Linevitoh and Vladivostok would be strengthen ed with munitions and supplied to withstand a-siego. • Indeed, it if suggested that Japan deliberately plauned to postpone the meeting long enough to give Oyafna a chance to ad minister to the Russians a fueh defeat on land in order to rob the war party in Russia of their last oard and facilitate acquiescence to her terms. THE JAPANESE ADVANlNOj RUSSIANS FALLING BACK Washington, June 61.—It it intimated* in official circle! here that negotiations are proceeding looking to an armistice between Japan and Russia. The stumbling block in the way of an armistice appears to be that neither belligerent is, willing to take the initiative. The-present negotiations cousist of an effort to sound one or both government as to their willingness to agree to tin armistice. The feeling in offioial oiroles here is strongly in, favor of a ces sation of hostilities ns it it believ ed that a-clash before the conven ing of the peace conference,WQuld hamper the work.of the plenipot entiaries and might prove a serious menace to their efforts for peace. If the Czar ever gets another navy he will propably use it to preserve peace instead of Bending 1 it out to hunt trouble.
