Ilowever, in view of the continued reports that there were indications that Minister Deleasse and Dr. Motono were t. an active part in the negotiations rln, correspondent of the Associated Press called at the Japanese legation aud requested Dr. Motono to furnish a de- cisive statement which wonld vut af rest all misunderstanding: Japar;ese Minister’s Statement. Accordingly Dr.. Motono gave the Associated Press the following cate- gorical statement, which was taken in writing ‘and may be accepted as authoritatively clearing: the situation: *I tell you explicitly that there are for initiating peace negotiations in progress at this time so far as I am aware and I believe my information to be complete. I am not desirous of discussing the general question of peace for, owing to the complete ab- sence of negotiations or preliminaries towards negotiations, that question! can only be academic and without| practical bearing. “The statements that I have con- ferred with M. Delcasse at his resi- dence are false and are calculated to confuse & situation which Is perfectly plain. There is no representative of Japan authorized at this time to dis- cuss peace or foreshadow in the least what conditions the Japanese govern- ment’ might not consider if the nego- tiations assumed a practical stage. On the contrary Japan iS now engaged in conducting a military campaign and she will resolutely proceed with that impertant work.” IN INTEREST OF PEACE.

St. Petersburg, April 1.—The das‘s newspapers are so significantly silent about the peace reports from abroad that: it leads' to the inference that they have been warned by the gov- ernment of the i)iadvlsability of air- ing iheir views at this time.

TERRORIST ACTIVITY. Ruwsian Police Fear Another Tragedy Any. Moment. St. Petersburg, April 1-—The au- thorities continue to find evidence ol terrorist activity in St. Petersburg and in spite of the precautions of the { police another tragedy may occur at any moment. The fighting organiza- tion is known to have on ifs con- demned list thirty persons, headed by Grand Duke ‘Alexis and Governor Gen- eral Trepoft, but the police. although they arrested .several persons with bombs In their possession and have taken mauy -suspects into custody, have been completely bafled in their efforts to discover the invisible hand which is directing the campaign of the, terrotists. . The polica theory con- tinnes to be {hat the central Orgami- zations of those engaged in the con- spiracies are at Geneva and in Paris and that the men arrested in Russia are agents selected to execute the. sentences. When arrested these agents invariably are true to their oaths and refuse to divulge anything, no matter to what ordeal they are subjected. The police have instructed all lodg- inghouses to provide themselves with dnplicate keys of all rooms, drawers amd closets in order that the effects of suspects may be freely searched.

Portland, Ore., April 1.—M, Ver- shinin, former civil governor of Port Arthur, who is en route to Russia, speaks in the highest terms of the He does not, how- ever, attribute their indomitable per- severance in battle so much to bravery as to a lack of feeling, He cites as an illustration that in battle the Japa- nese repeatedly charged over thou- sands of bodies of their dead com- rades and witnessed the death of rel- atives and friends without apparently losing nerve in the slightest degree. This, M. Vershinin says, is an impos- sibility for any European race. M. Vershinin recounted the experi- ences of the Russian garrison at Port Arthur during the siege, where for four months an increasing bombard- ment both night and day wore those iu Port Arthur almost to distraction. He remarked the horrible precision of the Japanese artillery, saying that the Japanese seemed familiar with every part of the fortress and placed shells wherever they seemed to desire with thie most terrible effect.

It was learned, however, that the prospects of peace were discussed at length. OBLIGATION ONLY MORAL.
