Most Complete.

VIENNA, Dec. 13.-The Neues Weiner
Tageblatt learns that all the European
ministers in Peking have received final
instructions from their governments so
that beginning of peace negotiations

expected. 1t was learned from the best
source that the powers constituting the
triple alliance which, at the beginning,
were strongly opposed to the American
policy, have now requested their minis
tiers to limit, as far as possible, all mat.
tiers of formality in the peace negotia-

some comment, it was dismissed by the
