' Portsmouth. N. H.,.Aug. M. Japan to-
' day at the eleventh hour, whan the peace
" conference had' reached Ita logical and,
. prevented disruption by requesting an.
other meeting. 'and an adjournment ac
cordingly Was taken until Mkmday after--noonat.:M
O'clock. The Jpanese have
at least one more proposition to make
to Russia. . Its nature is closely guarded,
They are extremely, anxious to arrange
peace, are the Japanese, and I. have
food reasons for saying that they will
spare no pains to bring It ' about and
will even 'recede Jar behind their original
Unas If thereby they can induce Russia
to acres to terms.
This was their attitude last night, when
a high official attached to the ' Japaosse
suite hinted to me that Baron; Komura
had another card to play ana it is even
more so now, when to all. intents and
purposes the peace la at an end and It
lies wholly In the power of the Japanese
to-save- the situation ---- ' --,,-
- This was the state of affairs when the
envoys met at o'clock this, afternoon.
Russia had formerly declined to consider
the modified, demand of Japan to give
Sakhalin island in return for . the pay'
ment by Russia of reimbursement to
the amount of approximately S80O.OM.0M.

were wholly unprepared for any.further
