NO PRESSURE ON DENMARK.
An official denial is given to the Lon
don publication reciting that the Unit
ed States government has adopted
menacing attitude toward Denmark in
the course of the negotiations touching
the cession Of the Danish West Indies to
the United States. It is stated that these
negotiations have been character by
the most friendly feeling on both sides.
The United States government has not
exercised the slightest pressure on Den
mark nor will 1t do so. If the cession is
decided upon, 1t must be entirely yolun-
tary upon the part of the owners.
