EARLY PEACE.
Berlin Believes It VIII Come
Within the Month.
Only the Gar Himself Now
Stands Out Against 1t.


Berlin, April 5.=Peace at an early
date is regarded as probable by the
German EN- bassy at St. Petersburg,
the Associated Press is informed and
in consequence of dispatches received
from there by the government during
the last three days this opinion cir
cuIates in official circles for the first
time since the war began. The Rus
sian emperor, it is true, has not yet
decided for peace but the grand dukes
and all or practically all the members
of the court, who have access to the
emperor are for peace.
His majesty is described in the
gossip that goes about here as stand
ing alone irresolutely. Considerations
that still delay his decision are per-
sonaI ones, he feeling that his reign is
failure if Russia does not win the
war and that his prestige as a, SOW
ereign will be lost at home and in
foreign countries, but he can not yet
bring himself to speak the word that
will set the peace negotiations in mo-
ton Much good viii and sympathy
are felt for the Russian emperor in
higher official life here, but it is re-
garded as a certainty that he must
yield to his family and ministers and
that the month viii not end without
peace. In the meantime the prospects
of peace and uncertainty of the en-
peror weakens the military admins
tration and delays the execution of
plans for fresh arms and the gather
ing of new supplies.

The employers frankly admit that it

BURIED IN RUINS.
Many Persons Lost Their Lives by
the India Earthquake.

Lahore. India, April 5.-The hill sta
ton of Dharmsala. was practically razed
to the ground by the earthquakes. The
native quarter was entirely obHterated,
many of the inhabitants were buried in
the ruins, most of the houses in the
European quarter were wrecked and
nine persons were killed. The people
are sleeping in the open air, food is not
procurable and the great distress pre-
vaiIing is accentuated by keen frost
The entire population is homeless and
encamped on the adjoining hillsides
without protection and practically with
out medical aid. A relief party was dis
patched from here to Dharmsala today.
The Europeans killed at Dharmsala
were Mrs. Robinson, wife of the colonel
commanding the troops there and her
two daughters, Mrs. Holderness, Cap
tain Muscroft and four members Of the
Indian civil service.
Seventy natives were killed and many
were injured when the native quarter
of Lahore was demolished.
