Within the last few days the strongest pressure

Mr.. Take hira TO modify their decision. but TO no
effect The japanese reply to all such argu-
ments is that having entered into this agree
ment AT the suggestion of Russia il is not for
Japan 20 break it.
THE subject has never been seriously talked
Of said the informant of the Associated Press.
Il do not ssy that Baron Komura and Mr..
Takahira would change their positions, even
should N. Witte present the official protest of
which he says so much, but the presentation OF
such protest would, at any rate, give an op-
poIiUn.ty for serious discussion"
To the suggestion that American public
opinion might be alienated 10y the japanese
policy of silence In the face of the publicly eX-
pressed wish OF the Russians for publicity, the
reply is made:
We Go not seek to obtain public sympathy by
any such methods. American friendship, If II
be sincere, as we believe il is, will not be over
turned by the fact that Japan. after a solemn
compact entered into with Russia refuses. in
pursuance Of all international precedent, TO
make public the negotiations now in progress
