crop approached or surpassed that

On August "a it was reported
that Japan's indemnity demand
was six hundred millions and that
Russia absolutely refused to pay.
President Roosevelt took a promi-
nent part in the discussion, it ap-
peared, and he had numerous con-
ferences with the peace ENJOYS, be-
sides being in direct communica-
ton with the Gear.
The indemnity was finally waiv-
ed by Japan, on August % after
an adjournment of the meeting for
some days. The Gear on August
26 issued an ultimatum. He de-
clared that there would be no agree
ment by Russia to pay an indemni-
ty and that Russia would not
agree, as far as Saghalien was con-
cerned, to anything more than a
division of the island. Unless ia.
pan had proposals to make in line
with these ideas, it was stated, the
peace conference would adjourn
and war would be resumed.
Japan's reply was a sweeping
modification of her terms. She
waived the indemnity and agreed
! to accept a cession OF North Sag
halien instead of the whole island
at the same time leaving the ques
ton of price to be paid for it tc
tarbitration This offer which ap
pears to be great victory for the
Russian ENJOYS, was quickly fol
lowed today by news that the com
missioners has agreed all along the
line, and that peace was practical
ly declared.

enough to take away the world s

and the Korean protectorate, Ja-

which will guarantee Japan's
future establishment. The intern

"And Japan knows what she's

policy in that as in everything
else. 1t looks genero ous."

HONOLULU, Aug. Z9.-Ihe
peace ENJOYS met in Portsmouth
on August 9th,, devoting their
first day to settlement of the
method of procedure. On the tenth
the japanese representatives hand
ed to the Russians a statement of
the terms proposed by the Toxic
government. These included the
evacuation of Manchuria, cession
of Saghalien and Port Arthur,
Japanese to be dominant in Korea,
payment of an indemnity by Rus
sia, retention by Japan of Russian
war vessels interned in various
neutral ports, fishing rights for
japanese subjects on the Siberian
coasts and limitation of Russia's
future naval strength in waters of
the Far East.
The terms were regarded as so
severe that the outlook for peace
was declared to be very bad, after
the first few days of discussion.
Russia especially objected to the
payment of an indemnity or the
cession of Saghalien, while conced-
ing Japan's contentious as to Man
churia, Korea and the Liaotung
peninsula. The consideration of the
points of disagreement was post
poned, and the ENJOYS proceeded to
take up the propositions on which
they were nearer agreement, leav-
ing Saghalien and the indemnity
for later discussion.
The agreement on the various
articles was quite rapid as the con-
ference proceeded from day to day,
but the commissioners postponed
the indemnity proposition, and
there were gloomy predictions that
if Japan insisted upon it war would
beresumed. These two propositions
tions and the taking of irterned
by Japan were the crucial ques-
tions of the conference, and Russia
gained much ground in these
matters, as the discussion proceed
/
ed.
On August q President Roose-
Welt proposed that the questions OF
Indemnity and Saghalien be sub
mitted to arbitration, as it appear
ed that the peace ENJOYS could not
come to terms, st. Petersburg adj
vices were to the effect that there
was no chance of peace unless Ja'
pan withdrew her claim of an in
demnity and cession of Saghalien
Russia was more ready to let ia
pan have the interned war vessels
| than to agree to limit her nava
power in Eastern waters. Nj. d.
Witte, according to st. Petersburg
dispatches, was at this time definite
| ly instructed not to concede either
an indemnity nor Saghalien. Al
a new scheme it was suggested tha
Russia purchase Saghalien, thu
pay an indemnity in disguised
way. The negotiations took a NOR
favorable turn and on August 2
protocols were signed.

INDEMNITY CLAUSE A BLUFF

HONOLULU, Aug. 3d. Japan
has gained what she wanted most
In the peace terms, in the opinion
of Hon. Caleb w. West, ex-Gov-
ernor of Utah, who left for the
mainland on the Alameda today.
According to Mr.. West, the enor-
nous indem nifty asked by Japan
and refused by Russia has drawn
the attention of most people away
from the great victory Japan has
gained by establishing herself be-
yound dispute in the Orient-which
is what Japan wants. This can
not be measured in money value,
thinks Mr.. West, and beside its
significance billion dollars is
little.
Mr.. West, or Governor" as he
is already known to many Homo
luluans, is a special treasury a.
gent and has been in Honolulu
in company with Judge Burton
Parker making an examination
of the local customs service.
Japan really has gained hel
ends from the peace conference,
said Mr., West. "Stop to think
for a moment that she controls
Korea, and Manchuria largely
and you will see that she has got
ton what she really fought for

ACTIVE VOLCANO IN SAVAII,
SAMOA

HONOLULU, Aug. 30.-News
of an active volcano in Savaii, one
of the Samoan Islands, was re-
ceived here today by the German
cruiser Condor, which arrived
from Samoa this morning. Ac-
ording to Lieut.. Ludwig Fischer
of the Condor, the volcano at Sa-
vail is spouting smoke, flames and
burning lava beautifully, but
as yet no damage is done to either
life or property.
About August 8 the eruption
occurred on one of the higher
mountains. 1t lasted several days
altogether, and during this time
thick clouds of smoke almost OBJ
scured the mountain from view.
At night the red glare from the era
ter was easily discernible, Luckily,
the mountain was so high that the
lava streams did not reach down
into the valleys and destroy the
crops or drive people from their
homes.
