STATEMENT ISSUED THROUGH
 THE RUSSIAN CONSULATE
Explanatory of the Manifesto Issued
 by Russian Commander in Chief.

New York, Sept. 2-George Bak hemeff, Russian ambassador to the United States. today issued the fol- lowing statement through the Russian consulate here:
 Colonel Golejewski, military attache to the imperial Russian embassy, has called our attention to the statement made by the German ambassador in one of the last daily interviews that he gave to the press, in which he saws that the Poles have already risen in rebellion and Russian telegrams stated that the Poles are to be treated as en- em1es. This decides the fate of Rus sia. This news, furthermore, comes from Russia It was not made in Ger many.
 Count Bernstorff has evidently miss understood or misquoted the news that did come from Russia on this sub Ject After his manifesto to all Poles. Russian, Prussian or Austrian, the Grand Duke, commander in chief, is- sued some days ago an order to the army to treat all Poles especially le- n1ently and to give them, even as pris- oners or inhabitants of the region that the Russian army occupies, kind and considerate treatment. This is the at- | tltude of Russia towards the Poles. But the commander-in-c chief de- clared also that Galician Polish So- kols. that is. armed troops of a gym- | nastlc society in Austria-Poland can- not be considered as regular soldiers
 but only as Franc Tireurs' and treat ed as such. This is an accepted rule
 of regular warfare, recognized by ev.
 erybody and especially vigorously en- forced by the Germans themselves Count Bernstorff seems to have gen.
 eralized this last order and applied i not to the Sokol Franc Tireurs' bu to all Poles. There is no doubt bu that both of these orders came iron Russia but the wrong interpretation O.
 them was certainly made somewher else.
 T consider it my duty to give thi explanation in the interest of trutl
 and the press can easily find the text
 both of the manifesto and of thes
 two orders, as they have been pub Ilished in American papers"
