n Ambassador to the United States.
Ambassador Bakhmeteff telegraphs to us from Washington as
follows:

"I most emphatically deny having spoken one single word to the
reporter who published an interview with me in your paper. I
have not even seen one, and must insist on your publishing
this very categorical and direct statement."

Of course, we publish the Ambassador's denial not less in
justice to our readers and to ourselves than to him, at the
same time expressing our extreme regret that The Sun should
have been led to believe that it was presenting the Russian
case as viewed by Mr. Bakhmeteff with his full acquiescence.

We add our cordial regret to that of The Sun that this repudiated
statement should have gained further circulation.--Editor.
