Treaty Of Peace Is

War Between Russia and
Japan Officially Ends
State Department at Washington Is
Notified That Each of These Rulers
Has Accomplished the Inn
portant Act
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-The empe-
ror of Russia and the emperor of Japan
today signed their respective copies
of the peace treaty, thus officially end
ing the war.
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassa-
dor, called at the state department and
saw Secretary Root. While he had no
official advices on the subject, infor-
nation had reached him to the effect
that the emperor of Russia had early
III the day affixed his signature to the
copy of the treaty drawn at Ports
mouth and engrossed Dn vellum at St.
Petersburg. 1t was not necessary for
the ambassador to convey this infor-
nation officially to the state depart
ment for, according to the plan ar
ranged yesterday the Russian foreign
office was to advise the French gov
ernment Of the act Of signature and
tiat government in turn to advise the
Japanese government.
A. few minutes after noon Minister
Takahira appeared at the state depart
ment with message stating that the
emperor of Japan had signed the treaty
at Toxic, A cablegram was imme-
diately sent to Spencer Eddy, charge
of the American embassy at st. Pc
tersburg, who was instructed to in
form the Russian foreign office that
the emperor of Japan had performed
his part, and so these copies of the
treaty having been duly signed and
each of the great nations lately en-
gagged in hostilities having been Off
cially informed Of the fact, the Russo
Japanese war, which began February
s, 1904, with the attack by Togo's fleet
on the Russian ships at Port Arthur,
terminated officially today, October a. D.
Little remains to be done to meet the
official requirements. At a later date,
probably in the course Of a month or
two, copies of the treaty will be act
ually exchanged, probably in Wash
Ington, by the Russian ambassador and
the Japanese minister or charge, for 1t
is possible that Minister Takahira will
before that occurrence have gone to
Japan on leave of absence. There Is
nothing for this government to do in
the way of proclamation.
The Aurora, Jemtchug and the Oleg,
constituting Admiral Enquist's squad
ron at Manila, and the Lena at Mare
Island. which have been iuterned for
months, may probably now be released
whenever the Russian government sees
fit to make the request, though, as it Is
understood. the ships have been un-
dergoing extensive repairs to make
them seaworthy, 1t may be some time
yet before they are ready to sail.

CUBANS DISSATISFIED
Proposed Treaty With England Looks
to Them Too one-
Sided
Rv AssocIated Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Informa-
ton from Cuba that there is a growing
dissatisfaction there at the terms of
the proposed Anglo-Cuban treaty has
developed here the fact that the Wash
ington government thoroughly ap-
preciates the reasons of the Cuban
people for objecting to the treaty.
The official view here is that the
treaty is distinctly disadvantageous to
Cuba in that it precludes that country
from renewing with the United States
her reciprocity treaty which under the
present arrangement is effective only
for five years. The Anglo-Cuban treaty,
it is pointed out, gives practically no
benefits to Cuba and shuts her off
from receiving advantageous treatment
at the hands of the United States.
