B1TTLE NOT DECISIVE.
Outlook for Peace Depends on Port
Arthar, Says Baron Havashi.

London, Oct. 13.-News OF the battle between
the Russians and japanese was eagerly awaited
here throughout the day at the japanese Lega-
tion. Many inquiries made there by Brit
ish officials but the japanese authorities were
even less informed than the newspapers The
suspense was not untinged with anxiety. which
was more noticeable than at almost any pre-
vious phase of the war. Baron Hayashi. the
japanese Minister. said 20 The Associated Press:
Until Port Arthur falls any proposal looking
70 peace must be futile Defeat or victory to the
RUSSIAN Manchurian army armies merely
swells the daily death roll. Kuropatkin driven
back and utterly defeated would simply harden
Russia's heart. kuropatkin temporarily sue
eessful would only inspire new enthusiasm In
such seesaw there is no hope of peace Port

Port Arthur can outlast / have not the least
idea. Hot weather Is an advantage 10 the de-
Tenders From the intense heat and consequent
sanitary disadvantages the japanese could not
get away. Against the cold now coming they
can take the necessary precautions and suffer
