AL
PLACE OF PEACE
MEETING, LIKELY
ington the Most
Acceptable
The Hague and Geneva Are Also
Offically Known to he Under Con
sideration, But Washing
ton Stands Best
WTashington, D. C, June 15.
Gradually the negotiations of peace
in the Far East are nearing a focus.
4
The " one point to which the energies
of ; these directly concerned in them
are now being directed in a place for
the holding of the conference of the
plenipotentiaries of the belligerent
powers.
It is known officially that three cit
ies are now under consideration ,by
Russia and Japan. These cities, nam
ed In the order of the likelihood of
their ' final selection, are Washington,
The Hague and Geneva.
Thus far' no decision has been reach
ed.. Paris and London have 'been
eliminated from the equation. It is
understood that the Russian govern
ment objects to any Asiatic city, its
preference being for some European
capital. After objecting to the hold
ing of the conference in Paris, the
Japanese government expressed a will
ingness -to consider places, which, af-
forded adequate facilities, although it
is.assured that Japan's . preference
would be some far Eastern city, prac
tically witljin the theatre of war.
"Finally, however, the selection
Seems' to have. narrowed down to the
three cities named. However, as the
situation now is, Washington appears
to be the city most likely to, be selec-
tor? Tf
r a n ' h p feat if g-r n n t p xit
that if the conference is held in the
United States, it will be in Washing
ton.! No other place in the"country
has been considered seriously.
After the selection of the place, of
meeting of the plenipotentiaries, the
two governments will name those
who are to represent them at the con-
Jference. Then an armistice between
the contending armies in the field will
be arranged, and pending the result
of the peace conference, the great
armies facing each other in Manchur
ia will lie on their arms awaiting the
final decision from their governments

RUSSIANS SINK
BRITISH VESSEL
Steamer St. Kilda Sent
to the Bottom
St. Kilda Was Sunirby Russian Aux
iliary Cruiser SinKing of the
St. Hilda Has Caused Ex
v citement,tn London.
London, June . 15. A considerable
stir has been created in shipping cir
cles as a result of the sinking of a
British steamer St. Kilda by the Rus
sian auxiliary cruiser Dnieper in the
China sea. The few details obtain-4
able regarding the -sinking of the
British steamer St. Kilda by the Rus
sian auxiliary cruiser Dnieper show
that, the St. Kilda was captured by
the Dneiper June 4, about 50 miles
from Hong-Kong, at which port she
was last reported. She was sunk by
the cruiser on the following day on
the' ground that she had contraband
of war on board, after the crew and
mails had been removed. The cargo
of the St. Kilda consisted chiefly of
jute, rice and cotton. The Dneiper
transferred to the Dutch steamer
Flores in the Straits of Malacca, forty-one
of the'Chinese crew of the St.
Kilda and the mails belonging to
that steamer, but the captain, ten
Europeans and the Chinese steve
dores who had charge of the Chinese
portion of the chrew of the St. Kilda
were detained on board the Dneiper.
The torpedo - failed to sink the
steamer. so the Dneiper opened fire
!n her. A dozen shots were fired by
the K cruiser before the St. Kilda sank.
The foreign office has been bom
barded with telegrams from the own
ers from the ship and . cargo urging
that action in the matter be taken.
The-foreien. office ia awaitinsacrrrrtsr
but in the meantime has drawn the
attention of the Russian government
to the reports so far as received. It
is pointed out that the present case
is entirely different from that of the
British steamer Oldhamia, which
was captured as the Russian fleet
was about to enter Japanese waters,
and might have conveyed information
to the Japanese. The St. Kilda, on
the other hand, could npt have im
parted information damaging to the
Russians, whose fleet had already
been destroyed or scattered. The Rus
sians are expected to contend that
the St. Kilda was carrying contra
band and that they, were unable" to
take her to a Russian port.
