st. Petersburg, March 25.-The in
formation contained in these dispatches
for over week regarding the change
in Emperor Nicholas attitude concerns
ing the ACCESSIBILITY. Of making pa
'cifio proposal to Japan, is fully con
firmed and in very high quarters peace
within six weeks is regarded as GER
tain. The positiveness with which
this is affirmed would indicate that
the government is already in posses
sion Of information as to the Japanese
terms, which indicate basis to which
Russia can agree.
Tho exact situation is shrouded in
mystery. The secret Of what has been
done and what is. being done is zeal
ously guarded. Tho Associated Press
hears, however, from a source close
10 the throne, that pourparlers are
actually in progress in Paris, but pos
sibIy only Of preliminary character,
and that Copenhagen may be the scene
Of the first exchanges between rep
'resentatives Of the two powers. In
this connection importance is being at
tached to the visit Of NJ. Diswolsky,
Russian minister at Copenhagen and
Baron Rosen, former Russian minis
t,r 10 Japan to N. Bompard, French
ambassador to Russia on Tuesday.
Parties to this conference refuse to ad-
nit that significance is attached to it.
In the meantime the foreign office is

Activity in MonsoIin-LuII in Fight
ina is Predicted.


st. Petersburg, March 25.-Linevitch
continues the retirement of the bulk
of his army northward. The general
staff now declares it is certain that
Oyama has been compelled to relin-
quish the idea of pursuit in force for

constitute serious danger, and lull
in the heavy fighting, for several
weeks, if not for months, is predicted
by some correspondents.
A Russian correspondent warns the
st. Petersburg authorities Of the dan
ger of Japanese activity in Mongolin,
where he says their emissaries are en-
listing the Lamas and arousing their
old warlike spirit.

nation that Russia's steps towards
peace have already taken tentative

within recent days at one of the small
capitals Of Northern Europe. The
purpose of this appears to have been
to bring together personages repre-.

peace, but to informally examine what
each side expected and what tentative
basis seemed possible. The nature of
this exchange does not warrant it's be-

DEFENDS WAR OFFICE.
Russian Army Organ Tells What Has
Been Done by Military.

Been Done by Military.
st Petersburg, March 25.-Stung by
wholesale criticism lately heaped upon
the war office for its unpreparedness
and incapacity in providing the Man
churian army with men, guns ana
munitions, the army organ today lays
bare what has been done since the op-
ening of hostilities, giving exact fig
ures. From these it appears up to
March IL, the war office had dis
patched 13.OS7 officers, 71,467 men,,
146,4OS horses, 1921 guns and 316,321
tons of munitions and supplies to the
front, declaring transportation strain
ed the Siberian railroad to it's utmost
capacity. The army organ admits the
army in the far east when the war op-
ened was hardly worth the name, and
no figures being given, but it is known
the troops did not exceed 10000 men,
defending this on the ground that the
emperor desired to avoid war and
therefore refrained from sending rein
forcements which surely would have
provoked it. Criticism of the war Of
fees failure to adequately supply Port
Arthur is met by the statement that it
was provisioned for a garrison of
twelve battalions, the decision to put
thirty battalions there being taken so
late the original calculations could
not be remedied. While affirming the
quick firing guns and field guns of the
Russians are superior to those of the
Japanese the war Office explains the
misfortune in the insufficiency of.
mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting a new pattern. It
is denied the war office was deceived
in regard to the available strength of
the Japanese army or organization Of
the Japanese reserves, but the army
organ frankly admits the talents Of the
officers and wonderful spirits Of, the
soldiers. were miscalculated. Publica-
ton of the article has created SEN
sation among military men and in
public circles, many of the former cen
suring the general staff for discussing
valuable military secrets, the latter
finding from the figures practical ad-
mission that the war has cost almost
half million men in killed and
wounded, prisoners and sick, as the
whole force effective in the far east is
now believed not to exceed 100000
men.
