welt made no request for an armistice."
Inquiry was made Of Mr.. Sato as to
the attitude of the japanese on the
question of IN armistice and he re-
piled:
Japan is perfectly willing to agree
to an armistice after the credentials OF
both commissions have been examined
and verified.
However, | think an armistice will
be agreed upon after the commissions
enter FORMALLY upon Iuelf WOfh. 1t
has been the custom in all peace nego-
tiations to cease hostilities during the
convention of peace plenipotentiaries.'

rite powers of the members of his COM
mission, and he said:
They have power to reject any pro-

Japanese Do Not Expect Russians I
Make a Long Stand.

Toxic, July 2S.-Friday. 6 D.. M
Luikoff, on Sagalien island, to which
point the Russians retreated is some
thirty miles southeast OF Alexandrovsk
beyond a range Of hills separating the
Alexandrovsky district from the plains.
Here the Russians are completely iso-
lated, owing to lack of roads. i. is i'm
possible for them to make a long stand
and it is expected that thew will soon
be subdued. A victory over them will
make the japanese virtual masters of
the whole island. There is great re-
joicing at Toxic over the success of the
Sagalien expedition, and the landing at
hrestakamp lighthouse is regarded as
the first entry of the japanese army
into Russian territory proper.
