WANTS ANOTHER LICKING.
Russian Officials Glad That It Was
Made Informally, SO That President
Will not Have to be Officially snub-
bed.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE inter-
view between President Roosevelt
and Ambassador Cassini at Washing
ton regarding peace in the Far East
has not borne fruit here. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff has not yet visited
Tsarskoe-Selo, but will lay Count
Cassini's dispatch before the emperor
tomorrow, the regular audience day.
The Associated Press was informed
at the foreign Office that Count CASH
mis- report places the whole CONVEX
sation in purely informal light, and
it is expected that Russias answer
will be returned in an equally infor-
NAL manner.
The officials did not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that the determine
ton to continue the war was fixed
and definite. They seemed pleased
with President Roosevelt's friendly
spirit, which was manifested in such
a form as not to require formal re-
ply. Ambassador Meyer did not re-
ceive any dispatches on the subject
during the day, and after the futter
of excitement in diplomatic circles
caused by the press dispatches regard
ing the Washington interview the re-
representatives. of the powers here are
disposed to look upon the attempts to
end the war as fruitless until after
land battle at least.
London. : Accounts of President
Roosevelts interviews with Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister at Wash
ington, Count Cassini, Baron Speck
Won Sternburg and other ambassadors,
which are alleged to have been along
the line Of efforts to bring mediation,
are receiving much attention here, but
in diplomatic circles it is not believ-
ed that they will result in securing
peace. The belief is firm in all quar-
ters that Russia will continue the
war.
Peace reports come from Paris Der.
lin and st. Petersburg, as well as
from Washington, but not single de-
finite indication of peace or even of
intervention can be obtained.
At the Russian embassy it is de-
clared that the war will be continued,
and at the Japanese embassy it is said
there is no expectation of a peace Of
fer, while the foreign Office states that
it does not know of any movement to-
ward peace.
AS far as can be ascertained, the
British government has made no at
tempt to bring about Intervention,
though it undoubtedly is acquainted
with the terms Japan will accept, and
Is in position to take up negotia-
tons with France, Russias ally, i'm
mcdiateiy it is understood such
movement will not meet with rebuff.
Among the many advocates of peace
in this country, probably the most ac-
tive is Sir Thomas Barclay, who was
largely instrumental in a powerful eff
fort for mediation between the COM
oatants few months ago. He said to
The Associated Press:
Three months ago the Japanese
would have agreed to these peace
terms: First, the evacuation of Man.
churia by the Russians and it's return
to the control of China, under Japan
csc supervision; second, q Japanese
protectorate in Korea; third, the sur
render of the lease of Port Arthur and
also the surrender of the Manchuria
railway to international control and |
the dismantling of the Notifications of
Vladivostok. Since the naval battle,
however believe Japan has increas-
ed her demand to include territorial
indemnity comprising Vladivostok and
probably the island of Sakhalin Rus
STA will never pay a money indemnity,
nor will she sue for peace until she
becomes bankrupt. So long as she
possesses funds she will spend them
on ornaments"
