There Are Many Peace Reports, But
Nothing Definite.
London. June 6.-Accounts Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's interviews with Mr..
Takahira. the Japanese minister at
Washington; Count Cassini, Baron
Speck Won Sternburg and other amhas-
sadors. which are alleged to have been
along the line of efforts to bring me-
diation, are receiving much attention
here. but in diplomatic circles II is not
believed that they will result In Sc
curing peace. The belief is firm In all
quarters that Russia will continue the
war.
Peace reports come from Paris. Ber-
lin and ST. Petersburg, as well as
from Washington. but not a single
definite indication of peace or even
OF Intervention can be obtained.
At the Russian embassy il is de.
clared that the war will be continued
and at the Japanese embassy It Is said
there is no expectation OF peace Of
fer. while the foreign Office states that
It does not know Of any movement
towards peace.
As far as can be ascertained, the
British government has made no at
tempt to bring about Intervention, al
though It undoubtedly is acquainted
with the terms Japan will accept and
Is in a position TO take up negotiations
with France, Russia's ally, imme
diately II is understood that such a
movement will not meet with a rebuff
