The new details emerged here as China ratcheted up its verbal attacks and threats against the United States in the aftermath of the accident, which has left the EP-3's 24 crew members stranded on Hainan in Chinese custody. China allowed U.S. diplomats to meet with the group on Tuesday but today refused a request for a second meeting.

The diplomats had stocked up on deodorant, shaving kits and underwear in hopes of being allowed to give the items to the crew members. The U.S. defense attache, Brig. Gen. Neal Sealock, led a mission through the palm-lined streets of Haikou, capital of Hainan province, to a downtown shopping mall to buy the provisions.

Western sources said China is not interrogating the Americans, but it has separated the pilot from the rest of the crew. In a briefing Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao did not rule out charging the pilot with crimes. The Web site operated by the People's Daily, the Communist Party organ, hosted a legal scholar, Zhou Jianhai, who opined that China was within its rights to confiscate the plane and charge the pilot.

"No one thinks they will actually do this," said one Western diplomat, "but they are being very deliberate here in laying out their options."
