Secretary Hay's Body at Cleveland.
Cleveland, .Inly U. The special train
bearing the body of Secretar of Stae
John Hay arrived bore this morning.
The funeral party consisted of Mrs.
Hay, the widow; Clarence Hay, Dr.
Charles L. Scudder of Roston, who at
tended Secretary Hay during his Inst
Illness; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mather
of Cleveland, the latter a sister of
Mr. Hay, and S. A. Raymond, also a
relative of Mrs. Hay. The casket was
enclosed In a rosewood box. In which
It will repose until the funeral on
Wednesday. Mrs. Hay and Clarence
Hay stood the trying ordeal bravely,
although they showed plainly the ef
fects of the strain which tuny had
been under.
Many Messages of Condolence.
Washington, July 3. The high es
teem In which Secretary Hay was uni
versally held at home and abroad Is
manifested by messages which have
been received by the government and
Mrs. Hay since his death. They have
come from sovereigns, from foreign of
fices, from olllclals In the diplomatic
service anil from men In public and

ARMISTICE TO STOP FIGHT.
Negotiations Said to Be in Progress
at Washington.
St. Petersburg, July 3. Negotia
tions for an armistice between the
armies of Russia and Japan, it can be
definitely stated, are now In progress,
presumably at Washington, but they
have not reached a stage where any
further announcement can be made.
The decision seems to rest with Ja
pan, which country is weighing the
relinquishment of prospects of better
ing her present advantageous position
against the enormous cost In lives nnd
money of another great battle. The
chances for a decisive and final Japa
nese victory, it Is believed here, arc
no better now than before Mao Yang
nnd Mukden, and it Is pointed out that
It is idle to talk of Vladivostok falling
like a ripe apple Into Jnpan's hands
before the peace conference meets.
Boxer Indemnity Question Settled.
London, July 3. The correspondent
of the Times at Peking says: "The
Boxer indemnity question has been
settled. All tho powers have signed
a note accepting China's proposal to
consider the indemnity as a gold in
stead of a silver debt. The movement
for tho boycotting of American goods
Is subsiding owing to the action of the
authorities, whose desire to prevent
the Impairment of American good will
Is, beyond question, sincere."
Japs Advancing on Vladivostok.
London, July 3. The correspondent
of the Morning Post at Shanghai says
that the Japaneso are advancing on
Vladivostok and that a battle is immi
nent near the Turneu river.
