood that Admiral Kautz is
present simply for the purpose Of carrying out
the treaty obligations in regard to the interests
Of the citizens Of the three Powers. and not as
representative OF any one country.
No advices have been received by the State
and Navy departments Of the date Of the last
press dispatches and hence it is assumed that
nothing OF great Importance has occurred war
ranting the sending Of cable dispatch by
either Admiral Kautz or Consul Osborn.

Aguinaldo disavows the present negotiations.

concludes with contemptuous reference to Ma

more authority to act on behalf Of Aguinaldo
than has Luna himself.

TO RECOGNIZE VOLUNTEERS SERVICES

Washington, May 2-The President has assured
several of his Congressional visitors from the West
OF his deep appreciation Of the services rendered by
the volunteers especially those who have remained
with their regiments since the proclamation OF

In some fitting way the courage and endurance Of
the volunteers who had the right to be discharged
on demand but who have continued In the service
and materially assisted In bringing the Philippine
war to a. close 1t is more than likely that Presi-
