TERMS MAY BE MODIFIED.
Belief That Both Sides Nay Find
Ground for Il greement.
CBy the Associated Press3

Portsmouth n. H. Aug S.-The present pro-
granrne for the first meeting is that there shall
be present only the four plenipotentiaries and
possibly a Russian and a japanese secretary.
The remainder of the missions Will remain at
the Wentworth. Negotiations for this meeting
were conducted between the plenipotentiaries
direct. without the assistance of Mr.. Peirce or
any other official of the Washington govern
ment. The subject taken up to-day at the
luncheon. and later the details were arranged.
1t is not unlikely that several of the attaches
OF the two missions may be called in the after
noon for consultation. Whatever may be the
outcome Of the negotiations, 1t is believed there
wifi be at least two meetings. In official circles
here the belief is that. although tonight on the
verge OF the first meeting the two missions ap
pear far from agreement, once the plenipoten-
tiares are in the conference room the position
of each will be greatly modified. and that they
viii make earnest effort to come to terms
Already on the eve of the meeting there is evil
dence that the apparent indifference to the out
come which has been shown in the last week
by members OF both missions is passing away
Although she has prepared an irreducible min
imum Japan will not present this in such a form.
There will be demands in the Japanese pro-
gramme which her plenipotentiaries are en-
powered to modify--in short Baron Komura
and Mr.. Takahira will present Japan's pro-
gramme in as diplomatic a form as possible
The terms will be called bases for negotiations
rather than demands. and while it has been
made plain already that Japan will not play
diplomacy at the conference, her plenipoten-
tiaries. it is pointed out. intend to conduct the
negotiations as automatically possible.
On the other hand the Russians reiterate that
they will have no trouble in reaching an agree
ment provided Japan's terms appear to them
reasonable. But added member of the Rus
san san mission tonight Japan must remember
that we were not forced to these negotiations:
we nave the alternative of continuing the war
lndehnite!y without the prospect of loss OF ter
ritory. We have come to the Washington con-
ference because of a real desire for peace but
not because we are unable or unwilling TO con-
tnue the war indefinitely"

MAY APPEAL TO WITTE.
Je7os Uncertain Whether 1t Would
Hetp Their Race.

Inc presence In the United States Of Sergius
"ltte' RUSSIAN peace envoy, is responsible for a
lively debate among the Jews of the East Side
Many or the more orthodox and conservative
among the latter are in favor of sending a repre-
sentative to NJ Witte with an appeal for the
amehoraton of thei brethren's condition in
Russia, while the radicals. imbued with the spirit
Of revolution, are opposed to such a step
Those who favor the proposition are encouraged
by the knowledge that NJ. Witte is personally
friendly to the Jews.
The advisability of an appeal has even become
the subject of a controversy between the Yiddish
newspapers one of which is inviting the votes
OF its readers the question One of these dailes
suggests that the intervention of President Roose-
velt might nave great weight with NJ. Witte.
BY the Russian Jews the question is naturally
considered OF great Importance. With the
ring anti-JewtSh outbreaks in the Cars domain
in mind and the tales Of suffering that come with
every mail from Russia, the desire to take advan-
tage of Whites visit TO this country is strong.

JAPANESE AGAIN LAND.
Port Imperator, South of Castries
Bag, Captured.

Toxic, Aug. S-The Navy Department an
nounces that force of Japanese landed at Port
Imperator, 100 miles south of Castries Bay
Siberia. and captured the lighthouse keeper, but
released him and allowed him to continue his
duty The lighthouse guard fed inland without
making any resistance.
When the Japanese first landed at Castries
Bay they captured two bronze S-centimetre
guns, with which the fleeing Russians were
bombarded.
The withdrawal of the Japanese from Port Cas-
tries and the landing of a force at a point $50
miles south of that harbor may mean that Ad-
miral Kamimura is moving his warships Iesurely
south along the coast between Saghalien and Lii
IBERIA, with the intention of seizing A bay north
Of Vladivostok, where troops could be landed TO
take part in the siege OF the fortress. 1t is also
possible that the capture of Port Imperator
