partment has been advised through
the British embassy of the intended
visit to American waters this autumn
of Prince Louis Of Battenberg with a
squadron of British warships, consist
ing. it is understood here, of four
cruisers. 1t is understood that owing
to the lateness in the season of the
arrival on this side of the Atlantic,
the squadron will not be able to visit
Newport as was decided but will visit
New York and then Annapolis. From
the latter place the prince is expected
to come to Washington. While the
navy department is not advised def.
nitely Of the date of the princes visit,
it is understood that it will take place

TO PARDON CONSERVATIVES.
The Ohio Penitentiary Alleged To BE
Death Trap.

Columbus. O.. June 10.-Warden
Gould and Prison Physician Thomas
have taken preliminary steps to have
Gov. Herrick pardon five convicts who
are almost dead from consumption.
This tells in forceful manner the ex.
tent of tuberculosis at the peniten.
tiary.
Expert Investigators Of the prison
have declared to send man to the
Ohio penltentiary was equivalent to
sentencing him to exposure to a slow
death Of torture. They say conditions
are right for the communication Of
the disease, and isolation is impossi.
BILE.
The movement Of Warden Gould and
Physician Thomas is believed to be
but the beginning Of an effort to get
all consumptives away from the pris-
on. even II 1t is necessary to pardon
all such prisoners.

Washington. June 10.--An identical

ments Of Russia and Japan by Presi.
dent Roosevelt In the interest OF h,i.

directly and exclusively" between the
belligerent nations. The note indi.
Gates the presidents belief that an in.
termediary may not be necessary to
effect conclusive negotiations but like
wise expresses the presidents willing.
ness to do all that he properly may
do to promote the preliminary ar.
rangements for a time and place for
the meeting Of representatives of Rus
sian ana Japanese governments.
st. Petersburg, June 12.-Russia Is
waiting for Japan to fix the time and
the place when and where the Japanese
terms will be placed in the hands of
Russia's representative. The foreign
Office expects that the delay will be
brief.
The emperor's government would
prefer that Paris should be the scene
of the initial step. but it is explained
that neither the place nor the person.
ality Of the Russian representative
matters greatly.
The Russian representative will not
be plenipotentiary with full power
to negotiate. His duty will practically
be confined to the reception and trans
mission to his government of the Jap
anese terms for decision as to wheth-
er they afford basis for actual peace
negotiations. He will be clothed with
power to effect an agreement for the
suspension Of hostilities, which sus-
pense will probably be for very lin
tied period, during which Russia must
decide the momentous question of
peace or prolongation of the war.
During this temporary armistice both
countries probably will be free to con-
tinue the movement Of troops and mu.
nitions of war within prescribed lin.
its, although nothing definite on this
point will be known until the meeting
takes place.
If Russia finds that the terms are
on a basis on which negotiations can
proceed, regular plenipotentiaries will
be appointed. the number being de.
cided by the belligerents themselves,
and then it is not impossible that the
might be transferred to
Manchuria. as President Roosevelt Is
believed to have suggested.
