Since he made his direct appeal to
Emperor Nicholas President Roosevelt
has been awaiting developments, hopeful
that such efforts as he has felt proper
to make to avert a failure OF the Wash

Yesterday those developments began to
appear. a report from Ambassador Mey-

adyices from Portsmouth reached the
president. They were regarded as 50
urgent that as soon as they were re-
ceived ia the executive offices in the
village they were. carried to Sycamore
Hill by trusted executive clerk. The
utmost secrecy il manifested regarding
the communications.
It is quite certain now that in addi5
tion to making a direct appeal to the
Russian emperor to take such measures
as may bring the pending negotiations
to a successful issue. President Roose-
Welt has communicated with the Japan
ese government along similar lines,
Whether that appeal was made directly
to the emperor Of Japan, as in the case
of Emperor Nicholas, cannot be aseer-
tained, as no official confirmation is Civ.

Komura and Takahira Unwilling Z
Waive Demands.


Portsmouth, Aug 25. According to
competent Japanese authority Baron
Koniura and Bir. Takahira are opposed
"a the waiying of Japan's demand for re-
imbursement Of war expenses.
SIN conference, the Japanese eonten-
tion was that, in conceding the ante
bellum demands of Japan, Russia adj
mitted either that she was beaten or
that her attitude before the war vas
uniustified. In either case, Japan holds
that Russia should pay the cost of the
war. Japan feels that Russian talk 81
saving her face is hardly reasonable
claiming that her face was lost when
Sic conceded the ante-belium demands
which constituted the real casus belli.
Advices received by the Japanese mis-
sion from home say that the japanese
public opinion Is not only bitterly op-
posed Is further concessions, but favored
even harsher terms than those originally
presented. The Japanese people feel
and their feelings, it is said, will bt
respected by the government, that K
weaken now would mean that Japal
must reopen the war in decade.
