PEACE OraOOK (ilflOMY Both Sides Refuse to Compromise on Remuneration to Japan. GLOOMY OUTLOOK. A despatch from Portsmouth, N.II., suys: Thursday's developments iiiarked the beginning of the crisis in the negotiations. The main point •discussed was the remuneration pro- posal of Japan. Kach side clung tenaciously to its position, and it became apparent that there was no rhyme or reason in the further dis- cussion at this time. Then came the question ol Japan's demand "for the possession of the Itussian ships Interned at American and Chinese ports, hut there was such a diver- gence of views that the envo.vs de- cided to lay it aside temporarily, •without recording .that they w.ro unable to agree. There was some discussion of Japan's insistence up- on the limitation of Ru.ssia's naval armament in the Far lOa-steru wat- ers. TIIE INDKMNITY DKADLOCK. The worst feature of the situation is the deadlock upon the question of indemnity. M. de Witto apparently believes that there is no hope of a compromise. His instructions from St. I'etersburg are all in lino with the original liussian programme, that not n penny must bo paid to Japan to .secure immunity from fur- ther hostilities on the part of the â- victorious army of Oyama. 'I'he Eussian envoys think they have al- ready gone far enough to .satisfy the most exacting enemy wh-.i had won many battles, but had not conquer- ed. They believe that Japan *vill no' be sati.slie<l with less than the payment of several hun<lred million dollars by lUi.ssia, and they vow and declare that not a cent of this .shall be paid. As for the Japanese, it Is contend- ed they are ociually determined to go on with the war if liu.ssia does not consent to remunerate thorn for What they have spent in prosecuting the conflict. Japan must have mon- ey, it is held, and her only way to accuro it is at thij expense of her op- ponent. If the Russians aro as iirm as they sny they are in their decis- ion not to pay indemnity, and tha Japane.se as lirui as they are repre- sented to bo in their decision to ad- here to their demand for pa.vment, then the -jig is up, and there will bo no peace.

A despatch to the London Tele- graph from Moji, Japan, suys that Con. Linevitch has completed hia de- fence works. His troops now num- ber 500,000 men. Now that the rainy season is over and movements are again possible, tho Russians are making reconnaissances iu force, but by no means intend to take the of- fensive before llie peace negotiations reach a detinito issue.
