hour At which the cable advicee from
London were received in this city to-
night, indicating At least Q cessation of
hostilitiee in the field between the gov
ernments Of China and Japan, precluded
. very thorough canvass in diplomatic
quarters az to the tenor OF the advices
received by the officials OF the foreign
governments. While some of the Am.
bassadore were courteously willing to be
interviewed az to information received
by them. no one could say that the latest
advices in their possession would lead to
hopes Of . very early peace between
China and Japan. Direct questions as
to the subject matter OF any advices thew
had to-day were evasively met, but the
reticence was not 80 complete as to in
any particular lessen the importance of
the London dispatch, showing the near
ness Of q peaceful solution OF the ques-
tions between the contending powers.
