Roosevelts Peace Push Through Meyer to Russia
A dramatic White House effort to end Far East hostilities centers on Ambassador Meyer’s audience with Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof. Roosevelt’s cable to Meyer seeks direct Russian acceptance of peace measures. Japan may propose indemnity terms and Sakhalin purchase with tribunals to settle price. Meyer’s Peterhof talk follows adjournment news and signals renewed hope for a compromise at the Portsmouth conference.

Russia declares indemnity payment for Japan impossible
St Petersburg reports the Associated Press stating Russia will never consent to Japan’s indemnity demand. Officials say accepting any indemnity would threaten state vitality and Portsmouth peace hinges on Japan withdrawing that claim. Russia would pay for Russian prisoners but not indemnity, and negotiations risk failure if indemnity persists.
