Oyama is known to, be prepared to strike the moment the negotiations fail, and there may be more or less " skirmishfng and outpost engagements while the troops are getting m position, but it is admitted on each side that if either Oyama or Linevitch should deliberately bring on a general en gagement, which might cost 50, 000 or 100,000 lives, his country would 5e accused of bad faith in the negotiations here and would in evitably lose prestige ia the eyes of the world. In the larger sense, therefore, it can be said that an ar mistioe alreadv exists in Mno.hnri&.
