Information has been received in London Vhich indicates that Russia in her reply to the last Japanese Note made no concessions on her original proposale, and that the Japanese Government are not prepared to :recede one step from the position adopted in the last Note to St. Petersburg. The Central News further states that the diplomatic relations between the two countries are almost at breaking point, and that the negotiations are for the moment in IUspense. This important announcement was con- veyed to a well-known diplomat by one of the interested parties, with the significant comment that war is inevitable."
