Company L of tills place has had n

him out of the \\atcir. Ho was consid

who saw the man shoot to the surface
zay that ho was thiown twenty teet

THEIR OPINIONS DIVIDED
Some Diplomats at Washington Doubt
Early Termination of the War.
Washington , March 2C While
keenly interested in the interpretation
placed by Parie on tht biguiflcunce
of tbo resumption of the negotiations
of tbo Russian loan , European diplo
mats at Washington confessed that
they wore inclined to regard this step
AS a further confirmation of official
news which has reached the United
States within the last twenty four
hours that the emperor Is absolutely
determined to continue the war for
the present. If Paris financiers , as
reported , bavo declined to take up
the loan save on condition that the
proceeds shall not go toward tbo war
fund , olllcial Washington , with the ex
ception of the Russian cmbabsy , believes -
lieves that this important fact marks
tlio beginning of peace negotiations.
Count Casbinl , Russian ambassador ,
expressed the belief that no Inference
that peace was In sight could bo
drawn from the reopening of Iho ne
gotiations. Ho learned several days
ago that the loan would bo succcbs-
fully floated and while he Is aware of
the dcslro among some French finan
ciers that the war como to an arly
ending , ho scouts the idea that such
a condition has been attached to the
loan. Most Washington diplomats
who arc In a position to fol.ow the In
side workings of the European chancelleries
cellories , believe that peace Is now
possible. As ono diplomat expressed
It : "If the matter can be approached
In a way that will not too seriously
embarrass Russia , I have reason to
believe that peace proposals will ro-
celvo serious consideration at St.
Petersburg. "
