NEGOTIATING
FOR PEACE
1t Has Taken a Tentative FERN
and Formally Discussed by
Unofficial Conference.
RUSSIA is WILL ING
But japanese Government Must Be As.
sured That the Proposition is
Made in Good Faith.

Paris, March 25.-It is said in circles
having excellent means of information
that the Russian steps towards peace
have already been taken tentative
form at the private conference held re
Gently at one of the small capitals OF
northern Europe. The purpose of this
appears to have been to bring together
personages representing both sides
neither having credentials to discuss
formal terms of peace, but to formally
examine what each side expects and
what tentative basis seemed possible,
the nature of this exchange does not
warrant it's being considered as a
definite peace movement, but it Is un-
derstood to have given each side an op.
portunity to Judge the view of the
other and it has clearly shown the
Russian disposition towards peace.
Russia Has to "show" the Japs.
Washington, March 25.-When the
dispatch from st. Petersburg regard
ing peace was shown a diplomat today,
on whose authority the Associated
Press twelve days ago announced from
Washington that the Russian emperor
knew the general terms on which ia
pan would conclude peace, he said:
"The source of my original informa-
ton on this subject was a high one,
but it is gratifying to receive this
confirmation. European powers, nota-
bly, France, have for some time been
endeavoring to find out on what terms
Japan would accept peace. These
have been ascertained in general
way and communicated to st. Peters
burg. The reasons for Japanese reti-
cence regarding the opening of peace
negotiations are not due, so far as
can learn, to desire to continue the
war, but because the Toxic govern
ment wishes to be certain that Russia
is proceeding to peace negotiations In
good faith and is not playing for time,
as she did in the negotiations prior to
the war"
Russian Trade Depends on Peace.
Paris, March 25.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Matin reports an
interview with M. Lebanon, the mayor
of st. Petersburg. The mayor declared
that the future of Russia depended up
on the arrangement of peace and the
suppression of internal disorders. He
said it was impossible to continue the
war as the Siberian Railway
was no longer in a condition to be used
for the transportation OF the necessary
men and material. He added that Rus.
sian men of business could not trade
in the present condition Of the coun-
try.

PUEBLos AND THEIR TROUBLES.
Attorney Abbott Who Gives Them
Good Advice.

Several Indians from the Pueblo Of
Santo Domingo, were in the city yester.
day for legal advice. They are exempt
from taxation on property and thought
that this exemption relieved them of
any duties in regard to the labor on
constructing dykes and embankments
for the protection of property. Judge
Abbott informed them that under the
law they are required to do the work
when called upon by the proper au.
thorities. There were also delegations
from the Puebos of Pojoaque and
Nambe seeking information in regard
to a privilege granted the Santa Fe
Electric Light and Power Company by
the Department of the Interior to use
the water of the Nambe River for pow
er. In the order making the reserva'
ton in favor of the Water Company,
it is explicitly provided that the priv
ilege to use the water for power pur-
poses is subject to the prior right Of
the Indians to use it for irrigation pur-s
poses. The Judge informed the In
dians that they were fully protected by
the Interior Department.

BOLD ROBBERY
IN DUKE CITY.

Yesterday afternoon the house of
Don J. Rankin, in Albuquerque, was
entered by bold robber The man
watched his chance and when he saw
that the house was empty, he gained
admission through a window and sue
ceeded in securing some valuable jew
elry and some cold refreshments.
while entering the house through the
window he was approached by man
named Como who lives at the Rankin
house. The thief did not appear to be
in the least disturbed by the advent
of this man, but called out cheerful
ly, There's just been burglary here
and Mrs. Rankin has just driven down
town for the police and asked me to
stay here until she came back" Como
evidently took the man for honest and
proceeded on his way. The family did
not return until half an hour after the
robbery, when they notified the police.
A suspect is now under surveillance,
and it is thought that the thief will
be captured today.
