Tho rumured peace negotiations continue 10
attract general attention. and. in the absence Of
positive official information, tho reports are nee
esarlly vague and contradictory. A Washington
dispatch positively denies that General shcr-
man has entered into any peace negotiations, eN-
cept those involved in the ten dsys truce for the
removal Of the inh abtants u Atlanta. The tone Of
the Richmond press however, indicates that the
movement WINS regarded ~ highly important in
that c,v, and excited considerable apprehension.
The DlsrArcu has tie following significant article
on that subject;
