JAPANESE PEOPLE CALM.
No Disposition to Regard Peace as
Accom- pLished.

Toxic. June 10-Tokio has calmly received ths
news Of prospective peace. The absence of as
surance that Russia Will accept President Roose-
Veits suggestion and the knowledge that peace
involves the adjustment OF series of questions of
paramount importance requiring the most care
ful diplomacy, extending over weeks of negotia-
tion coupled. perhaps. with the recollection of a
previous experience in the thorny path of world
politics, seem to create disposition to await
results There is. nevertheless the keenest satis-
faction over the preliminary step and a feeling
OF deep gratefulness over President Roosevelt's S
action
Tnere is also genuine THANKSGIVING at the
enousht that the carnage and horror and waste
OF war VIII soon end, and a genuine hope that
fhe negotiations viii bring a satisfactory and
enduring peace. The national rejoicing and
Thanksgiving viii probably be deferred until the
treaty Of peace is signed and all doubt ended.
The question Of an armstice. which will lower
the bayonets Of the two enormous armies facing
each other on the Manchurian frontier. has not
been discussed. but IL is believed that an arnis-
tee will be speedily concluded
Ihe japanese plenipotentiaries to arrange
terms OF peace are already being discussed The
names OF Marquis Ito. Premier Katsura, the
foreign Minister, Baron komura: Marquis va
masata and Others are being suggested as pos
sibie heads of the commission.
Popular estimates Of Japan's terms Of naaca
vary widely and include both indemnity and
cession OF territory. 1t is believed that the peace
commissioners will meet somewhere In the
Orient.
President Roosevelt's instructions to Minister
Griscom were delayed in transmission. and did
not reach the legation until late yesterday after
noon An Associated Press message on Thurs
day brought the earliest public fntinatiop o+
prospective peace negotiations but pending the
receipt OF the formal message from President
Roosevelt and the dispatch Of Japan's response
the censor refused to allow the transmission of
press kilograms bearing on the subject All In

1t is premature to discuss terms OF peace. 1t

broken down. II might require years before the
ultimate result Of the war LIS attained Japan
does not fear the prolongation OF the war, but
the heavy losses of life involved move the peo-
pie from the depths Of their hearts.
The "Jiji' thanks President Roosevelt and
pays tribute to him for his action. It concludes
by warning the people to be prepared for the
failure OF the negotiations. and for the possible
necessity of continuing the struggle.
The "Nichi Nichi' writes In a similar strain.

the war party In Russia continues to exert Its
influence over the Emperor. 1t urges Japan to
insist on some guarantee to secure protection II
an armistice should be declared. Japans terms
may not be exacting, the paper says. but the
fact of her unqualified victory must not bs for

that 1.-THE situation requires calmness and watch

THE THANKS OF AUSTRIA.
Ill Glasses ApproUe the Means
Taken to End the War.

Vienna, June 11.-President Roosevelts ener-
getic and successful efforts to bring about peace
negotiations have attracted to him and to the
United States almost the undivided attention Of
the peoples of Austria and Hungary and have
made a deep impression on all classes The
press of Vienna gives President Roosevelt
stinted praise for his initiative In bringing peace
negotiations to their present status and is ready
TO give him full credit for putting end to the
fearful slaughter Of the last sixteen months in
case peace results. He is said to have rendered
immeasurable and lasting service to human
ity and civilization. The semi-ofricial 'Fremden-
blatt says:
President Roosevelts efforts toward peace
have been attended with honorable and great
success. In his appeal to the contending a.
tions the President has acted with much tact
and has been circumspect and discreet yet
withal so enthusiastic that no matter what
may be the final outcome, he has the fullest
claim the deep thanks Of all men who desire
the termination of this long and terrible war.
Even II Washington be not selected as the place
of conference, the measure OF praise and credit
due TO President Roosevelt will be undiminished.
To his ability alone is due the present success
Of peace movement that under any circuul-
stances should be most highly estimated

conditions of both sides. the Japanese condi-

These are practically the same as former
speculative conditions. namely. an indemnity OF

churia and Corea, the cession Of Port Arthur
and part Of the Trans -Manchurian Railroad to
Japan, forfeiture of the interned warshps, the
withdrawal Of Russian warships from the Far

occupation of Vladivostok until these conditions
are fulfilled.
The Russian conditions. according to the dis

SKEPTICISM IN LONDON.
Belief in Some Quarters that Battle
Must Precede Peace.

London, June 12.-Sone Of the London morn
ing newspapers still skeptical of the possi-
bility of peace resulting from President Roose-
yelt's efforts, but all admit the Unexpectedly
swift progress and pay the highest tributes of
praise to the Presidents successful diplomacy.
If negotiations should reach the stage of
rangement for arrnistice, it will be felt that
peace is at last in sight because 1t is believed
that If Japan consents to suspend Field Mar
shal Oyama's well developed plans for the COM
ing battle it will be an indication that the Jap
anese government has good reason to know that
Russia is In earnest in her desire to arrange for
peace.
1.-THE Daily Telegraph" however. which may
be regarded as a government organ, believes
that there is every reason to expect a satisfac-
tory ISSUE though it is almost certain that there
will be temporary delays and bitches. The
paper bases this belief on its conviction that
Japan's terms in their broader outline must
have been known to all parties concerned be-
fore negotiations reached their present stage.
and that had there been a single proposal abso-
lutely not acceptable Russia would not have
engaged in negotiations at all.
Other papers maintain that there will be little
chance of peace until General Linevitch has
been driven across the Amoor River and until
the Japanese have captured Vladivostok. There
fore, there is nluch curiosity 10 see the exact
terms of Russia's reply to President Roosevelt,
especially since the publication of the reply of
Baron Komura. Japanese Minister of Foreign
Affairs accepting the proposal to meet Russian
pIenipotentiaries "for the purpose of negoti-
ating and concluding terms Of peace" it being
supposed here that Russia only desires to hear
what Japan has to propose.
Various versions of alleged Japanese and Rus
sian terms printed here but these versions
can only be of speculative nature.

MENELIK AND HIS RULE
German Ministers Impressions OF
the Abyssinidn King.

Berlin, June 11.-Dr. Rosen Mnister-elect to
Morocco. has returned from Ads Abeba, Abys-
sinia, where he had gone special envoy of
Germany to King Menelik for the purpose of
concluding commercial treaty between Abys-
sinia and this country. DR.. Rosen's personal
estimate of King Menelik, whose language he
speaks and whose associate he for some
weeks. is that he is man of sound morals
and excellent principles. according to the Euro
pean standard, and that In the main he lives
up to these principles. DR.. Rosen says that
King Menelik's easy rule over the feudal district
kings and chiefs is due to his quick mind and
mild. conciliatory disposition, supported by oc-
casional severity. He always keeps his word
and is just to the traditions of his country.
King Meneliks own belief according to Dr.
Rosen, is that he Is descended from of
Solomon and the Queen OF Sheba; that this
SON who was called Prince Menelik l, with a
following of picked men. Jews and Sabians
went into Ethiopia and lived and thrived there
and that these Jews were the founders of the
present Abyssinian Semitic Menelik I
is supposed to have taken the Ark of the Cove
nant with him. and it is still asserted to be in
it and 1t has not been seen even by the present
ruler OF Abyssinia, only priests of high grade
who unmarried being permitted to behold
1t
Dr. Rosen says that King Menelik is In fine
health. and that although he is sixty-two years
old. he looks only about fifty. His majesty is
fond Of wearing a broad brimmed American hat
when outdoors but otherwise he dresses in the
loose garments of the country When indoors
the king wears a large handkerchief folded
about his head.
Not one of DR.. Rosen's party of eighteen was
I'll during the expedition. On the way out Of
Abyssinia the members OF the party found sup
plies waiting for them at every station. Al
though it has been said that Menelik's authority
the outlying districts is not obeyed. DR..

CAUSES OF RUSSIAN DEFEAT.
Lack of Ammunition and Mutinies Among
Crews Alleged

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE st. Petersburg
Telegraph agency has received a dispatch from
it's Shanghai correspondent. which asserts that
not only the Russian ships short of
shells that they could indulge In only three
target practices after leaving Libau. but that
in the course Of the battle of the Sea of Japan
many projectiles either fell short or failed to in
fict damage the Japanese vessels.
The dispatch adds that number of nlutinies
occurred on the voyage of the Russian squad
ron, especially the battleship Orel and the
converted cruiser Ural, owing to the quality OF
the food served to the crews.
