2 THE SUNDAY OEEGONIA, PORTLAND, MARCH 12, 1905. NOT ENOUGH YET Russia Wants More War Before Peace. NO OVERTURES ARE MADE Most Positive Denial Made by '.Her' Officials. SAY JAPAN STARTS HEPORTS Though Her Friends In Other Coun tries Urge -Her-to Give Up, She 'Says Reports of Overtures Have No Foundation. ST. PETERSBURG, March 1L A semi official statement this evening ie as- fol lows: "The defeat in Mukden Is furnishing material for conjectures of peace pour parlors to the European press, which Is filled with articles and expressions of opinion on the subject of peace. It has been stated in all seriousness that the Russian Government has informed the French government that it is the inten tion of the Emperor to engage In peace pourparlers. We are authorized to de clare in the most categorical fashion that all statements to the effect that It Is the intention of the Russian government to open pourparlers with a view to the con clusion of peace are absolutely without foundation. "The statements do not emanate from well-informed Russian sources. They aro simply conjectures of various correspond ents or arc derived from Japanese sources. "It is known that Japan is at present negotiating a. loan with British and Amer ican bankers, and that sho Is also nego tiating for 100,000.000 yen (about $50,000,000) with an oil company, giving as guarantee naphtha deposits in North Japan and in Baghalien Island. Interested parties are encouraging these reports in order to as sure success of the loan, after removing the fears caused by the uncertainty as to the duration of the war." RUSSIA MUST TAKE INITIATIVE No Move for Peace Will -Come From Japan, Says Takahlra. WASHINGTON. March 11. With Muk den as his new base. Marshal Oyama has determined to push northward In the direction of Harbin with a large part of his army in tho effort to follow up hia recent victory as rapidly as possible and accomplish his one great purpose of ad ministering a really crushing defeat to General Kuropatkin. This information has reached Washington from an au thoritative sourco and accurately sets forth the presont programme of tho Toklo Avar Office. After receiving soveral cablegrams tell ing of the victories of the Japanese around Mukden, M. Takahlra, the Japa nese Minister, although the host zp a brilliant reception last night, which lasted past midnight, was an early visitor at tho State Department today where he hao halfan hour's conversation with Secretary Hay. As he was leaving the department, the Minister was asked what effect In his opinion tho battle of Mukden would have upon the ultimate Issue of the war. "For us it is but a chapter In tho great conflict though a most important one," the Minister replied. "It Is difficult for me to say how much tho battle of Mukden will contribute towards peace, for over- THE BEST MEDICINE FOR THE STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS IS HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters THE GENUINE IS FOR tures for peace must necessarily come from .the other side." Wfll your government suggest peace. In the light of Oyama's -victory?" the Minister was asked, as he entered 'his carriage. "The initiative, I repeat, can scarcely ho looked for from Toklo," he replied. JAPAN MUST TAKE FIRST STEP Russia Wants No Mediation and Her Position in Asia Assured. ST. PETERSBURG. March 11. Neither Emperor Nicholas nor the government has taken a step in the direction of peace, and probably win require several days to reach a decision on this point. The report that France has already been asked to Intervene is, however, positively untrue. The Associated Press is enabled to make the following statement: "The movement might prove oppor tune, but the question of peace lies with Japan an J not with Russia. Rus sia - would welcome peace and peace could be arranged, not through a third power, but by direct negotiations be tween the two countries If Japan would propose moderate terms. As the victor. Japan is in a position to take the first step. Russia cannot and will not sue for peace. Neither could she accept terms which did not recognize Russia as a power in the Far East. "It Is Idle to speculate on tho con crete terms. The only thing is that Russia's position in the Far East must be recognized. Friends of peace throughout the world should use their Influence with Japan. The victor should show moderation. Otherwise no end of the war is in sight," NOT A WORD OF PEACE, SAYS HE Cas6tni Predicts Large Reinforce ments Will Be Sent. WASHINGTON. March " 11. "After Llao Tang there was talk of peace Russia's answer was reinforcements. Like Llao Tang. Mukden is the scene of another retreat and again Russia's an swer will be large reinforcements, but of peace not a word." This was the emphatic statement of Count Casslni, the Russian Ambassa dor, today In light of the morning dis patches telling of the Russian retreat. Tho only official news he has received in the last few days from his govern ment regarding the operations Is con tained In a brief cablegram, which came last night, saying that General Kuropatkin was retreating after days of fierce fighting. The Ambassador, however, was ac quainted several weeks ago with the final decision of the Emperor that Rus sia would continue the war until Rus sian arms were victorious, regardless of the. time It would require, and al ready preparations are being made for large reinforcements to General Kuro patkin. If an echo of peace should come out 'of St. Petersburg, no official In Wash ington would be more surprised than the Russian Ambassador, who has all along been positively Informed that nothing but victory for General Kuro patkin can bring an end to the" war. MAKE BEST TERMS POSSIBLE French Official Paper Urges Russia to End Conflict. PARIS, March 11. The Temps, which usually reflects the sentiment in offi cial quarters, prints a notable leading editorial tills afternoon, appealing to Russia to accept the inevitable and make the best peace possible. The paper declares that Russia's sacrifice will be less than that of France at the end of the Franco-German War, as France struggled against the dismem berment of her own country, whereas Russia struggles to hold Manchuria, which she has formally promised to re turn to China. Moreover, tho battle of Mukden definitely establishes Japan's advantage and, therefore, self-interest demands that Russia recognize her de feat and abandon the struggle. Tho Temps adds: "The overwhelming majority of French public opinion, resolutely at tached to th Franco-Russian al liance, appeals to its ally for a pacific solution. The united Interests of France and Russia call for surf, n .n. lutlon, and France wishes In hor allyj mat ncroic spirit necessary for a set tlement that the crisis now presents." No Peace Overtures Made. LONDON, March 11.

The officials here, say no negotiations are in progress so far aa the British gov ernment Is concerned, and the gov ernment has no news forecasting such negotiations. NOT EQUAL TO THE OCCASION Kuropatkin's Task is Too Large, Oyama's Great Genius Shown. RERUN. March 11. Lieutenant-General A. von Boguslawsky (retired), of all the military critics who endeavored to esti mate the battle of Mukden, in the Ber lin press today, probably Is the most com petent and of the highest rank. Field Marshal Oyama. he says, by the great ness of the things he has done, must be accepted as a great commander, and es pecially because he did not possess su periority In numbers. The battle is of absorbing Interest for professional sol diers, because never before have such numbers been engaged over so wide a territory. The very magnitude of the operations has been a test of Ingenuity of the Commander-in-Chief. I am little inclined." says General von Boguslawsky. "to sit at the green table and give a damning verdict, but still one may bo allowed to form an opinion on such facts as are already available. "The task of directing 400,000 men on a single stage, with SO to 100 miles of front, so that each unit may have its proper weight against a thoughtful and active enemy, was too large for Kuropatkin. whose training was adjusted to the com mand of some 100,000 men. The brain in oommand failed on the Russian side to perceive the developments and meet them with proper precision. "Oyama was somewhere far from tho rim of the fighting zone, in touch by field telegraph and telephone with every Important unit In action. He was doubt less able to sketch approximately at any time the relative positions of his own and the Russian divisions and co-ordinate the movements. With a certain ef ficiency of forces, even with tho fruits of victory not yet fully gathered, Oyama has achieved an immense victory, the effects of which on the military situation In the Far East and In the Internal situation in Russia must be far and deep-reaching." Colonel Gaedko. of tho Tageblatt, and other critics arrive at the same conclu sions. SEND ANOTHER ARMY, SAYS HE Vladimir's Answer to Question as to Next Move. ST. PETERSBURG, March lL-6:5 P. M.) North of Mukden, when this dis patch was filed, the situation of the Rus sian army was depicted as not so bad as generally believed here at that hour, but due allowance must be made for the censor's restrictions. No official dis patch was Issued today. Tho temper of the Imperial family can perhaps be Judged by Grand Duke Vlad imir's response when asked what would be Russia's reply to General Kuropatkin's defeat. "Send- another army," was his answer. It was evident that the dispatch of the Associated Press, from Tie Pass, dated March 10, 10:30, was written and filed at Mukden Friday morning, and taken to Tie Pass, when the telegraph station was removed there The dispatch indicates that the Russian rear guard, which per haps Kuropatkin had decided to sacrifice deliberately, was holding works about Mukden while tho army was making Its way northward, and that he was cover ing his west flank as best he could from the attacks of Generals Nogl and Oku. The real tide of battle was probably about to break. HIS ARMY IS OUT OF DANGER Kuropatkin Reports Successful Re treat Despite Cannonade. ST. PETERSBURG. March 11. A dis patch from General Kuropatkin. timed 6 P. M., March 10. says: "The retreat of tho army was very dangerous, especially trying for those corps which were some distance from the Mandarin road. "Tho Japanese penetrated far Into the mountains in the direction of. Tawan. They threatened our troops, but thanks to extraordinary efforts our armies are out of danger. "The enemy cannonaded the route of our retreat from the east and west. The Eastern Mandarin road was bombarded at two points near Tawan and the Pu River. , "Our troops are very brave.

PARI3. .March 1L -The government's advices from St. Petersburg say that the most profound anxiety prevails In the highest quarters there concerning the desperate nature of the situation in Man churia. Russian military and political quarters are practically cut off from all details, except those contained in the dis patches published in the American, Brit ish and French press. The absence of of ficial information has heightened the anx iety to an intense pitch, and gives rise to sinister forebodings concerning Kuropat kin's ability to extricate his army from lt perilous position. Therefore the offi cial dispatches from St. Petersburg reflect the extreme apprehension felt throughout Russian officialdom. There is a similar feeling of apprehension In official quar ters hero, where attention is concentrated on the Anal outcome of the battle. The French officials are inclined to be lieve that the struggle will continue for three or four days -longer before results are attained which may provo declaive upon the whole war. Until Mukden was captured It was believed that Kuropatkin would succeed In cutting his way north ward and concentrate his troops for a struggle at Harbin, but tho latest advices begin to Incline the officials to take the view that Kuropatkin's defeat may reach the magnitude of a crushing disaster from which his army will be unable to recover. Consequently, the events of the next four days will be watched with Intense Inter est. RETIRE NORTH IN DISORDER Russians Are Exhausted and Under Constant Shell Fire. WASHINGTON, March 11. The Jap anese Legation has received the fol lowing cablegram from Toklo: "Report received on tfie night of March 10: In the direction of Slng klng our detachment is now attacking a superior enemy, who holds a height in the north of Fushun.

Thanks to Prince Khllkoffs foresight, forethought and energy, that line has per formed a far great quantity of work than It was guaranteed to do. Instead of somo Ave pairs of trains dally, no fewer than 17 pairs were run successfully and with few and unimportant breakdowns. But even iron and steel have limits to the force of resistance and the rails of the Siberian line already appear to have reached them. Reports ot a general sag ging of the rails and other serious defects have been received so frequently of late that Prince Khllkoff, who had only just arrived from Kharkoff, Is now obliged to start again for Siberia, where ho Intends to make a protracted stay and t5 super intend the work of repairing the line. At present the railway can barely con vey enough provisions for the army In the field, and can do practically nothing else, but even this Is becoming Increasingly difficult, and the number of dally trains will Boon be cut down. No large stores of provisions have been accumulated at Harbin, Vladivostok, which Is also very badly victualed, and cannot count upon the railway for a sufficient supply of food, troops or war material, will be largely de pendent upon the success of Prince IChll koffs efforts.

The all-Important thing Is to keep the stomach right, and" to do this it Is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided. Prof. Wlechold gives pretty good advice on this subject. He says: "I am 63 years old and have never had a serious Illness, and at the same time my life haa been largely an Indoor one. but I early discov- I ered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a neaitny stomach, not by eating "bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on i the contrary I always eat what my ap i petite craves, but daily for the past eight J year I have made It a practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 1 after each meal, and I attribute my ro j bust liealth for a man of my age to the f regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets.
