PEACE NEGOTIATIONS Have BEGUN
Initial Step Said to Have Been Taken By
President Roosevelt Some Time Ago
Russian governments Suggestion Of Possible Terms
Not Made Known

Washington, March 2s- Unofficial
advices were received tonight from
st. Petersburg announcing that Rus
sia has indicated at last the basis
on which she was willing to begin
peace negotiations with Japan, and
the announcement has attracted the
greatest interest In official quarters.
The news was given special atten.
ton because Of the declaration that
this step was taken by Russia as the
result of the good offices exercised
by the United States and France. RI
Nothing Of an official character has
yet been received at the state depart
ment or at the Japanese or Russian
embassies. The action Of the Russian
government, which is credited with
being the initial step toward the ar
rangement Of peace, was taken by
President Roosevelt about February

PURSUING ESCAPED coNvlcTs.
Posses of Armed Men With Trained

Posses of Armed Men With Trained
BleAihounds.
Houston, Tex, March 29.-Au day
and night armed men with trained
bloodhounds have been searching for
the Ttwenty-eight negro convicts who
made their escape Sunday night. So
far three of them have been caught
and there" are now eleven of the
bunch somewhere in or about Hous-
ton. Every road leading into the city
has been guarded closely. A farmer
picked up one Of them who was con-
cealed in the bushes. A justice Of
the peace got two more off a freight
train and the captured men reported
that there were eleven others on the
train when it reached the junction
where it switched into the Houston
belt line. Reports from the, bottoms
indicate that none of the konvicts
went that way, as the dogs have
failed to strike trail. but one posse
with bloodhounds started few of the
eonvicts toward Richmond. The
chase by the guards from the peniten-
tiary has been persistent one, but
there is SO much water in the small
streams that the bloodhounds have
often been at fault and have done
little real good.

NO LIQUORS TO BE SOLD.

Government Will Take Summary
Steps In Case Liquors Are Sold on
Lands Under Reclamation Act.
Washington, March 29.The regis
tiers and receivers Of the u. s. land
offices in Arizona, California, Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyom-
ing, today were Instructed by the COM
missioner of the general land Office to
notify all persons who have hereto
fore entered, or who may hereafter
enter, any of the lands which have
been segregated under the provisions
of the reclamation act of June II,
1902, that the leasing Of such lands or
portions thereof to other persons who
have been and are conducting the
business Of selling alcoholic liquors
on said lands, principally to the en-
ployes engaged on the government
works, that such leasing either by
themselves or others will be deemed
sufficient cause for the cancellation
of the entries embracing the lands so
used or occupied.
The officers of the land Offices are
further directed to give the widest
possible publicity to the fact that such
use of any land withdrawn under this
act, whether such lands have been en-
tered or are unoccupied, will be pre-
vented by proper actions in ejectment,
by Injunction, or otherwise.
These instructions have been called
forth by the deplorable conditions ex.
listing in Nevada, where the govern
ment work employs several thousand
men. Homesteaders have leased a
portion of their lands to persons en-
gagged in the liquor business. and
murder and robbery have been ramp
ant in consequence. The commits
s1oner's decision is likely to correct
these conditions, and will undoubted-
ly prevent their occurrence in other
sections wherein the government is
ABOUT to engage upon similar works.
