49,, nearly completed, through the interven-

,,.naratons for the winter campaign proceed
,,nidIv The native newspapers in Kobe assert
cha, japan will refuse to receive any peace en-
vov from China and will not accept the prof
fered mediation
uosbington Nov 30.-Unofficial advices re-
,yod here say that the negotiations for peace
,a,ween China and Japan. with the United States
ministers at Peking and Toxic as the media of
communication, are proceeding satisfactorily.
Na,ther Minister will be permitted either by
tho United States Government or by Japan to
s,scfy the conditions on which China is willing
"a make peace 1t is their duty to bring the
,ro Nations together, and this being done. their
oscial connection with the matter ceases un-
oHciav however. each may be Of service in eX-
nedlting the work of peace
As previously Indicated in these dispatches. Mr..
nun the United States Minister at Toxic. has
lived In that city several years. lie has a fair
knowledge of the japanese language. and MS
nersonal relations with the Ministry are cordial.
He is Democrat. and was appointed originally
by President Arthur as Second Secretary of
legation Subsequently John NJ Swift. whom
President Harrison appointed Minister to Japan,
nromoted Mr. Dun to the First Secretaryship;
and upon the incoming Of he present Admin
,s,ration at the request of ex-senator Thurman.
Of Ohio. whose nephew he is. Mr.. Dun was made
Minister Mr. DENLY. the United states Minister
at Peking. has held that post ten successive
years and his relations with the Chinese GOV
eminent Of a nature quite as intimate as
those Of Mr.. Dun with japan.
The report that Great Britain purposes making
a great naval demonstration at Cnusan to-mor-
row falls flat in diplomatic circles 1t is argued
that the time has passed when Japan can De IN
euenced hv any movement OF that character.
II is plainly evident that Gustav Dieterling
was incontinently snubbed by Count Ito. the Jap
anese Minister of Foreign Affairs. Toxic dis-
piches say that ne was not permitted TO see the
Japanese Minister. and this report IS con1rmed
IN other quarters. He may have made overtures
Of peace u Count Ito indirectly, but TINS Is
doubted The impression here Is that MS ms
sion ended i'm fat failure. Some days ago the
Irniied Press dispatches exclusively stated that
Mr. Dieterling vas the personal representative
Of Ii Hung Chang. that the japanese Govern
nent would not regard him az possessing any
nlenarv movers and that no negotiations for
peace could be begun through him. but that these
must be conducted by officials OF mucn hlgner
rank than himself. Subsequent deveioplhcnts
fully sustain the correctness OF these 80
II is still asserted that the peace ENJOYS from
China Will be selected by the Yamen. ana VIII
no doubt consist OF members Of that BODY. COUNT
Ito IL is said will undoubtedly be one OF the
envoys on the part Of Japan, and 1t is not un-
likely that Okuma may be one OF his associates
Okuma has held in the past the portlonos o.
Finance and Foreign Affairs He Is a man Oh
brilliant parts and tried ability. He Is mem
her of the Opcesition. and his selection for TINS
important Office would not be only gratifying 10
the members OF that party. but would be grace
full compliment to a political opponent as we'll
