RUSSIA NOT FOR PEACE.
Car Determined to Prosecute War to Successful End
and Dictate Terms to His Fallen Foe
Naval Battle Looked For.

So. Petersburg, April Pet Is de-
clared here that Russia will under no
circumstances accept the mediation OF
any foreign power in ending the war
with Japan. The recent talk OF media
ton in the Russo-Japanese war was
founded upon the personal desires OF
King Edward and King Christian OF
Denmark to avoid further bloodsheed
and end the conflict, but the steps
initiated have utterly failed.
The emperor. with the full concur
renee OF the imperial family and his
advisers, has firmly decided not only
TO reject all proposals looking to In
tervention but TO prosecute the war
with all the resources OF the empire
until victory crowns the Russian
arms, and then, when the time comes
for peace, to make terms directly with
the enemy. The interference or out
side powers will not be tolerated
There is to be no repetition OF the Ber-
lin congress.
Furthermore. IL is stated that Rus
STA will In nowise consider herself
bound by the proposition made to ia
pan prior TO the war The hostilities
have wiped out the engagements Rus
STA offered to make with Japan REGARD
Ing Corea and Manchuria. Russia viii
