that there was a desire to conclude
peace at any price manifested In off,
oial circles, cables the Paris CORE
spondent OF the Herald. According to
Ambassador Mccormick no such desire
exists In st, Petersburg.
"on the contrary in official circles
there Is" said he, "a general desire
to continue the war to the bitter end,
and there are great hopes that Admiral
Rojestvensky will meet the Japanese
fleet and gain a victory which may In
one day change the entire aspect of the
war.
"All the hopes of Russia are now
centered in that fleet and its encounter
with the Japanese squadron is looked
forward to with confidence.
Reports OF an intervention in the
matter are without the slightest foun-
dation.'
