Japan MagnanimOusly Gave Up All

the Master Hind Throughout.

Portsmouth, N. H. Aug. 90
The long and bloody war between
Japan and Russia is ended. Tie
terms Of peace were settled by Mr..
White and Baron Komura at the
session of the conference this morn
ing, and this afternoon preliminary
arrangements for an armistice were
concluded and the actual work of
framing the Treaty of Ports
mouth was by mutual agreement
turned over to A. r. DeMartens,
Russia's great international law
yer, and Mr.. Denison, who for Is
years has acted as legal advisor of
the Japanese foreign Office. The
treaty is expected to be completed
by the end eff the week.
This happy conclusion of the
conference which a week ago would
have been shipwrecked had it not
been for the heroic intercession of
President Roosevelt, was sudden
and dramatic. For the sake Of
peace, Japan with the magnanimi-
ty of victor, at the last moment
yielded everything still in issue.
Russia refused to bulge from the
position Emperor Nicholas had
given to President Roosevelt,
through Ambassador Meyer. No
indemnity under any guise but an
agreement to divide Sakhalin and
reimburse Japan for the mainte-
nance of the Russian prisoners were
his last words. They had been
repeatedly reiterated in Mr.. Whites
instructions and in the form of a
written reply to the Japanese COM
promise proposal of last Wednes-
day they were delivered to Baron
Komura this morning.
