Why Japan Yielded.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 81. The fol-
lowing statement Of the Japanese argu-
ment which governed their decision to
waive the question of indemnity can
be accepted as authoritative: Japan
realized fully she was making q sac
rifice for peace, but she was looking
to the future. 1t was not question
of whether the war could be success
fully continued, but of whether peace
was not now more advantageous to
Japan. Japan had already gained all
she fought for. 1t was only the "spoils
of war" that remained, and having
achieved the real objects Of the war
she could afford to forego the spells
rather than be placed in the position
of fighting for money. While Japan
believed she was entitled to the spoils,
she felt that her position was so
strong, her successes so complete, that
she could yield without detracting
from the force of her victory.

through Baron Komura her willing
ness for an arlnistice, Mr.. White, sup
posed Friday that he would find them
ready to sign. Baron K0mura ex-
planned that while his government was
ready to consent to an armistice, his
instructions were that this should not
take effect until after the signing of
the treaty. The discussion lasted for
half an hour, the Russian position be-
ing that Japan's contention was with
out precedent, and that IL the armis-
tice was not to take effect until the
signing of the treaty, it was practical
ly unnecessary. However, the Japan
csc were insistent and an agreement
was accordingly entered into, provid-
ing for an armistice which shall take
effect the moment the treaty Is signed.
Effect Of the Armistice..
The effect of an armistice con-
cluded Friday is that it becomes op-
erative only upon the signature of the
treaty by the plenipotentiaries and
continues until the final exchange of
ratification of the emperors Of the
two countries. It is for this reason
that the plenipotentiaries who will
themselves convey to atheirTfespective

which to become binding must receive
the signatures Of their respective

earliest possible date, foregoing the
invitations which have
been showered upon them.

We hear much nowadays about disre-

it is no more brutal and much less harm

MRS. DAVIS WANTS LETTERS.
Asks Gen. Miles to Produce or Refrain
from Talking.

In letter published at Savannah, Ga,
recently Mrs. jefferson Davis calls
upon Gen. Nelson A. Miles to produce i'll
full the Photographic letter which he
says he received from her, thanking him
for his care of the president of the con-
federacy, or to cease his references to it,
to justify his treatment of the president
of the confederacy when Miles held
Davis prisoner. This demand on Gen.
Miles is:
As | understand it, Gen. Miles claims he
has such note in his possession. l have
not the least memory of having written
such a note to him. 1t is conceivable that.
whilst ignorant of the facts OF hopeful of
gaining some improvement in the treatment
of my husband, | may have made some
acknowledgment of what | may have con.
strued as common humanity at time
when, had | known the facts as they eX-
isted l never could nor would have written,
save In indignant protest.
Forty years have passed since Gen. Miles
perpetrated the cruelties for which he now
is undergoing some measure of p niShment
at the hands of his own public. During
that period he has not hesitated to shift
the responsibility for his act upon others.
The publication of instructions under
which he claims to have acted and the cor
respondence which led up 70 them long
since have convinced every candid mind
that his treatment of Mr. Davis was graf
tuitous and neither was justified nor re-
quired by the orders of his superiors. 1t
long since has appeared conclusyely that
ne invited authority TO 40 WnaI he knew 10
be unnecessary and cruel. He perverted in
structioDs which he did receive into license
to intlict indignity and needless suffering
upon a helpless prisoner overwhelmed by
misfortune and in the agony of physical
pain.
Public attention cannot be detected from
the terrible charges under which Gen. Miles
rests by the controversy over a letter con-
corning even the existence of which no
stronger proof is advanced than the bare
assertion of Gen. Miles. But insofar as 1t
may be of any Importance. my estimate of
Gen. Miles character is such that l am
constrained to demand that if the letter
exists a Photographic reproduction, showing
the date, place, writing. contents, and sig
nature, be given the public.
Awakened to the Nervousness of his con-
duct by closer association with educated
gentlemen. he doubtless feels the shame
which stahs and clings to him now that the
passions attendant upon the war are pass
ing away. and he stands forth revealed to
his c0untrymen in his true light We are
cautioned in holy writ not IL Bring trailing
accusation against any sinner" however
great his fault. and l do not desire any
controversy with any one, ad especially not
with one whose perceptions of truth are 50
vague and misty.
