Cape st. James, near here, the night
of May s. and left yesterday morning
at the request Of the governor OF

These cruisers, which brought In
structions for Nebogatoff, anchored
three or four miles off shore. A heavy
sea was running exposing a good deal
OF the warships' hulls, which were
quite free from barnacles or seaweed.
The ships appeared to have unusually
large crews OF men, who seemed Ia
good health. It is considered likely
here that Nebogatofrs division has
already passed the cape.

EntreatieS of Washington
for British Influence
Unayailing.
Great Britain Will Stand by Japan How
ever Severe the Terms Of Peace May
Be. Not Expected She Will Offer Ad-
vice Under Any Circumstances.

Washington, July 3O.--Japan comes
TO the Washington conference assured
that whatever are her peace terms, they
will have the sympathetic approval Of
Great Britain. Several suggestions from
Washington to LONDON that the cause Of
peace be received by an explanation to
Japan from her ally favoring the mod
Grafton of her demands upon Russia
have not availed a change with the
British government in its apparently un.
alterably determined to stand by ia
pan, however severe she makes her con
ditions of peace.
Nor has the British government seen
its way clear to render assistance to
Washington in the efforts which this
government is making to obtain an arm
istice until Japan is satisfied the Rus.
sian plenipotentiaries are prepared to
do more than to discuss the means of
ending the war; if Russia is ready to
conclude peace and has 50 empowered
her plenipotentiaries, Great Britain, it
is said might favor an armistice. but
even in this event she would, it is said,
not be willing TO offer Japan advice on
the subject.
As understood in Washington, Lord
Lansdowne's position is that, as a 10y
al ally of Japan, Great Britain can af.
ford TO take no step nor to assume any
attitude that would in the remotest de-
gree rebound to the advantage OF Japan's
enemy.
When Japan asks her ally for advice
the London government, it is said, is
prepared to Immediately give it, but
this advice will not be based on Japan.
ese interests as primary consideration.
Nor is this attitude on the part of
the London government misinterpreted
in Washington as indicating that its
officials do not share in the wish of the
neutral powers for peace.
1t has been made plain that the ac-
tivity of President Roosevelt has the
full sympathy of the British people, al
though their first thought it is de,
clared, must be in the interests of their
ally.
At the same time the London govern
ment, in its exchanges with the Amer.
lean embassy in London, has not hesi.

ans terms win. not be unreasonable,

was Just in time 10 meet Mr. Cole, who
had mounted the stairs In the hope of
catching his man up higher.
Cole grappled with the burglar and in
the struggle succeeded in punching him
in the jaw. Kellar fell 10 the floor OF
the stairs, where he lay stunned. Cole
jumped down the fight of stairs on top
OF him and held him to the floor and held
him down until the arrival OF Patrol

dubbed into submission, and fought
most of the way to the station.
Miss Selsenberg suffered more from
fright than from the bruises received
