ILL FEELING lessons
QUALIFICATION OVER CORDIAL
WELCOME TO WITTE.
Questions of Indemnity and Control of
Sakhalin Island Still Considered
Stumbling Blocks.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 5.-6:45 p. M
The tone of the press today is more hope
full of peace than it was yesterday, M.
Whites welcome, coupled with other re-
ports from the United States. tending to
partially remove some of the Russian i'll
feeling arising from the belief prevailing
here that American sympathies are with
Japan.
There is noticeable more less talk of
possible Russo-Japanese alliance as the out
come of the peace negotiations.
The questions of an indemnity and Of the
control of the island of Sakhalin are still
considered to be stumbling blocks in the
way of an understanding. though the argu-
ment is hopefully reiterated in certain peace
quarters that President Roosevelt would
not have risked his prestige by a second
tender of good offices without having
learned the minimum Japanese demands
and the maximum Russian concessions and
without pretty clearly seeing his way by
his personal influence, to the putting aside
of whatever differences may bar the way
to the bringing about of peace.
Russia Needs Lasting Peace.
The Slovo says that Russia needs a last
ing peace and that such peace can only
cpme through an alliance with Japan. 1t
hopes that the special powers with which
M. Witte is invested will permit him to deal
with the question of possible alliance. but
deprecates the possibility masked by an in
demnity in connection with such an alli-
ance.
Japanese Warn Russians.
Static, Manchuria, August 5.-The
Japanese are throwing proclamations into
the Russian lines urging the Russians on
account of pending peace, not to undertake
reconnaissance, which would only result
in useless loss of life.
