paris. March s1-whateyer of hope

Paris. March 31.-Whateyer of hope
fulness the peace situation may have
had some days ago the situation has
now completely changed and there is
every prospect that the war will drag
on again. Consequently dispatches
appearing in America saying Foreign
Minister Delcasse and japanese Min
lister Motono had been comforting at
the formers house relative to peace
are Inaccurate. The foregoing view. of
i the situation is taken by parties inn
4 mediately concerned and it is assert
ed with the authority Of the foreign
office and japanese legation.
The Associated Press correspondent
has talked lengthily with 9Motono DUR
+ ing the last few days and the situation
heretofore set forth in these dispatches
reflected the view of Motono and 9TH
ers directly concerned altho with the
usual reservation of not using their
names. However, in view of the con-
tinued reports that there were indica-
tions that Delcasse and Motono were
taking an active part in the negotia-
tions, the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press called at the japanese le-
furnish decisive statement which
would put at rest all misunderstand-
ings. Accordingly the minister gave
the Associated Press the following
categorical statement which was taken
in writing and may be accepted as au-
tlloritatively clearing the situations: Il
tell you explicitly there have been no
peace negotiations or preliminaries
II am not desirous of discussing
the general question of peace, for, ow-
ing to the complete absence of nego-
tiations or preliminaries towards nego-
tiations, that question can only be
academic and without practical bear
ing. The statements that have con-
ferred with Delcasse at his residence
are false and are calculated to con-
fuse the situation, which is perfectly
plain. There is no representative of
Japan authorized at this time to dis
cuss peace or foreshadow in the least
what conditions the Japanese govern
ment might consider, if negotiations
assumed a practical stage. On the
contrary, Japan is now engaged in con-
Z Quoting military campaign. She will
resolutely proceed with that import
ant work.
ut can be added the introduction of
the foreign dispatch as well as the por-
\ ton quoted was submitted to Motono.
who approved every word 1t was, sim
ilarly submitted to the foreign office,
where it was approved thruout. There
fore the dispatch can be accepted as
being in the highest degree authorita-
tive"
