WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The Chi

by officials in the state, war and navy
departments that no dispatches have
been received bearing on the problem
which has vet to be solved, namely.
the disposition Of China's affairs at
the hands of the powers. 1t was stated
at the war department, however, that
no advices have been received, indicat-
ing that General Chaffee had left Pc
kin.
A cabinet officer is authority for the
statement that there is no information
in the possession Of this government
that Russia had declared war or that
she is pursuing a course in any way
different from thatof the other govern
ments represented in China. Regarding
the attitude of this government in
case differences among the powers
should arise as to their future course
in China, it was stated on authority
today that this government remained
opposed to any territorial division Of
China, as was plainly stated in Sec
retary Hays note of July 3. Every re-
source Of diplomacy will be exhausted
to prevent the partition of the empire.
