WAITING OH TWO CREDITOR POWERS
PRESIDENT MORALES HAS NOT

CIAL PLANS.
WAITING on TWO CREDITOR POWERS

Washington, March 30.-Secretary
Taft made no declarations during the
day about the alleged revolutionary
movement at Monte Cristi, Santo Do
mingo, but said that an American
agent was at that port collecting the
revenues and intimated ttat it was
not likely that this government would
allow any disturbance to interfere
with his duty. This refers to Com
mander Loper of the Detroit
1t is said at the department that
the next step in the execution of the
departments plans relative to San
Domingo cannot be taken until Presi-
dent Morales has formally concluded
the arrangement with the foreign
creditor powers, two of whom had not
acted. When the president has Sc
cured the necessary signatures to his
agreement and has so informed Wash
ington the secretary of war will at
once nominate to President Morales
the person who is to act as chief col
lector and perhaps the sub-collectors
at the minor ports, though 1t is pos
sible the designation of these will be
left to the chief collector.

GOVERNMENT NOW FOR PEACE.
But Russia Continues Preparations TO
Prosecute War.

st. Petersburg, March 30.-Russia' S
attitude was described during the day
by prominent diplomat as follows:
The government is now for peace,
but continues to prepare for war"
The whole situation with reference
to the prosecution of the war is being
carefully considered from every view
point by a commission sitting under
the presidency of Grand Duke Nicho-
las Nicholaieyitch, inspector general
of cavalry, and consisting of Minister
of War Sakharoff, Vice Admiral Avel
Ian, head of the Russian admiralty

REFORMS FOR POLAND.
Emperor Gives instructions to Gov.
ernor General of Warsaw.


st. Petersburg, March 30.--Emperor
Nicholas has instructed NJ. MaXimo-
witch, governor general of Warsaw, to
elaborate the reforms necessary for
the prosperity of Poland. In a re-
script to the governor general the en-
peror says:
"Since the radical revival of civil
life in the Vistula territory during the
past forty years a series of needs has
developed upon which the government
is now bestowing especial sohcitude.
Enemies of the existing order are
seeking to provoke disturbances, thus
hindering the calm discussion of the
reforms fos which the country is ripe
and at the same time some sections
of the Polish population are putting
forth exorbitant claims concerning
limits in the employment OF state
language to which there must remain
assured throughout the empire the
high importance due TO it, but without
any superfuous or unjust exclusion of
local languages"
The emperor accordingly directs the
governor general. while lawfully and
firmly suppressing artificially sup
ported disturbances, to proceed to
the elaboration of the reforms found
to be necessary for the prosperity OF
the territory inseparably connected
with the other parts of the Russian
state"

INDEMNITY or $500, 100000
Japan's Peace Terms Reported to Be
Very Rigorous.

Paris. March 30.-All the official in
formation relative to peace Is of a
negative nature. At the same time
the official view is now strongly opti-
mistic that peace is not far distant.
This view is not due to exact informa-
tion, but is the result of a settled con-
viction that peace is the only logical
outcome of Russia's present predica-
ment. However, the foreign Office re-
fuses to credit the various reports
that France is taking a hand in the
negotiations or preliminaries and spe-
cifcaliy denies the report from a
Northern capital that Russia has
asked Foreign Minister Delcasse to
act as intermediary.
1t is intimated in a high quarter
that ii makes no difference which ST.
Petersburg decides relative to asking
for peace as 1t will remain for Toxic
to accept or reject it, Therefore 1t is
maintained the peace situation has
shifted from st. Petersburg to Toxic,
which now holds the key to the peace
question.
Although official information is lack
ing it is asserted in well informed
quarters tat Js-an has nar"s'fisa

Subscriptions to the loan closed at

feature was the fact that considerable
applications were received from the
Continent, indicating a change of
views regarding Japan's financial sta
bility. 1t is said that large subscrip-
tons came from Germany.
The issuing banks estimate that the
loan has been oversubscribed at least
ten times. They think the foreign ap-
plications alone fully cover the whole
amount.

RUSSIA HAS INDIRECTLY MADE
KNOWN NEGATIVE CONDI-
TloNs FOR PEACE.
LUST Be NO CESSION OF TERRITORY
CZAR'S GOVERNMENT ALSO iNTi-
MATES THAT 1T WILL PAY
NO INDEMNITY.

ct. Petersburg, March 30-The AS
sociated Press is in a position to an
nounce that a step in the direction
of peace has been taken.
Russia has indirectly made known
to Japan the negative conditions upon
which peace may be concluded,
namely, no cession of territory and no
indemnity, leaving Japan to determine
whether negotiations can be begun
upon that basis.
No reply from Japan has yet
reached the Russian government.
The above represents practically all
the facts obtainable. Through what
channel or channels Russia has ind1-
Tectely communicated with Japan the
Associated Press is not in a position
to state definitely, although there is
reason to believe that it is through
the United States.
Russia avoids the attitude of suing
for peace or actually submitting pro-
posals and besides places the United
States and Great Britain and the pow
ers generally in position where they
could offer Japan advice as to the rea-
sonableness of the proposed basis.
Having been apprised of Russia's po-
sition Japan has two alternatives,
either to decline absolutely to open
negotiations on such a basis or indi-
cate her own attitude. If the negotia-
tions are opened Russia probably will
be prepared to make broad conces-
sions on collateral issues as stated
by the Associated Press

that Japan's indemnity figure is $780,

why the peace preliminaries do not
