Washington reports indicate the Czar has instructed Russian ambassadors in Washington and Paris to seek peace terms from Japan. President Roosevelt’s mediation and goodwill are credited with spurring negotiations. Officials expect a formal term sheet after Meyer’s ciphered dispatches arrive, with rapid moves likely once terms are defined.
First definite move toward peace negotiations urged
A Taarskoe-Seln meeting prompted telegraph instructions to Russian ambassadors seeking Japan's peace terms. President Roosevelt's efforts enter a new phase as Meyer's audience with Tsarskoe-Selo and talks with Hardinge raise prospects for peace talks, though no clear change in the war’s course is seen.
Roosevelt as friendly channel in Russo Japanese talks
Washington dispatch says preliminary peace talks between Russia and Japan are believed under way with President Roosevelt likely to act as a friendly channel. No official admission of Russia accepting the goodwill offer, but a long dispatch was delivered to the Russian Embassy and Cassini’s message is the focus. No appointment yet for Cassini to meet the President, though a meeting could occur soon. Continued on second page.
