being considered as a particularly de-
sirable location for the peace confer
enee and it is regarded as not unlikely
that The Hague may might be agreed
upon by the belIigerents.
It is pointed out that fomal armistice
between the two great armies facing
each other on the plains Of Manchuria
hardly will be arranged until the peace
conference shall take definite form. The
suggestion is made. however, that in
view of the pending negotiations neither
the Russian nor the japanese govern
ment would permit another general en-
Gagement to occur.
The subject Of the pending negotia-
tions was considered in an informal
way at the cabinet meeting today, the
president receiving the congratulations
Of the members Of his cabinet on the
result Of his negotiations Assurance IS
given that no important decisions bear
ing upon the negotiations were reached.
Roosevelt F'ayors Manchuria.
= st. Petersburg. June 13.-6:12 p. NJ
At six o'clock the foreign Office made
the following announcement to the As
sociated Press:
Japan has not yet informed US where
and when she desires US to meet her
plenipotent1aries but we may receive
her communication at any moment"
The Associated Press understands that
the issue now being decided is not only
the place Of the Russo-Japanese ne
gotiations but the number of negotiators
and it is believed another feature not
yet disclosed. Unless Japan suggests
Paris or Mukden rather than any Euro
pean capital, Washington is likely to
be selected. Russia appreciates the ad-
vantage of the negotiations taking place
beyond the sphere of outside influences
and If President Roosevelt is asked to
decide the question in case the bellig
erents cannot agree it is considered GER
tain that he will not hesitate to do so.
Indeed, it is the understanding here
that the president as previously set forth
in the dispatches while not urging his
view has already pointed out to both
countries the advantages of Manchuria.

DON'T LIKE WASHINGTON.
Peace Managers Regard 1t as Too He
for Deliberations


Washington, June 13.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador called at the
White House last night by appointment
to discuss with the president the selec-
ton of place for the peace conference.
This subject had been discussed by the
president in his conference with the
Japanese minister during the afternoon.
Count Cassini learned from the presi-
dent Japan's views about this also the
number of plenipOtentiaries Upon his
return to the embassy the ambassador,
1t is understood, gave the information
to his government One point Count
Cassine not feeling at liberty to discuss
and that is the undesira bleness of
Washington for a midsummer confer
ence. What else was talked about at
the conference is not known Count
Casino not feeling at liberty to discuss
his visit in any particular Nor is it
known whether the ambassadors ver-
bal though thoroughly official assur-
ances were presented in writing.
It Is understood in a high official
quarter here that Marquis Ito, Baron
Komura, minister for foreign affairs
and General Yamagata, chief of staff,
are the three under consideration by
the emperor as MISUNDERSTANDING and
that the inclination OF the beIligerents
is that each select two opelnipOtentiatrie

eial confirmation.
Elimination of Washington as the
probable choice of the belligerents for
their place OF peacemaking would not
preclude the selection of an American
city. Briefly the situation is this:
Japan does not wish Paris, and Rus
sia is unfavorable to Mukden or Che
foo. Both are opposed to Washington
for climatic reasons, though neither
would oppose the selection of an Ameri-
can watering place, and among these
already mentioned are Newport and
Manchester-by- by-the-Sea. This idea is
especially favored among the represen-
tatives of the neutral power, who es-
tablish their embassies and legations in
New England for the summer. Of the
places under consideration in Europe it
is said Russia might accept The Hague.
Geneva is also considered and it. would
not be Objectionable to Japan A long
conference at the Russian embassy be-
tween Mr.. Van Windering, the Neither
land minister and Count Cassini. the
Russian ambassador, strengthened the
belief that Russia was seriously consid-
ering the selection of The Hague for
the scene of the negotiations. A point
realized by the representatives of both
belligerents here, and which has been
emphasized, is that in order to take
advantage of the presidents offer to
give any advice or assistance that
might be solicited the selection of an
American city for the conference would
facilitate the negotiations in keeping in
close touch with the president.

America is passing out into its

Sary to exaggerate to make our eastern
