IN THE FAR EAST.
Sakhalin Island Affairs-Linevitch'.
Winter Force-The Prisoners.

st. Petersburg, oct. 3.-Negotiations
are in progress between Russia and
the japanese with the view of the i'm
mcdiote dcimination of the frontier on
the island Of S2khalin before the win
ter prevents such work i'll order to
avoid differences when the Russians
take possession of their half of the
island.
The question Of the size Of the Rus
sian army to be left in the Far East
after peace has not been definitely de-
cidcd, but General Linevitch will re
main in command of from five to eight
army corps. The others will be re-
turned as fast as possible after the
peace treaty is ratified. Part of the ac-
tive army will return 10y sea.
Instead of rcpartriating the Russian
prisoners direct from Janan, the com
mission on repatriation favors bringing
all the prisoners first to VlldiVost ok,
whence the Siberian reserves can hc
sent home and the others distributed
among their original regiments for re-
turn to Russia.
