EASTERN WAR.
The United States NJ a Mediator Between
the Japs and China.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Japan has
replied to the proposition of the United
States to act as mediator between
Japan and China. The message gives
expression to the imperial good VIII
and says that the success OF the Japan
csc arms is such that China should APP
proach Japan directly. Minister Dun
adds as the opinion Of the Japanese
foreign office that as China has no
diplomatic representative at Toxic it
can submit proposition through Dun.
1t is probable that the United States
Minister Dun, Toxic, and DENLY
at Pekin, will be used as means of ne
gotiations 1t is believed that this
policy will receive the approval Of the
European powers.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 23.--Ap
authorization to Minister Dun at Toxic
and to DENLY at Pekin, to act as inter
mediaries in the peace negotiations
between China and Japan, in accord
ance with Japan's suggestion IN reply
to our governments note offering its
good offices, has been sent them. If
the offer of China to pay all the war
expenses and an indemnity of 100, 900, 900
taels turns out to be correct, it would
seem as though China has fastened to
take advantage of the offer. Japan's
war expenses are estimated at 100000
600 taels, which, with the indemnity
of 109, OO0, 900 offered, would amount to
S1T5 900, 900 in our money. 1t is be-
lieved Port Arthur would have fallen
before now but for the fact that the
japanese have been compelled to move
with extreme caution, owing to the
fact that for forty miles around the
ground is honeycombed with mines
which would blow invaders skyward.
The artillery is especially delayed,
| being unable to use reeds on account
of the mines.
