POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.
Nothing Will He Done Beyond Protec-
ton of American Interests.

WASHINGTON, June Perhaps a pub
lished rumor to the effect that the United
States might join with other powers in
prohibiting Russia from landing more
troops than the other powers in China led
to the early appearance at the State De-
rartment to-day of Mr.. De Wolant, the
first secretary Of the Russian embassy The
ambassador is absent on leave from his
post, and the first secretary is acting as
charge. If that was the subject of his in
quiry, the charge was speedily treasured,
for the State Department has made no
concealment of its policy respecting the
Chinese situation and repea tedly init
mated that it Is concerned solely for the
safety of the American legation and con-
sulates in China and for the direct interests
Of the American citizens there.

in communication to-day with Admiral
