JAPS LOOK FOR SUCCESSFUL
CONCLUSION OF PEACE NE
EQUATIONS.
NICHOLAS WAS ASTONISHED
MYSTERY OF MEETING OF CAR
AND KAISER is NOT YET
CLEARED UP.

New York, July 27-That Japan will
demand an indemnity of Russia IN
the negotiations for peace, and that
the war will be declared at an end at
the conclusion of negotiations at
Portsmouth, N. H., next month, is the
belief of Baron Komura, head of the
Japanese peace delegation, who ar
rived here yesterday as voiced by
Aimar Sato. who is the official spokes-
man for the baron on this mission.
Mr.. Sato, in an interview last night,
said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the ap-
pointed delegations. The Japanese
will be guided by moderation and no
excessive demands will be made, but
the sentiment in Japan and Russia is
for peace, and in the interests of hui
mainly and propriety there must be
peace.
"The cost to Japan, however, has
been very great. On both sides the
loss has been $4,000 men, Russia los
ing 100000 of these The war is cost
ing Japan 100000 a day, and there
is a feeling that there ought to be an
indemnity"

st. Petersburg, July 27.-Gossip and
conjecture are busy with the reasons
for and results Of the meeting be-
tween Emperor William and Emperor
Nicholas off the Island of Bjoerkoe,
but the return of the Russian imperial
party to PeterhOff has added nothing
definite to the information regarding
the subjects discussed or the con-
views between the two soyereigns.
under the circumstances. no authori-
tative statement can be made, and the
only information vouchsafed is that
the conversations were extremely cor
dial and friendly.
The belief that the meeting will
make for peace was reflected on the
boerse yesterday, Imperial As rising a
full point to IS IL in firm market.
The Importance of the meeting is
recognized in the press comments of
all shades of opinion. Various con-
lectures are advanced as to its real
meaning, but they are all admittedly
guesswork.
The Gar Returns.
The car returned to the palace of
Peterhoff yesterday from his inter-
view with the kaiser at sea. Count
Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, after
ward had his usual weekly audience.
Nicholas Astonished.
Paris, July 27.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Matin says it is
semi-officially admitted that the car
was considerably astonished on re-
ceiving a telegram from the kaiser in
viting the czar to meet him.
The Echo de Paris, in an article on
the cause and probable consequences
of the meeting between the car and
the kaiser, says:
Seeks to Annoy France.
William was thoroughly persuaded
that the meeting would give him a
great opportunity for causing annoy
ance to France 1t must therefore be
logically concluded that the feelings
of William toward France still bear
the impress of his notorious ill-will
toward us"
The article concludes as follows:
1--WE ought to be more watchful, for
Germany pursues her anti-French pol
icy with remarkable tenacity, and it is
always the Anglo-French understand
ing that is aimed at"

day-forty seven of them-in a COM

ontory of Lomax, high above the SHIN
mering water of San Diego bay on the
one side and within sound OF the
booming surf of the Pacific on the
other, they were laid to rest in the
peaceful little military burylng

yellow with age bear the names OF
men who died at Monterey, IN the
Mexican war, others who gave their
lives in the conquest of California,
and who followed Commodore Stock

their neighbors in death.
Army and navy paid their last trlb-
utes. no more sincere than the simple
grief of the representatives OF peace,
who made the long journey around or
across the great bay. From Fort
Rosecrans came the 115th company,
coast heavy artillery: from the city OF
San Diego, the naval reserves; from
the universal brotherhood's home on
Point Lomax, a company of khaki
clad representatives and from the
government ship Fortune, a dozen OF
their sailors.
But the most impressive body OF
men were the sixty yeomen from the
battered Bennington. Beside these
there were hundreds of civilians who,
unthoughtful of the fatiguing journey
from the city, brought their offerings
of flowers
To Lay Upon the Graves.
San Diego was a city of mourning
Yesterday. Although the people of
this little city have taken in the Ben
nington catastrophe an interest that
was personal to all from the moment
that it happened, they set apart the
beautiful Sabbath day to pay the last
and loving tribute to the dead.
Thousands filed through the
morgues yesterday morning with
arms filled with flowers, dropping the
blossoms here and Their upon some
unfortunate's flag -draped coffin. 9th
er thousands gathered in the plaza
from which the procession was to
start.
From noon the cortege toiled to the
burying ground and not until $50
o'clock was the last casket placed in
the rock-ribbed trenches. The death
trench in which the bodies were
placed in two rows, feet to feet, is
sixty feet long and fourteen feet wide.
It was finished but few minutes be-
fore the arrival of the first load of
bodies.
Total Dead Sixty.
A careful compilation of casualties
was made by the associated Press as
follows:

Peace Talk Useless.

Toxic, Jan. 4.-The weight of opin-

belief in the early conclusion of peace
and doubt is expressed that the fall
OF Port Arthur will materially affect
the situation.
One of several officials who discuss,
ed the question with the corresponds
ent of the Associated Press today
voiced the sentiment of the majority
when he said:
1--WE are confronting situation
which continues to be purely military.
The present problem is created by
General Kuropatkin's army and by
the Russian second Pacific squadron.
We anticipate that the Russians will
renew more determinedly than ever
their efforts to drive Field Marshal
Oyama back and that they will strive
to gain supremacy at sea. We are
preparing to defeat both these objects.
This situation makes talk of peace
futile"

GENERAL NOGI so INFORMS EN-
PERoR OF JAPAN.
SURRENDER WAS SURPRISE
Japanese Did Not Expect to Capture
Stronghold Without Further
Fighting.

Toxic, Jan 4.-The Japanese cap
tured 25,0OO prisoners at Port Arthur.
The total number of inhabitants is
$4,000, of whom 10000 are sick.
General Nogi reports to the army
department that on January 3 the
commissioners OF both the Japanese
and Russian armies concluded their
conference and that from the morning
of January 4 the actual transfer OF
war materials at Port ArthTr, as prop
erty of the japanese government, COM
menced.
The entire garrison and all the nom
combatants will march out of the city
tomorrow to the village of Yahuthwei,
near the shores of Pigeon bay, from
which place the Russian officers will
be transported to Dalny, and thence
to wherever they may desire.
| The prisoners of war will be de-
| tanned at the Russian barracks in the
village until they can be transferred
to Dalny.
! The conference between the Rus
slams and Japanese commissioners, at
which the terms of surrender were ar,
ranged, took place at the village OF
Shuishiying at 10 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and lasted until 8 O'Clock
last night.
The Russian commissioners were:
Chief of Staff Reiss, Surgeon Genera
Ballaschoff Colonel Vostock AID two
ctEer staff officers, with two interpre-
ters. The Japanese commissioners
were: Major General Ijichi, chief OF
staff; Major Yamaoka, Doctor Ariga
and two others, staff officers, with two
interpreters.
Thus has Japan won the great Rus
sian stronghold ir the far east, in
which she lost over $4,000 soldiers,
who were put out of action in the most
sanguinary fighting the world has
ever seen.
The surrender of the fortress at the
present time came as a surprise even
to the Japanese, as the desperate de-
termination and courage of the Rus
slams even in the last assaults indi
Gated that the struggle would be one
to the bitter end.
