NEITHER BELLIGERENT
IS READY FOR PEACE.

Washington, June 3O.-While the of
icials here are satisfied from their
private advices that the recent visit
of King Edward to his nephew, EN-
peror William, was not brought about
by a purpose to initiate a movement
toward the restoration of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan, there is rea-
son to believe that some very care
full, and discreet inquiries as to the
opportunities of some such overtures
at this time have emanated from
Washington.
1t may be stated that the result has
been to disclose the fact that neither
of the belligerent powers is yet in
humor to sue for peace nor even to
entertain overtures from any third
power on that subject.
1t cannot be said that the situation
is sensibly changed from what it was
a month ago, saving the fact that
there is a more optimistic feeling in
Official quarters that there will soon be
an opening for diplomacy to exercise
its peaceful methods in the Far East
ern struggle.

SAYS KUR0PATKlN
WILL WITHDRAW.

Berlin, July 1.-The Ia Tche Kiao
correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger,
in a dispatch, dated June 3d. 2;40 p. m,
says he has had an interview with Gen.
Kuropatkin regarding the military sit
uation, and declares that the Russian
general has decided to withdraw to Hal
Cheng.
Gen. Kuropatkin, the correspondent
says, left the First Siberian Army
Corps and the Thirty-fifth division at
Kai-Chau to protect his retreat. Head
quarters are already established at
Hai-Cheng. The Second and Fourth
Army Corps and the Thirty-first di-
vision are south of Hai-Cheng, the
Ninth and Seventeenth divisions are
south of LAO Yang, and the Fifth
division and Mai. Gen. Miscellaneous
European Cossack brigades are detach-
ed. The Seventeenth Army Corps is
expected to arrive soon at Lao Yang.
Heavy rains delay the movements of
the troops.
Gen. Mistchenko's forces have daily
engagements with the Japanese.
The Lokal Anzeiger editorially ex-
presses doubt that the Seventeenth
Army Corps will reach Lao Yang be-
fore August.
