JAPAN TO TREAT
WITH CAR ALONE
FOR PEACE PACT
Ready to Employ Force
Against Meddler in
Negotiations.
HAS ENGLAND'S SUPPORT
Ready to Submit Her
Terms When Russia
Gives In
HAS ENGLAND'S SUPPORT

TOKYO, June 9.-Important dispatch
es have been received from Ministers
Takahira. at Washington, and Motono,
at Paris. presumably bearing on the
! alleged request of the Russian govern
ment for Japan's peace terms, news of
which has been cabled here from Eu-
rope and America
On the authority of a member of the
cabinet, it can be stated that japan
, Is ready to submit her terms to Russia
whenever Russia asks for them and
gives assurances that she Is in earnest
In desiring to end the war;
Japan, however, does not purpose to
treat for peace with or through any
other power than Russia herself. She
wants to see the war ended. It must be
, ended ner way She will resent, by
force, If necessary, any attempt at in
tervention
1t is understood here that there is a
complete understanding between Eng
: land and Japan on this question AS
Japan is thoroughly in accord with the
position of the United States as to the
. trade future of Eastern Asia she feels
herself strong enough to defy any pos
sfpte combination Of Western powers
1t Is said on what appears to be good
authority. that Japan will insist on a
war indemnity, at least sufficient to
pay her war expenses. aud that Russia
shall withdraw beyond the old Siberian
(, boundary. The future of Port Arthur
and the Kwang Tung peninsula she re-
gcrds as settled She admits no Ques-
tion as to the status of Korea
These points may be regarded as GER
tain to be included in the peace terms
The size OF the indemnity and the ma
ture of the guarantee Russia will be
required to give to preserve the peace
OF the East are known only to the cabi-
net.

BUELOW GETS FORTUNE
TO SUPPORT NEW TITLE

BERLIN, June 0-On the very day,
Monday, that Emperor William made
MS chancellor a prince Won Buelow was
Informed that he had inherited s., ,375. 900
under the viii of Godefroy. the mil
lionaire
Up to that time Won BueIow, who is
hfty-six years old. was comparatively
poor, He had only his salary as chan
cellor of the empire and the allowances
attached TO his position. There is lit.le
douot that the Emperor would have
created Won Buelow a prince before
this but that the chancellor insisted that
he could not support the greater dig
nifty OF higher rank
The legacy was doubly opportune.
Won 8uelow became a prince on the
day tilat Delcasse resigned as foreign
minister of France, and Godefroy's be-
quest enabled the Emperor TO emphasize
the esteem in which he holds Won Bue-
lows diplomacy.
The prince, who married an Italian
lady, has no child.
Godefroys entire estate is valued by
the executors at about S6 500, 900, OF
which s., 10000 goes to other heirs and
s.. 500. 600 to charities.

L|NEWTCH'S ARMY
Japanese to Close in on
Enemy at Harbin.
REPORT COMES FROM CHEFO0
Both Russian Flanks Turned Nogi on
the West, and Big Force
Also on the East.
Especial Copyright cable1

CHEFOO, June 9.-News comes from
a heretofore reliable source 20 the effect
that both the Russian tanks have been
turned and that the Russian army has
been surrounded.
On the west, these reports says. Cen
eraI Nogis column has marched west
along the right bank Of the Laohe river,
turning north beyond the extreme right
flank of the Russians. and is striking
for the SungarI at It's juncture with the
Norni. southwest of Harbin.
Big Force on the East
In force at Omoso, about half way be-
tween Irin and Ninguta. The reports
are not clear as to whether these troops
are those of General Kuroki or whether
il is the army corps which landed at
Gen-san some weeks ago, and OF which
no reliable news has since been re-
cetyed.
The best opinion is that the Gen-san
corps has come In touch with kuroki.
and that the combined forces, under the
rnen who has initiated all the great bat
ties Of the war, are now In position
where they can strike either Harbin or
Vladivostok at Will.
1t is believed that the three Japanese
armies under Generals Kuroki, Nog1 and
Oyama, himself. already are closing in
on Linevitch and Will close III on him
at Harbin where, II IS figured here, the
next great battle VIII occur.
No Serious Fighting.
So far as can be learned beth these
fianking operations were accomplished
without serious fighting, They were
screened by movements of columns from
the central army which have been kept
busy for the past two or three weeks in
this work.
1t is reported that thousands of Man
chuses and Mongols are operating
with the Japanese army and are doing
efficient work for the allies IN the way
of scouting. raiding and informing Of
the movements Of large bociee OF troops

Presidents Peace Overtures
Most Difficult Diplomacy

ST. PETERSBURG, June $50 p.
m.-One of the highest Russian officials,
who speaks with full authority, said
this afternoon that the movement for
peace had begun.
I'VE have not yet received Japan S
terms" he said. Until we do it is i'm
possible to say whether the war is
drawing to an end.
Il can say definitely, however, that
an embryonic peace state has begun.
We hope it will develop normally.
THE danger is In eSaggerating such
incidents as the interview of Ambassa-
DOR Meyer, Of the United States, with
the Czar. The situation is SO delicate
that the slightest false move Will disar-
range the whole peace machinery
Good Words for President.
The significant change noticeable In
the attitude of government officials to-
ward America indicates that the gov
ernment is alive to the importance of
the position which President Roosevelt
has assumed in the peace question
Friendly expressions of opinion as to
the good faith of Washington are heard
il many quarters where a few days
ago America was called Japan's ally.
One official in an interview today
said:
president Roosevelt is now almost
the most important factor in the peace
negotiations. The Ca. and the Presi-
dent are performing one of the most
difficult feats of diplomacy ever at
tempted. President Roosevelt is con-
Quoting informal mediation negotiations
with almost as much force as If he were
an ofncial mediator.
Ice Is Broken.
There is no doubt that the President
has broken the ice. The question is
whether a sudden coolness may de-
yelop at Tsarskoe-Seio which will be
sufficient to freeze the opening again.
Il believe there Is a fair chance of Mr.
Roosevelt succeeding. l know the Car
has faith in him, which in itself is a
good aDSury.
THE status of the negotiations is kept
secret even from the highest officials al
