JAPAN IS NO SUITOR.
China Reminded She is the
One Suing for Peace.
CHINA's TEMPoRIzING POLICY.

No Further Peace Proposals Will be
Considered Unless Sent by Regu-
larry Accredited Ambassador From
the Chinese Court.
Toxic, December 8.--Japan has noti-
fed China that no further peace pro-
posals will be considered unless sent by
regularly accredited Ambassador from
the Chinese court. At the same time
Japan reminds China that it is not Ja-
pan that is suing for peace. Japan is
dissatisfied with China's temporizing
policy, and claims that China is seeking
concessions in advance OF formal con-
ference looking to a settlement.
WHAT JAPAN WOULD ACCEPT.
WASHINGTON, December 8.-The an
nouncement that Japan was willing to
accept an indemnity OF 400, ,000, 900 yen
and the cession OF territory now occupied
by her forces as a condition for the termi-
nation OF the war without further delay,
and that the demands were to be in
creased il hostilities were prolonged, is
similar to those that have appeared in
the Japanese newspapers for some time
past. Such statements are regarded
here as merely the opinions of the
writers as to what Japan should insist
upon. The authentic news now a. hand
shows that the negotiations have pro-
gressed no further than an insistence by
Japan upon the condition that the Chi
nese government shall send an Ambas-
sador TO Toxic TO make its overtures,
and this information is credited by the
officials OF the Japanese legation here
who have been Of the opinion for some
time past that the appointment OF Chi
nese Ambassador TO sue for peace woulc
probably be the first move in that direc'
tion which would be acceptable to the
Japanese government and people.
STILL EXPLAINING DETRING's FAILURE
| WAsHiNGToN, December 8.-A tele
gram has been received in this city iron
Kobe to the effect that Mr.. Detring
Commissioner in the Chinese customs
service at Tien Tsin, arrived at tina
place November 26 and expressed th'
wish OF personally delivering to Coun
Ito letter from Viceroy LII Hung Chang
AS under the circumstances this pro
ceeding was considered anomalous ant
contrary to usage, Count Ito refused l.
meet Detring. At the same time Mr.
J Detring received telegraphic orders from
Prince Kung, President OF Tsung LII va
men, recalling him TO China. Accord
ingly he left Kobe November 20, but be
| fore going he sent the Viceroy's letter t
Count Ito by post. The object of tn
letter was to ascertain the condition
upon which peace might be restored.
is also stated that Ii Hung Chang ha
obtained the sanction OF the Emperor G
China to the mission OF Mr.. Detrine
which had for its object the purpose {
confidentially ascertaining the views {
the Japanese government, but Mr.. Del
rings sudden return to China under ol
ders OF the President of the Tsung !
Yamen appears to throw some douh
upon the accuracy OF this statement.
THE OTHER VIEW.
LONDON, December 8.--According
adyices received from an excellent al
thority upon the subject OF the negotii
tions for peace between China and il
pan the negotiations are not making {
rapid strides as supposed. 1t seems thi
Japan intends to insist upon strong,
and more tangible proofs Of China's sui
mission before talking peace.
