From the actis-itydisplaj-ed at the  various Japanese prisons, it i-s evJ-  dently the intention to 'transport  the Port Arthur prisoners immediately from the wrecked port.  1 The plenipotentiaries of both  posvers 'have concluded negotiations.

Botih at the 'War .Office1  and sthe A'dinrralby, all talk 'of  the possibility of peace ;at such a|  time is meet svith an .expression of  indignation.
