PEACE RUMORS IN
ST. PETERSBURG
Moment 0pportune if Japan Would
Make Proposition.
COUNT CASSINI'S OPINION
VIEW OF JAPANESE MINISTER
AT WASHINGTON.

st. Petersburg, March II, p NJ
While the air is full of peace rumors
following the Russian defeat, there is
undoubtedly necessity for massing a
new army at Hardin if the war is to
be continued. Neither Emperor Mich
olas nor the government have taken
a step in the direction of peace, and
probably they viii require several days
TO reach d decision on this point. The
report that France has already been
asked to intervene is, however, posi-
lively untrue.
The Associated Press is enabled to
make the following statement:
The moment might prove opportune,
but the question of peace lies with
Japan and not with Russia. Russia
would welcome peace. and peace could
be arranged, not through a third pow
er, but by direct negotiations between
the two countries, ii Japan would pro-
pose moderate terms. AS the victor,
Japan is in a position to take the first
step Russia cannot and Will not sue
for peace. Neither could she accept
terms which did not recognize Russia
as power in the far east. 1t is Idle
to speculate on the concrete terms. The
only thing is that Russia'S position in
the far east must be recognized.
Friends OF peace throughout the world
should use their influence with Japan.
The victor should show moderation
Otherwise no end of the war is in
sight"

Minister Takahira's View of the
Prospect of Peace.

Washington, March 11.-With Muk-
den as his new base, Marshal Oyama
has determined to push northward in
the direction of Hardin with large
part of his army in the effort to fol-
low up his recent victory as rapidly as
possible and accomplish his one great
purpose of administering a really
crushing defeat to General Kuropat-
kin. This information has reached
Washington from an authoritative
source and accurately sets forth the
present programme of the Toxic war
Office. After receiving several cable

Hay. AS he was leaving the depart

den would have upon the ultimate is

retreat. The only official news he has
received in the last few days from his
government regarding the operations is
contained in a brief cablegram which
came last night, saying that General

of fierce fighting.
The ambassador, however, was &C
quainted several weeks ago with the
final decision OF the emperor that Rus
STA would continue the war until Rus
sian arms were victorious, regardless
of the time it would require, and al
ready preparations are being made for
large reinforcements TO General ku-

Paris, March 1.-THE Temps, which
usually reflects the sentiment in Off

ing editorial this afternoon, appealing
to Russia to accept the inevitable and
make the best terms possible The pa
per declares that Russia's sacrifice will
be less than that of France at the end
Of the FrancO-German war, as France
struggled against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of her own country, whereas Russia
struggled to hold Manchuria, which
she has formally promised to return
to China. Moreover, the battle of Muk-

vantage, and therefore self interest de-
mands that Russia recognize her de-
feat and abandon the struggle The

The overwhelming majority of
French public opinion, resOlutely at

Tie Pass, Manchuria, Friday, March
1o.-C1:3 a. n.)-Just before shutdown
Thursday the duststorm, which had
been hanging like pail over the bat
tlefield, lifted and the artillery imme
dfately reopened fire, the bombardment
having died down to almost nothing
during the day, both sides of the tired
armies having rested while the weird
haIf-glOom lasted, although the Japan
csc evidently took advantage of the OBJ
security to improve their positions.
A strange uncanny stiffness prevailed
in the city of Mukden during the storm.
All noise was hushed. the streets were
empty and many shops We're closed.
The Chinese were appalled, by the prOX-
unity of the artillery fire and the terri
flying gloom which seemed to forebode
the coming of evil.
General Kuropatkin had held all his
positions for two days, actually push
ing back the japanese north of the i'm
Perial tombs. which were no longer
reached by the enemy's shells. The
sacred ground remained guarded
against vandalism by a few Russian
sentries. On Thursday evening General
Rennenkampff made a counter-attack
on the japanese and took three ma
chine guns. He then retired from his
strong position at Machuntan and fell
back, making a stand in the hills sew
eral miles south of Fushun.
Immediately south of Mukden the
japanese reached the head of the
bridge over the Hun river.
The Japanese left is still reported to
be working north, and the sound of ar
tillery fire is increasing IN that direc-
ton.

nightfall Thursday seemed good. with
