OH, PALL|D PEACE
Witte Reaches Ports
mouth. Dolphin Comes,
But Here These Sinister Words of the
Envoy: Cable That Russia Must
Be Prepared to Continue
War.
(By the Associated Press. }

Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. There
was great disappointment in this city
today over the delay in the arrival OF
the Russian and Japanese peace en-
voys. The news of the poStponemenl
of the functions had not reached many
of the citizens of Portsmouth and its
envirOns Consequently this section OF
New Hampshire was astir early, and
by s o'clock every electric line from
the country was bringing many sight
seers. When the fact of the postpone
ment became generally known there
were many expressions of disappoint-
ment, but upon the circulation of ru-
mors of the possible arrival of the
ships most of the crowd decided to
ahve a holiday anyway. The opera
tors in the wireless station had very
busy day today to pick up the Dolphin,
which has the Japanese ENJOYS on
board.
Tonight an answer to the numerous
calls was received stating that at dark
the Dolphin was off Cape Cod, seventy
five miles away. She was steaming
slowly and those on board thought the
cruiser would reach the harbor about
8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Mr.. White arrived in this city to-
night from Boston at 11:15 O'Clock,
coming in a special car attached to the
regular Bar Harbor Express He was
enabled to avoid a crowd of several
hundred people assembled at the rail-
road station through the train stop
ping at crossing about quarter OF
a mile from the depot. Mr.. White was
taken to the Wentworth in an automo.
bile.
In connection with the above cor
respondent of the New York Ameri-
can has wired his paper:
Gable your paper that Russia must
be prepared to continue the war"
This is the message of M. White,
senior peace envoy from the Gar, to
his fellow countrymen on the eve OF
the opening of the peace conference
here.
Not only does it express the view of
M Witte but it accurately presents
the opinion of Baron Rosen, M. W.tte's
colleague, as to the outcome of the
meeting with Japan's plenipotentiaries
Moreover. it was uttered last Fri
day night on the return of M. WHITE
from his informal visit to President
Roosevelt, with whom he may be pre-
sumed to have discussed the peace
terms of Japan in a general way
The statement was made to the cor
respondent of a RuSsFian newspaper
published in st. Petersburg, who en-
joyed close relations with both WHITE
and Rosen, and the correspondent has
already cabled the message to his pa
per, though he refrained from men
tioning the name of the "high official
from whom he secured the statement
The correspondent called on M
White at the st. Regis on Friday night
and was received IN his apartments
Baron Roseii was present, and NJ
White was in a dependent frame OF
mind. The correspondent asked fol
IN opinion rs to the outlook. M. White
said:
II talked for an hour with the Pres
ident. We had much to say to each
other"
and what may / say as to the pros
pect?" asker the correspondent.
