Divergence at Conference Over Sakhalin Division and Indemnity
The Saturday conference reportedly signed protocols and agreed to meet again at Baron Komura's request. President Roosevelt reportedly conveyed the czar's ultimatum to Ambassador Meier: no indemnity, but division of Sakhalin with Japan and maintenance costs for prisoners. Tokyo opposition grows as papers oppose division and demand indemnity. Some Japanese insist on keeping Sakhalin and reject any concession, arguing the island is theirs by conquest. It is unclear if the president will renew efforts.
