RUSSIAN REPLY, MADE.

Refuses to Discuss Indemnity or css.
sion Of sai<haIin. NJ.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.-The
Russian reply to the Japanese terms
delivered by NJ Wife TO Baron Ko-
mura declines to discuss two points
indemnity and cession of Sakhalin.
Others it accepts and still others it
accepts conditionally.
The reply is long, taking up the con-
ditions seriatim and setting forth the
reasons and arguments for the de-
cision reached in each case. The ar
gument against the payment of an in
demnity or the cession of territory is
based on the general theory that Rus
STA is not responsible for the war and
that as Russia is still prepared to
continue the struggle and has sought
this meeting not as vanuuished
country begging for terms, but be-
cause she sincerely desires peace if
honorable peace is possible. - There
fore, she could neither agree to foot
Japan's bill for war expenses nor cede
territory. The argument can be fairly
stated as follows:
Russia is not vanquished. She has
suffered reverses, but she is not
obliged to accept peace at any cost.
She desires peace now as she always
has, even before Japan opened hostili-
ties. That Russia did not court or
want war was evident by the fact that
she was not prepared for it either in
military, naval or administrative
sense Russia could. possibly be prop.
erly accused of only one thing -of
having given the occasion which
Japan was seeking and for which
Japan had been preparing for ten
years to make war upon her. The
resr onsibility for the war, therefore,
falls on Japan and not on Russia. !.

Aside from the fact that "A foreigner

no such test should be- placed upon the
