st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-The Rus
sian governments final communica-
tions to M. Witte, outlining the course
that he shall pursue at the reopening

are still in process of being put into

tersburg's last message, the brief
breathing spell will have ended. St.
Petersburg leaves a final word with
her representatives at Portsmouth.
Sincere Desire for settlement.
When the nature of these communi-
cations become generally known, it will
be seen that in a sincere desire to eff
feet satisfactory settlement, the gov
ernment has gone as far as Its extreme
II vital state interests will permit It
can further be said that for this reason
the government is firmly convinced
that in case of failure of the negotia-
tions, the responsibility will not rest
with Russia, which has conceded much
already.
Nothing Actually Known.
While it is impossible to learn the
actual contents of the governments S
communication to NJ Witte, it can be
declared that the requirements of the
state make concessions on the questions
of indemnity and Sakhalin. as these
questions were originally presented by
the japanese, impossible.
It is certain that in the matter of
concession, the four points now in dis
pute have been considered and studied

already has granted on the other eight
articles,
