RUSSIA MUST

japanese Peace Terms to be Made
Known to Gear August 5.
KNOWN TO FRIENDLY POWERS

Washington, July 27. Whether
there is to be peace in the Far East
or a continuance of the war will be
practically decided at the first busi-
ness meeting of the Washington con-
ference. which will convene at the
navy yard, Portsmouth. N. H.. about
August 5. Baron Komura will on that
occasion communicate to NJ. Witte the
essentials of Japan's peace terms for
further negotiations. This, II is de-
clared, will not be done in spirit OF
defiance. Indeed, there are many evil
dences in the possession of the neu-
tral governments that Japan is COM
ing to the Washington conference not
imbued with a desire to humiliate Rus
sia, but only to exact terms which will
insure lasting peace in the Far East
and which will in a measure compen-
safe Japan for the financial losses In
the present conflict
Throughout the preliminary negotia-
tions. however. Japan has made 1t
clear at Washington that she wished
to avoid unnecessarily tedious negotia-
tions.
Although guarding with great care
the official statement of her terms.
Japan has not kept from several
friendly governments the general char
acter of these terms.
Oficial Washington has been en-
abled to form within certain limits a
general idea of their character.
II is known that Japan will demand
an indemnity that will approximately
cover the cost of the war to date. This
was communicated to Russia early in
the preliminary negotiations. The
amount is still a secret, but it is based
upon the most careful estimates of the
cost of the war. and will be accom-
panied by a more or less detailed
statement showing the method by
which the final figures were computed.
II will not fall far short of 1000. .000.-
900. according to advices reaching
here from we'll informed sources Be
sides the indemnity il is believed. ia
pans other essentials to the continu-
ance Of the negotiations are the cession
to Japan of Sakhalien. of the Lao
Tung peninsula and of the railway as
far as Harbin: the recognition of ia
pans predominating influence in
Korea. and the return of Manchuria to
China.
II the Russian plenipotentiaries are
prepared to accept these essentials. the
