Japs Gathering In Force to Attack
Russians At sipinghai.
St Petersburg. March 30.-Another
duel between the two opposing armies
in Manchuria may be on the program
for the coming week. The Russians,
according to the Associated Press
Harbin correspondent. are now strong
ly fortifying their positions at Siping-
hal, against which the Japanese are
reported 60 be gathering in force The
reported Russian retirement from Sip
lnghai to Chaoumiaodzi was incorrect,
due to a telegraphic error in the con
fusion of similar Chinese names, Cha
oumiaodzi with Shuamnyaotszi, south
of Sipinghai, whence the Russian ad-
vanced force retired to the fortified
line at Sipinghai. The Japanese fol-
lowed to some extent, but a border Of
20 miles of debatable ground still re-
mains between the two armies, over
which the Japanese probably will not
advance until they are ready to attack.
Equally important news is that a
column of Japanese is moving against
Kirin. perhaps with the intention Of
turning the position eastward and
striking at the Vladivostok line Of
communication. with the double pur-
pose of isolating the fortress and sep
arating General Linevitchs army from
a valuable base of supplies, the Ussuri
district

st. Petersburg, March 30-The Asso-
ciated Press is in a position to an
nounce that a step in the direction OF
peace actually has been taken. Russia
has indirectly made known to Japan
the negative conditions upon which
peace may be concluded, namely, no
cession OF territory and no indemnity,
leaving japan TO determine whether
negotiations can be begun upon that
basis. No reply from Japan has yet
reached the Russian government
Officially the authorities continue to
deny stoutly that Russia has made any
proposals TO Japan. This is literally
true. as Russia has only made known
the negative conditions, leaving the
Intermediary to convey these condi-
tions on its own responsibility TO
Japan.
Diplomats in ST. Petersburg are con-
vinced that something is in progress,
but none of those in a position to know
will acknowledge that they are aware
what actually has been or is being
done.
The Novoe Vremya yesterday for the
first time admitted the possibility OF
negotiating for peace. commenting on
the efforts of the British and French
press to prove that peace is advisable
both for Russia and Japan. The Novoe
Vremya declares that the payment of
indemnity by Russia is utterly ont OF
the question. as Il would be contri-
button tending TO build up the strength
OF Japan, and that Japan is not in a
position to claim indemnity. The pa
per asks whether diplomats "who did
nothing to,prevent war now will turn
their attention to bringing to a close
terms advantageous to both combat
ants.

PEACE MEASURES TAKEN, HOWEVER

t.auons, lest tney lead 10 an lnterna-
tional conference, the results Of which
might prove disastrous to the inter
ests of both belligerents.
There is authority for the statement
that France is diligently striving to
end the war, and that for six weeks
past negotiations of the most conhden-
tial character have been in progress
between Paris and ST. Petersburg.
Advices from Europe tell Of the
fear prevalent there in certain quar-
ters that the activities of Lamsdorff
and Delcasse are directed toward an
International conference TO be held in
some neutral European capital, such
as Stockholm, where peace negotia-
tions might be conducted. Il is said
that this move has, in a measure, been
blocked by tho refusal of Japan to
give any indication as to the peace
terms she would accept. until posi-
lively assured IN the name of the czar
himself that Russia is prepared 70 ne
gotiate in good faith for peace. Not
only does Japan insist upon this as
surance, but she prefers TO negotiate
directly with st. Petersburg.
With the United States. Germany
and Japan opposed to an international
conference to end the war, the belief
is strong in Washington that success
ful peace negotiations will date from
the day st. Petersburg communicates
with Toxic direct The Washington
government is alertly watching for the
opportunity to assist Russia and Japan
In getting into diplomatic communica-
tion. Thus would an international con
ference be avoided, and tho United
States would be in a better position to
insist upon the maintenance OF the
integrity and administrative entity of
China. No negotiations involving an
attack upon this principle can be ac-
quiesced in by the United States.

PRESIDENT NOT ASKED TO AlD
Washington Feels That Russia and

WASHINGTON Feels That Russia and
Japan Should Negotiate Directly.
Washington, March 80. Neither
Russia nor Japan have asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt to assist them in end
ing the war. So far as the Washington
government is aware, Emperor Nicho-
las has not yet weakened in his an
nounced decision ito prosecute the
war to the bitter end"
The genuine wish of this govern
ment for peace In the Far East is not
based upon selfish interests. Wash
ington believes that it Is to the ad-
vantage of both belligerents that the
Far Eastern war come to a speedy
end, and anything that this govern
ment can do to bring that about Will
be done gladly. From the outset of
the war the president has taken the
position. as has been repeatedly an
nounced by Secretary Hay that he
will do anything in his power to as
sist Russia and Japan TO a peace basis
when his services shall be acceptable
70 the belligerents. But it is authorita-
lively stated that no official of the
Washington government is ambitious
TO pose as the mediator between the
czar and the milSado.
It is the feeling here that Russia
and Japan should negotiate directly
aud avoid an international conference.
This opinion also prevails in Berlin.
Indeed. Japan has recently received an
urgent warning against indirect nego-
