Petersburg1 reports giving precise
thrms. ' . '
The Jspsnese legation here points
out that peace negotiations require
oertain definite steps between tbe
parties, and Japaness offioials herd say
tbat prior to determining dellaite
terms it will be indispensable to settle
tbe main principal that the terms
will insure peaoe in the far east (or
many years to come. Xne Japanese
position is said to be quite definite

I would permit Rossis to rehabilitate

Concerning the Indemnity, it is said
that the Japanese war bad ire t no to
March 31 abows that the total war ex
penditures will be about 1350,000,000.
The legation considers tbat some in
demnity is squiUbte, as Japan has
expended double the amount of the
cost of tbe Chinese war in holding up
principles which 8t Petersburg reports
indioate Russia is now disposed to te-oognizs.
Tbe Russian embassy, replying to
Inquiries relative to paoe rumors, says
tbat while peace is the subject of nu
merous conversations in Russia, as
elsewhere, it is incorreot to assume
that tbe government has taken np the

Manchuria as fsr north as Hsrbfo

The difficulty lies in settling the

though tbat tbis difficulty is not in
superable ''Tbe most trustworthy opinion at
8t Petersburg is tbat, in view of tbe
internal situation and tbe enormous
difficulty carrying on the War, Peaoe
on the terms outlined will be conclud
ed within a comparatively short time
if the indemnity question oan be ar
ranged, but it is quite possible tbat
Russia will risk another battle before
