TEXT OF JAPANESE REPLY.
Roosevelt's Note for Peace Was Well
Replied to.


Replied to.
The following is the text of the Jap
anese reply to President Roosevelt's
identical note to Japan and Russia on
the subject of negotiations for peace:
The imperial government has given
to the suggestions of the president of
the United States, embodied in the
note handed to the minister of foreign
affairs by the United States minister
on the 9th instant, the very serious
considerations to which, because of its
source and its import, it is justly en-
titled. Desiring, in the interest of the
world, as well as in the interest of
Japan, the reestablishment of peace
with Russia on terms and conditions
that will fully guarantee its stability,
the imperial government will, in re-
Spouse to the suggestions of the pres
ident, appoint plenipotentiaries of Jap
an to meet the plenipotentiaries of
Russia at such time and place as may
be found to be mutually agreeable and
convenient for the purpose of negoti-
ating and concluding terms of peace
directly and exclusively between the
two belligerent powers"

Miner will not be arrested, though
the arrest of other persons for COM

The German emperor, it is under

that he had encouraged the sultan to
invite the powers to a conference, and
also because what Germany wanted
was not special privileges in Morocco,
but the open door and a strict adher-
ence to the Madrid convention. The
acceptance of such a proposition, the
emperor held, would be a violation Of
that convention. Since the emperor's
refusal to participate in any arrange

anything like a sphere of influence in
Morocco the negotiations at Paris have
not progressed very rapiuiy.

relations between the two countries
were far from satisfactory, and had
already caused considerable anxiety in
London.
From information reaching here to-
day Berlin has been put in a much
better humor by the retirement of
NJ. Delcasse. 1t appears that some
sort of proposition was made to Ger
many suggesting the development of
her interests in Morocco along lines
which would be acceptable to France

MOROCCO TROUBLE
GERMANY, FRANCE And GREAT
BRITAIN In A MIXUP.
Germany's Policy oward France Indl-
rectly Directed Against England
Trouble Dates with AngIo-French
Treaty-Madrid Convention Agree
ment Violated, Says Germany.

London, June 19.-The crisis which
Germany is forcing upon the nations
will soon assume new phase. Every
move thus far made by the kaiser has
been aimed a. France, although chiefly
designed to damage British interests.
The government of this country has
not the slightest desire to shelter itself
behind its more exposeu neighbor.
There is reason to believe Lord Lans-
downe will soon take measures to
make our position clear and the issue
direct.
The policy Germany is pursuing to-
ward France, if directed against Eng
land, could have but one result. The
British government is by no means I'M
willing to put the genuineness of Ger
man aggression to a test, and oppor-
tunity to do so is likely to arise in
the near future.
1t is understood that France, reply
ing to Germany's demand for an in
ternational conference on Morocco,
Will consent, with the proviso that no
existing agreement to which France is
a party shall be interfered with. This
answer, of course, is equivalent to a
declaration that the Anglo-French-
Spanish compact must stand. Ger
many can not accept it without aban-
doning her chief contention.
Why Germany Protests.
The Morocco trouble dates from the
signing Of the Anglo-French treaty on
April 4, 1904. That treaty included
special arrangement between France
and England regarding Morocco, which
Germany claims is in contradiction to
article one of the convention of Mad
rid, negotiated by the powers repre-
sented at the Madrid conference of
1So0-S1.
What has especially offended Ger
many is the alleged failure of France
to inform her officially of the Anglo
French treaty. France Gains that IL
days before the treaty was signed
the articles concerning Morocco were
submitted to the German government
and that no objection was raised to
them. The Berlin government insists
| that 1t was practically ignored by
France in the negotiations of this
treaty, and points to the fact that Eng
land, as soon as the treaty was sign
ed submitted the articles affecting
Egypt to Germany for approval.
These articles, which concerned the
Egyptian debt, were approved at Ber-
lin with certain reservations.
1t is understood on two occasions
the German representative at Tangier
has intimated to the French minister
the dissatisfaction of Germany with
the French policy in Morocco, and as
long ago as last November the Ger
man emperor informed the sultan that
he would recognize no such violation
of the Madrid convention as was in
volved in the new Anglo-French ar
rangement.
