MAKES APPEAL FOR PEACEPresident's Note to Japan and Russia
in Interest tf Hajaanitv.AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE EXPECTED.President Roosevelt Confldeat That tils Efforts
to Bring the Belligerents Together Will BeSuccessful.The Czar Said ta Be Favorsblc
Negotiations Will Be Direct and Exclaslvc*ty Between the Belligerents.
Washington (Special)..P residentevelt, through the State Depart¬
ment, >ent identical notes to the Rus .ianand Japanese Governments, initiating themovement for peace.
Tile notes wer? lent through Amb.dor George van I.. Meyer and MinisterLloyd C. Griscom, and as soon aswas received from both of these repre¬sentatives that the note had been laidbefore each of the two Governmentsthe official announcement was made atthe White House. The word came firstfrom Ambassador Meyer and later fromMinister Griscom, the announcement be-ing withheld until 10.15 P. M.. until theAmerican Minister to Japan notified theState Department that he had laid thecommunication of this Government be¬fore the Japanese Government.
Secretary Loeb made the official an¬
nouncement as follows :
"On June 8 the following dispatchwas sent by the President, through diplo¬matic channels, to the Japanese andRussian Governments:"'The President feels that the time
has come when in the interest of allmankind he must endeavor to see if itIS not possible 10 bring to and end theterrible and lamentable conflict now be¬ing waged. With both Russia and Ja¬pan the United States has inherited ties ¡oí friendship and good will. It hopesfor the prosperity and welfare of each,and it feels that the progress of theworld is set back by the war betweenthese two great nations.
' 'The President accordingly urges theRussian and Japanese Governments, not ¡only for their own lakes, but in the in¬terest of the whole civilized world, toopen direct negotiation- for peace withone another. The President .-ne;that these peace negotiations be coo-ducted directly and exclusively betweenthe belligerents. In other words, thatthere may be a meeting of Russian andJapanese plenipotentiaries or delegateswithout any intermediary, in order tosee if it is not possible for these repre¬sentatives of the tWO powers to agreeto terms of peace.
" 'The President earnestly asks that theRussian and Japanese Governments do jnow agree to such meeting. While thePresident d ca not feel that any inter¬mediary should be called in respect tothe peace negotiations themselves, be mentirely willing to do what he properlycan if the two ¡lowers concerned feelthat his services will be of aid in ar¬ranging the preliminaries as to the timeand plaee oi meeting. Put if even thesepreliminary can be arranged directlybetween the two p I in any otherway, the President will be glad, as hilwhole purpose is to bring about a meet¬ing which the whole civilized world willpray may result in peace." "
The next Step, it the present one beuninterrupted, will be an armistice, fol¬lowed by direct negotiations, as sug¬gested in a message sent by the Presi¬dent to Tokio and S:. Petersburg. Pres¬ident Roosevelt, before leaving for Vir¬ginia, left instructions that the noteswere to be given out for publication assoon as word was received from theAmerican representatives al the twocap-litals that it had been transmitted to thetwo sovereigns. Word came Thursdayfrom Ambassador Meyer that the Czar1had received his, and ¡ate Friday thatit had been submitted to the Mikado.The publication of the notes shows offi¬cially that contact lias been establishedbetween St. Petersburg aid Tokiothrough Washington. It is a'so an offi¬cial indication that both of tne belliger¬ents have indicated a willingness to be¬gin the peace negotiations. PresidentRoosevelt s work, therefore, is finishedfor the time being, and when he lefttown he was removed, temporarily atleast, out of the situation, for it ¡s theparpóse of the belligerents themselvesto Settle the terms of peace.
Russia i> waiting for the Japanesegovernment to name the time and placefor the peace negotiations. It is re¬ported in St. Petersburg that the Czaris already cognizant of the chief condi¬tions to be imposed by Japan, and doesnot consider them too onerotts.Russian Foreign Office officials saythat the Czar will not name plenipo¬tentiaries in the first instance, SO as to
permit the reception of Japan's condi¬tions at any place named by Japan.Russia will then determine whether theyafford a basis for negotiations.
President Roosevelt returned to theWhite House from Virginia, but Secre¬tary Loeb announced that there wasnothing concerning peace negotiationsto be made public.
According, however, to a report inParis, the conditions of peace to beimposed by Japan include an indemnityof $650,000.000, a Japanese protectorateover Korea and Manchuria, the cessionof Port Arthur and part oí the tlärts-Manchurian Railroad to Japan, forfeit¬ure of the interned warship-, the with¬drawal of Russian warships from theFar Fast for a period of 2$ years andthe occupation of Vladivostok until allconditions are fulfilled.

The rapid-tire batteries were tan* but withapparently little effect on the Japaneseboats. Over the approaching torpiboats came a iiaii of 10 and 13-inch -hellsfrom the Japanese war vessels in thedistance. The torpedo-boats advaat full speed, one division going in awesterly and another in an easterly di¬rection. The Russian enlisera and bat¬tleships prepared to repel the attack.The cruisers manned their port batteriesand the battleships their starboard bat¬teries. No attempt was made to pre¬pare the batteries on the other side ofthe ships, and it was here the Russiansblundered.When the Japanese torpedo-boats came
within firing distance the Russians open«?ed tire. Then it was the JapaneseCUted a maneuver that threw the Rus¬sians into confusion. The two encircling¡mes met south <>i the Russians, but in¬stead of continuing in that direction theyturned at a signal from Togo and at fullspeed charged between the threeof Russian -hips, one division passingbetween the cruisers and the line of hos¬pital ships and transports, and anotherdivision passing between the transportsand the battleships on the other sirleThe Russian ships were unprepared foran attack of this character and for a timewer«- helpless against the discharge ofJap..*cse torpedoes. Hardly a cruiseror hattlship remained unscathed. TheRussians wsgg completely demoralized,and during the last dash of the torpedo-boats not a shot was tired to stop them.In the meantime, Togo, with his battle¬ships and cruisers, encircled the Russianfleet, and. with his big guns, completedthe work of destruction.
