from their headquarters breathed spirit
OF implacable resolution to adhere TO their
refusal
Indeed. there were open intimations
that unless the Japanese modified their
positions upon these points the attempts
TO negotiate reace must result In failure
and predictions were freely made among
the Russian correspondents that next
week would see the end.
At the same time there was popular
impression about the hotel that Mr..
Witte was "bluffing."
on the other side a similar but even
more impressive attitude OF determina-
tion was observed. They seem sure Of
their position and their strength.
SURRENDER OR WAR WILL GO ON.
The Japanese acted as II their minds
were made up. They would discuss but.
yield nothing on the main points There
seems good warrant for the statement
that two OF the minor conditions were
included for the purpose OF bargaining,J
but that the others in substance must
stand. In this condition OF affairs there
must be surrender one one side or tho
other, or the war will go on. There may
still be a chance OF peace. but II is based
entirely upon suuuen change OF the
uncompromising attitude OF one side or
the other.
Predictions are heard that II a break
comes President Roosevelt will again step
into the breach.
ALL REMAINED FOR CONFERENCE.
When the meeting adjourned the pleni-
potentiaries OF each side retired 10 their
respective private consultation rooms.
Mr. Witte decided I'm view OF the possi-

REPLY -pELNERED.
The Russian reply TO the Japanese con-
dItions Of peace was delivered by Mr..
Witte 10 Baron Komura this morning.
The heat was already almost unendur-
able when the Jananeses and Russian
plenipotentiaries set out for the navy
yard about o'clock. The mercury was
dancing in the COS on the veranda OF the
hotel. not a breath Of air was stirring,
bay and shore seemed swoonng in the
tropical atmosphere.
The foreigners were fairly overcome.
They were mopping their brows IS they
appeared. The heat evidently affected
their tempers The grim serious business
in hand upon the issue OF which the whole
world waits breathlessy seemed tempor-
arily forgotten in the general execration
OF the weather.
Mr. Witte and Mr. Takahira, who have
suffered p; rticularly from the unprece-
dented heat wave which has held this
vaunted summer resort in its releptless
grip for three days looked almost worn
out.
Baron Komura with Mr. TakahiIa and
Mr. Witte with Baron Rosen were taken
10 the navy yard I'm automobiles while
the secretaries and attaches OF the mis-
sions went over In a launch.
The latter greeted each other on the
wharf with smiles, but there was little
cordiality and no fraternizing. The few
remarks exchanged were simuly the po-
lite amenities and complaints against the
weather.
When they entered the launch they
were perforce compelled 90 again speak "a
each other as they were taking their
seats but before the launch had gone two
hundred yards, the attempt 20 keep up a
conversation ended. Perhaps among the
Russians the reserve was less noticeable
than among the japanese. but there was
