Japan and Russia announced definitely toeday that they accepted President Roosevelt’s peace proposal, and would each appoint representatives to agree on terms for ending the war. The Peace Conference will be held in Wash- ington, F (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 10.—From an authorita- tive official source it is learned to-day that it has been practically determined that the plenipoten- ,tlaries of Japan and Russia for the determination Sof’ peace terms will hold their sessions in Wash- ington. Inasmuch as the efforts which have been successful in the bringing of the two belligerent Governments into contact were initiated by Presi- dent Roosevelt, and, further, that most amicable relations exist between the United States and both Russia and Japan, this city is regarded as the logical place for the institution of the practical peace negotiations between the warring Governments, For obvious reasons London, it was pointed out; would be out of the question, and for similar reasons Paris would not be considered, Objections to the holding of the conference in Berlin also have been made, Vienna was suggested as a desirable place, but under all the circum- stances Washington was deemed by both St. Petersburg and Tokio to be the most favorable place for the holding of the peace conference, TOKIO, June 10—6 P, M.—Japan has agreed to Presi¢-~+ Roose- velt’s suggestion to appoint plenipotentiaries to meet Russian plenipoten- tiaries. After acknowledging the receipt of President Roosevelt's letter Min- ister of Foreign Affairs Komura, in a note to Mr. Griscom, the American Minister, says the: Imperial Government has given the suggestion of President Roosevelt the serious consideration to which, coming from that important source, it is justly entitled, Minister Komura’s note says that Japan, in the interest of the world \ | as well as that of Japan, is willing to re-establish peace with Russla on terms and conditions that will fully guarantee the stability of the Im- perial Government, Therefore Japan will, in response to the suggestion of President Roosevelt, appoint plenipotentiaries to meet the plenipotentiaries of Russia, at such time and place as may be found equally agreeable and convenient, for the purpose of negotiating and concluding terms of peace _ Girectly and exclusively between the two belligerent powers, ST. PETERSBURG, June 10,—It was stated at the Foreign Office this afternoon that Russia is ready to appoint representatives to hear the , Japanese proposals, on being informed that Japan {s nominating repre- ‘sentatives for this purpose. Practically, although not formally, an armistice can now be said to exist. Russla awaits Japan's notification, the name of her plenipotentiary and the place of meeting, as upon the place will depend the appointment of Russia's representative, Wit the naming of the plenipotentiaries a limited suspension of hos- tilities will be formally declared, | From the conversation of an official of the Foreign Office the Asso- ‘diated Préss is not certain whether Russla will send a formal reply to President Roosevelt's appeal, the Emperor's assurance to Ambassador Meyer of his willingness to negotiate being deemed sufficiently official, __» “We cannot select our plenipotentiary,” the official said, “until Japan has indicated the place for the negotiations, In order to avoid delay if “Washington Is selected Count Cassini, or possibly Baron Rosen, if he Gould arrive in time, may act for Russia, “4 Manchuria is selected Gen, Linevitch may be the representative of, Russia, but it does not necessarily follow that either of them would gonduct the negotiations to the end, as the first question to be determined ds whether a basis is possible on the Japanese terms, _ ‘Mf they are considered to afford a basis for the conclusion of peace a regular set of plenipotentiaries may be appointed and the negotiations May proceed in the customary way.” '. <The official with whom the correspondent of the Assoclated Press talked was by no means sanguine that Japan could offer an acceptable mi negotiations, \ oN NEW YORK, JUNE 50, 1905, CLEVELAND IS | ee Pnomonovonononene-d) JAPANESE PEACE TERMS.

On June 8 the following despatch was sent by the President, through diplomatic channels, to the Japanese and Russian Governments: “The President feels that the time has come when, in the interest of all mankind, he must endeavor to see !f it 1s not possible to bring to an end the terrible and lamentable confilct now being waged, “With both Russia and Japan the United States has inherent ties of friendship and good will, It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each, and it feela that the progress of the world is set:pack by the war between these two great nations, “The President accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese Govern- ments, not only for their own sakes, but in the interests of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace with one another, “The President suggests that these peace negotiations be conducted directly and exclusively between the belligerents; in other words, that there may be a meeting of Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries or delegates without intermediary, in order to see {If it is not possible for these representatives of the two powers to agree on terms of peace. “The President earnestly asks that the (Russian or Japanese, accord- ing to address) Government do now agree to such a meeting, und {8 ask- ing the (Japanese or Russian) Government likewise to agree. “while the President does not feel that any intermediary should te called in in respect to the peace negotiations themselves, he is entirely willing to do what he properly can if the two powers concerned feel that his services will be of any ald in arranging the preliminaries as to the time and place of meeting. “But if even these preliminaries can be arranged directly between the two powers or in any other way the President will be glad, as his sole purpoee is to bring about a meeting which the whole civilized world vill pray may result in peace.” in President Roosevelt’s note endeavoring to bring Japan and Russia to an understanding, While the British Government is not taking any part in the negotia- tions, it is giving the most cordial support to the President, of whose ac tions in the matter it has been kept fully informed, Japan, it can be stated, refused to start the negotiations until fully assured of the earnestness of Russia, and that her proposals would be seri- ously considered, E Her demands will include an indemnity, the amount of which has been fixed by the Japanese Government, and on this point the President is urging lenient treatment. It is considered here that Japan is entitled to an indemnity, and it is pointed out that while the payment of an indemnity might affect the standing of Russia among the Powers, it is not so serious as the loss of territory; beside, the payment of an indemnity would be forgotten sooner than the loss of territory and would leave no feeling for revenge. Financial circles in London are of the opinion that the Japanese will demand an Indemnity amounting to about $1,000,000,000, that being thoir estimate of the cost to the Japa neseof the sixteen months’ fighting. This is considered in some quarters to be too large an estimate of the expenditure, which is thought to be nearer $600,000,000. Diplomatic circles in London are closely concerned about the present movement and are of the opinion that the plenipotentiaries will meet in Washington, Baron Rosen (who is to succeed Count Cassini as Russian Ambassa~ or to the United States) probably representing Russia. It is also understood that Russia now admits in principle that the demand for an indemnity is justified. It is suggested that ths terms of Japan will probably also Include the acknowledgment of a Japanese pro- tectorate over Corea, the total Russian evacuation of Manchuria, the handing over of Russian interests on the Liaotung Peninsula and at Port Arthur to Japan, and the cession of the railroad from Port Arthur to Harbin. The question of the Island of Sakhalin will also be raised. It is thought that the amount of the indemnity which will be de- manded by Japan will depend in some measure on other conditions, If these are considered to be such as will insure a durable peace th- indem- nity will be less than it otherwise would, paren = + 4 ——___—__— Armistice Next Step.
