| Oyama the Master.
London. June 22.-While undoubted-
| ly the people of England would like to
| see a general battle in Manchuria be-
| fore an armistice is declared. since it
is felt certain that Field Marshal
| Oyama would score another victory,
| the Associated Press is assured that
the British government has not given
Japan any advice as to what course to
pursue, as alleged by the Novoe
Vremya of ST Petersburg. In fact the
| government has done nothing beyond
supporting President Roosevelt's en-
| deavor to secure the earliest meeting
of the peace plenipOtentiaries and the
submission by Japan of terms likely to
| be acceptable to Russia. With over
whelming forces at his command it is
felt in military circles that Oyama is
in a position to deal most crushing
defeat to Gen. Linevitch.

welt. and even that is considered slen-
! der. So far as is known the president
has not taken a positive step in this
/ direction.
The impression here continues
strong that Japan, only with great re-
sluctance, would be induced to foregC
the advantages of her strategic posi-
ton, which, despite the tone of the Of
fetal advices from the front. is regard
ed as being altogether favorable tc
Field Marshal Oyama, and agree to g
suspension of hostilities for at least
six weeks, during which time thou
sands of reinforcements would reach

be strengthened with munitions anC
supplies to withstand siege.
