PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. Aug. 26.-As
indicated in these dispatches last night,
there was no rupture in the peace
negotiations today. Peace is by no
means assured, but an important crisis
has been tided over, and the fact that
the life of the conference has been pro-
longed into next week adds materially
to the chances of a favorable issue.
According to the Russian version, It
was Japan and not Russia which
weakened this afternoon. M. Witte
publicly announced after the sitting
that it was Baron Komura who asked
order to have time to submit new
proposition. Yet it is known that M.
Witte has received instructions, sent
after the presidents intercession at
Peterhof through Ambassador Meyer,
to agree to the division of Sakhalin.
and to permit liberal compensation for
the Russian prisoners of war and the
cession of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road, but to continue absolutely to re-
fuse to pay war tribute under any
guise. This was described as Rus
sia's "ultimatunn." leaving the same old
question of money as the stumbling
block to an agreement.
In the regular course of procedure
after the presentation of the Japanese
compromise proposition on Wednesday
the diplomatic move passed to Russia.
and it was Mr.. Whites turn naturally
to present the counter proposition of
his government. If he succeeded, as in

at an aperture made in the prison
walls by five desperate crimianls. who
had planned to escape. The plucky

revolvers and plenty of determination
the prisoners contented themselves with
cursing her until her husband returned
shortly after midnight and drove them
into their cells.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Mrs. Ward
heard bricks falling and discovered the
men working at the wall She went
outside locking the door after her, and
when the first man poked his head out,
he ran against the revolvers. After a
short parley the prisoners made a rush
and battered down larger hole. but
were afraid to dash out as 1t was
known Mrs. Ward was a dead shot.
The men threatened all sorts of vio-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSS.
OYSTER BAY, Aug 26.-President
Roosevelt with a party of friends and
relatives today witnessed a test of the
submarine torpedo boat Plunger from
the deck of the yacht Sylph.
The weather was quite different from
that of yesterday when the president
himself made trip in the Plunger and
participated in the maneuvers of the
tiny vessel, forty feet below the sur
face of Long Island Sound.
A stiff northeastern wind yet was
blowing today but the rain had ceased
and the sun was shining. The test of
the Plunger took place in the waters of
the sound a short distance outside the
entrance to Oyster Bay. The boat
operated in about seven fathoms of
water.
Soon after the president and his party
boarded the Sylph the Plunger got
under way. At the request of the
president the little vessel performed
some of her feats within the waters of
oyster Bay. While the president was
on board the vessel yesterday no at
tempt was made to discharge a tor
pedo AS he was anxious to witness
that experiment it was arranged that
Lieutenant Nelson, the commander of
the vessel. and his men would launch
one of the projectiles within the bay.
Accompanied by Lieut.. Frank Evans,
:. Cy,,I.
ident's cousin, w. Emlen Roosevelt.
the president went to the bridge of the
Sylph to witness the experiment.. After
maneuvering few minutes, making
in the meantime several porpoise dives,
the Plunger came to the surface and
discharged a torpedo The bow of the
vessel rose a few feet out of the wa
ter, there was gush of foam, several
fathoms ahead and the torpedo
skinned the surface of the bay for
picked up by one of the Sylph's
launches.
On account of the pressure of busi-
ness in connection with the peace ne
gotiations President Roosevelt was
obliged to leave the Sylph at 10:30
o'clock and return to Sycamore hill.
Before leaving he expressed his salts
faction with the maneuvering of the
vessel and the notable skill of the men
who handled her. He had learned, he
said. that the officers and men on the
boat were receiving for the services
they are now rendering only shore pay,
although it was manifest that at no
time would their services be more haz-
ardous than they are at present. The
president has directed that hereafter
they shall receive sea pay for their
present duties. Their sea pay will be-
gin next Monday.
