She Presents Very OnerOus COnditions OF
Peace with China.
YOKOHAMA, Dec. 4.-According to the
semi-otficial press Japan has decided
to insist upon heavy conditions of
peace, which win be increased as the
war Is prolonged. If the war Is con-
cluded at the present time, Japan will
accept an indemnity of $500, OO0, 0Oo and
the cession of the territory now oeeu-
pied by her forces. Too much weight
should not be attached to the Chinese
overtures for peace, for it is believed
that Japan will be required to give
her enemy further proof of the power
of japan in order that the Chinese peo-
pie may learn that their government
sued for peace.
