GARMISCH, Germany — Rus
sia's defense chief, in a blunt re
buff Sunday to the Clinton admin
istration, ruled out U.S. mediation
of Moscow's dispute over nuclear
weapons that Ukraine inherited in
the Soviet collapse.
Russian Defense Minister Pavel
Grachev said that the only proper
American role is to use its clout to
compel Ukraine to fulfill its 1992
promise to turn over its nearly
2,000 nuclear weapons to neigh
boring Russia.
"We can rule out mediation by
the United States in relations be
tween Russia and Ukraine,"
Grachev said.
"As to the United States' influ
ence on Ukraine" on fulfilling its
pledges for nuclear disarmament,
Grachev said, "I think the United
States is able to do this."
Grachev's remarks reflected the
Kremlin attitude, expressed this
weekend to a U.S. delegation led
by Defense Secretary Les Aspin,
that Washington should take
Moscow's side in its dispute with
Kiev, according to U.S. officials
who took part in the meetings.
The Russians do not want the
U.S. government to be a neutral
party. They want unequivocal
support for their arguments and
no concessions to Ukraine, the of
ficials said. The officials comment
ed on the discussions on condition
they not be further identified.
Grachev told Aspin that
Moscow has no interest in a com
promise such as dismantling the
weapons but storing them in
Ukraine under international con
trol, the officials said.
They said Grachev did not ex
plicitly rule out any compromise,
but he made clear his preference
for an unyielding approach.
Grachev was "skeptical" of all
the suggested means of settlement
put forth by Aspin, officials said.
"He wants to hold tight and be
firm with them," one official said.
The U.S. delegation told the Rus
sians that such a rigid approach
would not work and might even
make matters worse, he said.
"It's not only not working now,
its counterproductive. Time is not
a friend here."
The Russians have told Wash
ington that they believe the nu
clear weapons problem with
Ukraine must be resolved within
six to nine months, although U.S.
officials said Sunday they think
that is an exaggeration designed
to pressure Ukraine and worry
the United States.
The Clinton administration
agreed with Moscow that Ukraine
should live up to its pledge to be
come a non-nuclear state and give
up its inherited nuclear weapons,
which include warheads for 176
intercontinental ballistic missiles
capable of reaching the United
States, as well as warheads for air-
launched cruise missiles.
But the U.S. administration
also wants to address Ukrainian
fears that its security may be
threatened by Russia, and that the
United States is interested in a
broader relationship with Ukraine
than one simply based on the nu
clear issue.
They spoke at the conclusion of
a series of meetings that started
Saturday evening in Garmisch, a
spectacular resort town surround
ed by the Bavarian Alps.
Aspin did not respond to
Grachev's remarks.
The U.S. defense secretary later
flew to Kiev for evening talks
with Ukrainian Defense Minister
Konstantin Morozov and meet
ings Monday with President
Leonid Kravchuk and a separate
session with members of the
Ukrainian parliament.

The freighter hit a sandbar about 200 yards off a
seaside park, near a Coast Guard station. Police were
investigating whether the ship beached itself inten
tionally to offload its human cargo.
The rescue effort pitted Fire Department and
Coast Guard teams in small boats against high surf
and swift currents. A Coast Guard skiff capsized, but
all three crew members escaped injury.
Most aboard were from China's Fujian province
and had been at sea about 100 days, said William
Slattery, director of the Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service in New York.
A 27-year-old immigrant from the city of Fuzhou
in Fujian province said he and the others panicked
when the ship ran aground.
"We completely didn't know what was happen
ing," said the man, who was too afraid to give his
name. "I felt like I died a little inside."
He jumped from the ship, and said it felt like
"there was no one to save us." But a rescuer helped
him ashore.
The man, who came to the United States seeking
work, said the boat had been at sea for more than
three months but he didn't know where it had been.
Immigration officials report a rising tide of China
immigrants attempting to sneak into the United
States, aided by smugglers who charge $20,000 to ,
$35,000 per person. More than 1,800 illegal Chinese
aliens have been caught since January.
On May 24, 240 Chinese immigrants were
dropped by a freighter beneath the Golden Gate
Bridge in San Francisco, thrusting the surge in Chi
nese alien smuggling into the national spotlight.
Immigrants often must work off their passage
with years of indentured servitude.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said investi
gators suspect Asian gangs in the city may have
funded the ship's journey. He said 13 crew members
will be prosecuted on smuggling charges. The ship
will be confiscated.

Challenge was never mentioned
to students in the mechanical en
gineering department before.
This year the competition is
being held at the same time as
the first meeting of the Presi
dent's Federal Fleet Conversion
Task Force. It also coincides
with the Fourth Annual Alterna
tive Vehicle Fuels Market Fair
and Symposium.
The task force, chaired by the
Commissioner of the Texas Gener
al Land Office, Garry Mauro, is a
new program begun by President
Bill Clinton and the Department
of Energy to convert the federal
fleet to natural gas, electric or oth
er clean-burning alternative fuels.
The task force includes execu
tives in the auto manufacturing
and energy industries, environ
mental advocates and government
officials.
The alternative vehicle fuels
market fair and symposium will
exhibit the latest in the alternative
fuel technology.
Jeff Long, Texas general land
office information coordinator, be
lieves the market and symposium
will help the competing students.
"It'll give students a chance to
look at what the industry is do
ing," he said.
The competition is being held
at the Austin Convention Center
and is sponsored by the Depart
ment of Energy, Texas General
Land Office, American Gas Asso
ciation and the Society of Auto
mobile Engineers.
GUATEMALA CITY - Con
gress elected Guatemala's human
rights prosecutor as president late
Saturday to replace Jorge Serrano,
who was ousted for imposing
one-man rule.
Cheering erupted as Ramiro de
Leon Carpio, the government-ap
pointed attorney general for hu
man rights, was chosen after his
only significant challenger with
drew.
The vote count was 107 for de
Leon Carpio, six abstentions and
two votes for other nominees.
"My mission at this time is to
save the nation of Guatemala,"
said de Leon Carpio, 51.
He pledged to unite a country
convulsed by Serrano's seizure of
near-dictatorial powers May 25
and subsequent ouster after eight
days of emergency rule.
"I am a democrat who will
fight for liberty, but more than
anything I will not tolerate vio
lence or injustice," de Leon Car
pio, whose office was suspendec
under emergency rule.
Hundreds of people cheered
outside the congress, and firecrad
ers exploded in celebration.
The election of a human righ
activist was unprecedented in
country with a poor human righ
record and a 33-year-old war, tk
longest running conflict in Centra!
America.
De Leon Carpio's candidaci
was strengthened after Arturt
Herbruger Asturias, the 81-yeai
old president of the country
Supreme Election Tribunal, wit
drew from the race.
"I see no point in prolongiitj
this," Herbruger said on tele#
sion after an earlier vote gave hi®
51 votes to 64 for de Leon Carpi
with one abstention.
Gen. Jose Domingo Garcia
Samayoa, the defense minister
promised not to interfere, bm
stopped short of saying whethei
the powerful army would
whomever Congress chose.
