Opan Willing to Make Terms Said to
Be Reasonable.
Toxic, JAN 4.-Some of the foreign
diplomats here believe that there will
be an early renewal of efforts looking
to the securing of peace. OutWardly
the japanese government gives no in
dications of it's desires in that direc-
ton, but it is known that it is pre-
pared to discuss the question and to
make terms which are characterized
as reasonable.
Those who predict movement for
peace declare that the Japanese en-
peror's commentator OF General
Stoessel and the determination of the
Japanese to give honorable terms to
the surrendered garrison will soften
the blow to Russia and create an open
ing for the discussion of peace.
The United States. Great Britain
and France are named as possible di.
rect or indirect Intermediates, though
1t is not improbable that Japan will
breach the subject directly.
The fall of Port Arthur immensely
strengthens the hand Of Japan. In the
actual conduct of the war Port Arthur
has been a stumbling block to Japan,
which for six months has had engaged
there over 100000 troops and prac.
tically her entire navy. This fact COM
