GENERAL CHARACTER
 OF JAPANESE TERMS
Continued from First Page.) b..

As for the subjects remaining to be discussed, a tedious one, it is believed, and one on which Russia will be dis posed to negotiate with the greatest caution, Is the programme for the re- storation of Manchuria to Chinese control.
 Because of the confusion and gen. eral disorder likely to ensue in the province after the withdrawal of the foreign armies, Japan believes that 8 certain time will be required in which to restore public order and the estab- lishment of regular system of Chi- nese police administration. During the period Japan will insist that she re- main in control of the administration of the province, at the same time giv- ing definite pledge finally to evacu- ate as soon as China shall be In position to take up the reins of gov ernment there and maintain order. It is believed the policy to be suggested by Japan in this matter will not be unlike that followed by the Washing ton government with reference to Cuba, American troops being with drawn from the island as soon as stable government was in control of the situation.
 A second subject for the plenipoten- tiaries to settle will be the surrender of all the Russian ships now interned in neutral ports. Some officials are inclined to believe that this demand will form one of the essentials" while others claim ground for believing that Russia may induce Japan to take these in part payment of the indemnity,
 Europe believes Japan will demand the naturalization of Vladivostok. The Washington government does not share in this belief. Indeed, in official cir cles here the statement is made with cles. here the statement is made with would be "moderate'' or reasonable" and it is known that Russia will not permit the subject of Vladivostok to come before the conference. Rather than submit to Japan's dictation on this point Russia has let it be known that she would certainly continue the war. Little progress has been made in the direction of an armistice. London has not seen it's way clear to aid the pres ident in his efforts to this end and Japan has in the most determined man. ner indicated it's unwillingness to con- sent to an armistice until her plenipo- tentiaries have met the Russians in the conference room. The object of this, it is now explained in an authoritative quarter, is because Japan wishes to be assured that Russia is prepared to ne- gotiate in seriousness for peace before the Japanese commanders yield any of their ground in the field or give the Russians time to increase their forces at the front.
 Information has reached here, how ever, that the president has not ceased his efforts in this direction, and it is believed that in case Baron Komura goes to Oyster bay in advance of his formal presentation it will be for the purpose of discussing this particular phase of the negotiations. Some doubt is expressed by diplomats, however, about such a visit and it is the opinion of more than one diplomat that should it take place etiquette will require a similar informal visit to M Witte be- fore the formal joint reception of the plenipotentiaries and their presentation by the president to each other.
