does not name, observed a yacht or
schooner drop anchor in the harbor,
ana her coming was h>>iled with cries
of rejoicing Off the vessel came a
number Of small boats. The natives
could see the crew piling. what they
thought to be supplies, into smaller
crarf Then The men pulled for shore
During that night or next day there
was heard the ring Of arms, and later
on smoke and fire was observed This
led to an investigation from Petropau-
lovosk1 and other towns on the coast
and a horrible tale Of pillage and mas
s'tcre was brought to light.
About the streets of the settlement,
writes Oorogravelnoff, were strewn the
bodies Of $50 of the inhabitants, shot
and cut to pieces by the pirates, who
had gained friendship. Robbery was
their only motive, for every hut had
been ransacked, and anything of mar
ketable value was taken. Who the ma

ceDtlng that some japanese were in

PEACE ENJOYS.
President Awaiting Action Of BelIiaer
ents as to WhS They Will Be.

Washington. June 20 While the
progress of preliminary negotiations for
peace between the far eastern belIig-
crents IS necessarily slow. at this stage
of the proceedings it is known Presi-
dent Roosevelt hopes they practically

reconsider his original plan to go to

TO Worcester and Williamstown, Mass,
where he will go to attend commence
ment exercises of Clark university AMI
Williams college, he will return to
arriving here next Friday
morning. 1t Is expected that if nothing
unforeseen shall have occurred in the
meantime some definite announcement
of the status of negotiations may be
made soon after his return.
Final determination of the seat of
the conference having been reached, the
president, In common with the political
world, is awaiting the action of the
belligerent nations as to their peace en-
voys. With that part of the programme
the president has naturally nothing to
do. When selections have been made
the names of the ENJOYS of the respec-
tive governments will be communicated
to the president. BY him they, in turn,
will be communicated to the govern
ments Interested and formally an
nounced to the world. 1t is thought
that arrangements for the conference
may proceed with such facility as to
avert general engagement in Manchu-
ria between the forces of Generals
Linevitch and Oyama. The precipita-
ton of a great battle at the present
stage of tthe peace negotiations would
be regarded here as a most unfortunate
error of judgment. an error which
might imperil seriously the negotiations
for the conference.
