GERMANY AND PEACE TERMS.
INTRIGCING AT ST. PETERSBURG.
[N.SJ. Pbess Assoolaxiox.— Cofxbiohx.]
Ihe general view of the correspondents at Port Arthur inclines to the belief that the surrender of the position was premature, and "disgracefully" premature. Its unpopularity with the rank and file of the garrison is shown by the fact that it was immediately followed by a general mutiny and an outbreak of the most complete lawlessness. One of the correspondents holds that the effective troops at the close of the siege could not have numbered less than 31,000. The "Daily Telegraph's" correspondent at St. Petersburg states that Germany is seeking to make an agreement with Russia and France in order to beat down Japan's peace terms. News from the main armies is scanty, and only announces the return of the raiding Russians and the arrival of Field Marshal Oyama's big guns. •
