cAssINPs STATEMENT.
Afraid That Seizure of Craft May En-
danger Worlds Peace.

Washington, Aug. ban mterVle"
by Count Cassini, the Russian amoas-
sador. published in New York paper.
today. attracted attention among the
official class here. particularly because
NJ the statement attributed to the am
bassador that by the seizure OF the
Ryeshitelni. Japan had broken Chinese
neutrality and had wrecked Secretary
Hays plan to limit the field of opera
lions and also to prevent world war,
by dragging into the CONNECT the aliies
OF Japan and Russia.
IT NAV be stated that the official
opinion here as to this probility does
not coincide with that entertained by
the ambassador. 1t is confidently ex-
peCted that neutrality so far as land
onerations are concerned can be pre-
served and after all that is the phase
that would most endanGer the WORLDS
peace by obliging the allies to enter the
lists. 1t is known that the British gov
eminent is in thorough accord with the
American view on this point and 1t is
believed that France and Germany
with their enormous pecuniary inter-
ests in the Russian funds and In east
ern Investments are equally des1rous
Of doing everything WltHiI tntii po"Ul
to maintain the present war zone.
However. it Is said there is nothing
in the ambassadors statement tnat
seems to involve any change of policy
on the part If the state department.
which feels that. having been instru-
mental in securing the solemn pledge OF
both Russia and Japan to observe
Chinese neutrality. it must rely uron
the honor Of those nations faithfully to
execute that pledge and that 1t certain
Nv cannot be expected to be dragged
into the conflict either by taking sides
or by seeking any other means than
mere moral suasion to induce the belli-
Eerents to live up to their promises.
Washington. Aug. 19.-Secretarles
Hay. Taft and Wilson and Postmaster
General Payne were the only members
of the cabinet present at today's meet
ing. Secretary Hay called attention
again to the complications which have
grown out Of Japan's seizure Of the
Russian destroyer in the harbor Of Che
Foo and the claim of Russia that the
action was a violation by the Japanese
of the neutrality of China. No decision
was reached concerning the attitude
this government will assume regarding
the incident.
