miral Rojestvensky has entered the naval
hospital The report that Vice Admiral
EnQuist was captured proves to have

Admiral Togo reports that. as the two
Russian hospital ships which accom-
panied Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet into
the straits OF Korea on May q Were sus-
pected Of a violation of The Hague con-
vention. and also because of the greatest

FRANCE LOOKS FOR PEACE.
Suspects Germany of Incitins the Car
to Further Efforts.

to Further Efforts.
PARIS, May S.-Governmental quar-
ters here for the first time entertain a
distinct hope for peace. This hope is not
strong, but it is something more than q
deduction from the result of the recent
naval battle. What it is based upon is
not known outside of those intimately
ccnversant with Russia's intentions, but
it is significant that hope now prevails in
high quarters that the peace efforts may
not be futile. 1t is said. however, that
everything depends upon small circle
very closely identified with Emperor
Nicholas who, it is recognized, must
have the final word despite any other in
fuences favorable to peace.
Concerning the reports of the possible
Intervention of the powers, 1t is said that
the time has not yet arrived for such a
movement, which might embarrass the
pacific tendencies already developing In
Russia At the same time the view pre-
walls that moral influences in France,
Great Britain and the United States
stand for peace. while. the interests of
Germany incline toward a prolongation
of the war.
Premier Rouvier has publicly asserted
that Russia's defeat at Mukden led Ger
many to embark on her ambitious pro-
gramme in Morocco, and the same senti-
ment prevails here now, namely, that
Russia's defeat in the straits of Korea
further strengthens German ambitions.
Therefore it Is expected that the first
steps toward peace will come through
France. Great Britain or the United
States il an opportune moment arrives
for a separate or concurrent expression
of such influences.

WHY czAR MAY FIGHT ON.
Vital Parts of Empire In No Danger Of
Invasion.

Invasion.
BERLIN, May 31.-Efforts are being
made in Government quarters to meas
IRE the changed situation of the belliger-
ents in the Far East and the consequent
possibilities of peace. The view at pres
eRt is that the Russian Government will
not ask for peace and that the war will
go on, bringing with 1t probably fresh
humiliations, but not at once the su-
preme humiliation of asking for mercy.
The considerations that hold the Rus
sian Government to enduring whatever
may yet come are the reasons which
kept the Emperor from yielding after
the former great reverses. namely: that
the vital parts of the Russian empire are
not yet touched: that the war SO far
has only been a colonial war. and that
Russia may yet attain superiority on
land and thus save the dynasty and Rus
sia from a final and historic humiliation.
Although it is impossible for military
men here to believe that>Russia can win
on land. it is equally diff1cult for those
following the higher political lines of
thought in Russia to believe that En-
peror Nicholas will ask for peace. The
conviction at the Berlin court Is that the
Russian Emperor believes in the right
ecusness of his cause and his unlimited
powers of passive resistance.

GLOOMY DISPATCH
Fears the Effect of the
Sea Disaster Upon His
Army Now on the Eve
of Battle in Manchuria

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1, $3.50 a. m.-
Whether peace or the continuance of the
war will be the result of yesterdays i'm
portant conference between tie Emperor
and his Ministers at Tsarskc e-Selo hangs
in doubt, the ministers who returned to
st. Petersburg late at night preserving
a cautious reticence over the proceedings
of the council as far as the attitude of
the Emperor is concerned. Prince Obel-
ensky, who had an audience yesterday
with his Majesty, found him resolutely
determined on the prosecution OF the war.
Various rumors are af1oat, all agreeing
that a continuance of the war was the
first question taken up whereupon the
peace party offered a strong line of argu-
ment, which was supplemented, 1t is said,
by a dispatch from Lieutenant General
Lineviteh in which that commander ex-
pressed a fear as to the demoralizing
effect of the naval disaster on the army.
the news of which had already reached
rapidly spreading.
Though the city is Tranquil, Governor
General Trepof is continuing his pre-
cautionary measures. Two further Dom
Cossack regiments have arrived and the
police and reserves are held on duty. Dur
ing the night small patrols were seen on
the Nevsky Prospect and other streets.
Aiarmist rumors are afioat to the
disaffection among the sailors quartered
here and the workmen are again mutter-
ing about a general strike.
Persistent but unconfirmed rumors are
in circulation to the effect that the pro-
tected cruiser Jemtchug has arrived at
Nladivostok and private messages from
that vessel are said to have been received
by the relatives of her officers here, but
the Admiralty does not yet include her in
the list of vessels which escaped.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 31.-With each
fresh disaster in the Far East, the trou-
bles of the Romanoff dynasty multiply at
home. An incident revealing the Govern
ment's fear of a popular rising was the
hurried summons to St. Petersburg of
three regiments which were in summer
camp sixteen miles southeast of the city.
Other troops will be brought to the city
If the growing clamor against the autoc-
racy should threaten to develop into
open demonstrations.
1t is said that some of the members of
the imperial family are urging the Car
10 take common cause with the people
against the autocracy and thus retrieve
the situation. 1t Is argued that Nicholas
has only to give the word, showing that
he Is ready to heed the voice OF the
masses, and the result would be wave of
patriotism that would have its immediate
effect and make possible victorious cam
paign on land against the Japanese foe.
The catastrophe that has overtaken
the Russian feet has given a
tremendous impetus 10 the de-
mand upon Emperor Nicholas for the
immediate convocation> Of a national
assembly, without awaiting action upon
the report of sile Boulgan rescript COM
mission. With the single exception o. the
reactionary Sviet, the press pours out in
eaucracy. which is held responsible for all
the misfortunes of the war. Only the
Novosti and the Bourse Gazette, however,
declare that peace should be concluded.
The Russ,s now the most widely read
paper in Russia, says:
Those guilty of Russia's disgrace
should be overwhelmed with shame The
death of a half-million men and the loss
of millions of money is the price of the
rejection of progress and Western ciyiliza-
ton. Sebastopol struck the shackles from
the serfs and Port Arthur. Mukden and
Tsu Island should free Russia from the
slavery of the bureaucracy"
The Slovo, another popular paper, is
even more bitter. 1t says:
Enough. Blindfolded for two years.
the Russian people have been marching
to the brink of destruction, but the BAN
dages are now torn from the eyes of
100, 600, 900 of Russians and they will neither
be led nor driven over the precipice Let
the people speak. Thea Bureaucracy has
had its say and has crowned it's work of
national shame and humiliation. Let it
now listen to what those who have suf-
fered in silence and who have supported
1t in luxury have tossay.
From this moment a convocation of
the people has become as necessary as
the air we breathe. If the bureaucracy
this time stands between the Emperor
and the nation, let it beware Let it re-
member the lessons of Russian history
the history Of the Zemsky Sober of 1649
The Japanese are not fighting the Rus
sian people, but the Russian bureaucracy
which has rejected with energy the talent
of the nation for a hust of sycophants
and time-serving courtiers. Our only con-
ISOLATION in this bitter hour is the con-
sciousness that it is not the people, but
the Government. which has suffered de-

The Novoe Vremya, while milder, de-
Tending the Russian nation against the
charge of rottenness and insisting that
there is plenty of patriotism, as evi-
denced by the fact that more young OFF,

summoning of the people.

"All Russia's intelligence and all her abil-
ity are needed to meet the advancing

The Listok says: 'The war has taught
the lesson that education, good govern

Government. That such steps may be
taken is regarded as quite likely. but
the action will depend upon informa-
tion not yet in hand.
That a concerted effort on the part
of several important powers, including
the United States, to bring about a
cessation of hostilities in the Far East
may be made very soon is reasonably
certain. The result of such an effort
is quite another matter. 1t is regarded
as too soon yet, after the great naval
battle, for Russia to determine upon a
definite course of action. At least until
the st. Petersburg Government shall
have indicated what Its desires may be,
the probabilities are regarded as favor
able only to an informal discussion Of
peace.
