THE WAR.

London, June 17. General Linevitch's whole army is completely enveloped, and the Japanese forces are tightening the circle around with even a greater degree of mobility than they displayed at the battle of Mukden. It is announced in St Petersburg that of all the hands aboard the battleships Imperator Alexander 11., Borodino, and Navarin, and the cruiser Kamschatka, only two sailors survived. PEACE PROPOSALS. London, June 18. Japan opposed an armistice unless adequate guarantees of Russian good faith are given,. Russia's reply specially intimated that she accepted President Roosevelt's proposal. The Daily Telegraph's St. Petersburg correspondent says General Linevitch and other generals' alleged joint message beginning a continuation of the war is a fabrication.
