POPULAR DEMAND FOR
PROTEST TO RUSSIA
Flood Of Letters to State Depart
ment at Washington Request
Government to Interfere.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. May 17.-Lettere and news
paper clippings are coming to the State De-
partment from persons who desire this Gov
ernment to protest to Russia against the
reported outrages on Hebrews in that coun-
try.
Thus far no official advices regarding
these alleged cruelties have been received
by the State Department. and even II this
Government felt in a position to make any
representation to Russia. it would not be
done without careful official investigation as
to the real condition. --..-s
So far as any plan formulated now is
concerned. the United States Government
will make no representations whatever to
Russia. high official to-day said that this
Government had no more reason to protest
TO Russia against treatment OF Hebrews
than Russia would have to complain to
President Roosevelt against the lynchins by
hanging and burning of negroes in the
South and in other parts of the United
States.
The United States policy has always been
to hold aloof from interference in the In
ternal affairs OF other Governments unless
United States citizens were the victims OF
wrongs
When Secretary Hay reminded the Pow
ers signatory to the treaty OF Berlin that
the Hebrews in Roumania we-e not re-
ceiving the rights accorded them b. that
country he had good ground to act upon
because the terms of a treaty were not be-
ing carried out, and the United States were
being injured by an influx CT pauperizsd
Hebrews from Roumania.
Some people have already pointed out 70
officials Of the State Department that the
oppressed Hebrews in Russia may be
driven to this country II Is here that In
f1ucntial and wealthy Hebrews in this coun-
try will exert their influence IN the direc-
ton of some governmental action on the
condition of th.ir k.nspeople in Russia
Count Casspi. the Russian Ambassador.
said to-day that re felt sure that the re-
port had been grossly exaggerated. and that
the Russian Government would deal with
the guilty offenders in such manner that
no other Government would have any
ground for criticism.
