The correspondent adds that Prince Adelbert is reported as predicting, presumably as a price of German good will, that the whole province of Shantung will become German territory. N KOREA THE BATTLEGROUND. In Event of War First Combat Will Be Fought Near Seoul. In the event of war between Russia and Japan the contending armies would probably fight the first battle some- | where near Seoul, the capital of Korea. The seaport nearest Seout is Chemulpo, distant twenty-seven miles. An electric railway, buiit in American style, con- nects the seaport with the capital. There is a strong.impression in army and navy circles of San Francisco that the United States Government is pre- paring the army transports with a view of sending American troops to China or Korea. There is said to be serious apprehension of revolt and trouble in China. It is feared that fighting on Korean soll between the Russians and Japanese would be the signal for an- other uprising in China. Telegrams from Washington mention the preparation to land United States marines at Chemulpo as an incident of affairs in the Orient, bt in France and | England great significance is attached to the movement. Seoul, the capital of Korea, was the scene of a bigody revo- lution in 1881. Many Japanese were slain by Koreans and many more wouild have been massacred if protection had not been afforded to them at the Amer- ican legation in Seoul. General Lucius H. Foote of this city was then Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordi- nary from the United States to the kingdom of Korea. His courageous and kindly services in behalf orf the Japan- | ese were so highly valued by the Em- peror of Japan that the latter sent a letter of thanks to our Government. The letter was transmitted to the Sen- ate by the Secretary of State. Speaking of the American legation at Seoul, General Fcote last evening req- marked that it embraced five acres of land inclosed by a cement wall. The | residence of the Emperor of Korea is near by, and the British and Russian legations are adjacent. A large and substantial brick dwelling and three ]simall houses are within the American nes. General Foote believes that a force of 100 marines within the legation walls would, if properly equipped with rapid fire guns, be sufficient to afford pro- | tecticn to the Minister and attaches. In Korea foreigners are hated. There is | a traditional prejudice against the for- eigner of the Japanese type which does inot apply to Americans, British and Russians. Legends of Korea represent | Japan as the ancient enemy and tradi- tional oppressor. In the outbreak of 1881 the wrath of the populace against the Japanese could not be restrained, hence many Japs sere ruthlessly butchered in the streets of S.oul. In the event of war and the massing of | armed Russians and Japanese on Ko- rean territory the natives ¢. the coun- try might not extend sympathy or aid Lo either. It is probable that the ap- ! pearance of the Russians on the war- | path would excite curiosity. The sight general throughout-the ports of Spain. | of the Japanese would surely provoke —— WHAT -AND WHY. Why should substitutes for Scott’'s Emulsion be re- fused ?

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 6.—Police Of- ficer John McCord was the victim of a murderous assault made early this mornigg by William Stromford, a prisoner in the ‘city jail at Healdsburg. Stromford was placed in jail by Mc- Cord night ‘for over-indul- gence in _spirituous liquors. When Cord entered the cell this morning Stromford attacked him with a knife that had been overlooked when he was officer was too quick | of Seoul. Through the kindly offices of the American Minister, General Foote, a peaceful adjustment of difficulties was brought about. The Japanese sur- vivors of the massacre were safely es- corted to Chemulpo. The Chinese army of 3000 men and the Japanese force of 5000 were withdrawn from Korea. Japan regards the Russian pressure toward Korea as a menace and will re- sist the advance on the battlefield. For many years there existed a neutral zone between the heavily timbered re- gion of Northermn Korea and Manchu- ria. It is repbrted that the Russians recently sought leases of neutral ter- ritory and are now in possession of the country. It is well understood that Russia is slow to relinquish any ad- vantages gained by diplomacy or war. General Foote entertains a high opin- ion of the fighting quality of the Jap- anese army and is not at all convinced that Japan would come out second best in a clash on land. It ig the judgment of military men generally that Russia will be able to hold the territory that she now occupies. A 4 it P NEGOTIATIONS TO CONTINUE. Tokio Official Explains Status of the Far Egstern Question. TOKIO, Jan. 6.—It is believed here that the Russian response has been handed to the Government, but the secret of its delivery has been jealously guarded and the nature of the reply’ remains undisclosed. Minister of For- eign Affairs Komura called this after- noon upon Baron de Rosen, the Rus- sian Minister to Japan, with whom he remained an hour. Later he visited Premier Katsura and an extended con- ference was held. There is every indication now that further negotiations will take place, ai- though it js expected that Japan will refuse to fransfer the discussion of af- fairs to St. Petersburg if this be pro- posed. Governor Taft of the Philippine Isl- ands and his wife was to-day granted an audience by the Emperor and Em- press, taking luncheon with them later. Subsequently an informal discussion took place, the Emperor expressing his satisfaction at-the friendly relations which existed hetween America and Japan, which he hoped would continue. He wished the Americans to under- stand that Japan was striving earnestly and patiently to maintain peace. A high Japanese zuthority to-day made the following explanation of the status of the Far Eastern question: “‘The statement that Russia has made concessions to Japan is not exact. On the contrary Russia, in the month of October, made certain concessions which were accepted by Japan, but sub- sequently withdrew them and assumed an attitude which left the Japanese little hope in the way of reaching a satisfactory agreement. The Japanese Government, confident in the declara- tions of disinterestedness in Manchuria made by Russia and recognizing Rus- sia’s special interests in that region, wished to regulate, once for ajl, all questions in the Far East in thelinter- est of future peace and tranquillity. To this end Japan made the following proposals: “1—Russia and Japan should mu- tually respect the independence and territorial integrity of Korea. “2—To recognize reciprocally—Japan, the special interests of Russia in Man- churia; Russia, the special interests of Japan in Korea. “3—To engage mutually not to infringe for him, however, and knocked the knife out of his hand with a club.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—A conven- tion has been called in the interest of El Camino Real, or King's High- way, to be held in the new Chamber of Commerce buil January 30. The ol of the con- vention is to arouse interest and take some action in the matter of rebuild- ing the old California Kfin"l m‘:hwgy China and | —Japan, the commercial rights and im- munities acquired by Russia in Korea; Russia, the commercial rights and im- munities acquired by Japan in Man- churia. “In making the third proposition Japan wished not only to protect her rights in China and those of Russia in Korea, but to consecrate by the princi- ple.of equality the commercial rights of all nations in Korea and China. “Russia declined the Japanese propo- sitions and submitted a counter propo- sition which contained a clause provid- ing for the creation of a neutral zone extending from the China-Korean fron- tier to Wongtan on the east and to Pingyang on the west. The zone com- prised almost a third of Korea. | “This Russian pretension took from Japan all guarantee of the protection of her rights in Manchuria and sequestra- ted a considerable part of Korea where, without contradiction, Japan's interests preponderate and which every nation recognizes as being within the legiti-} mate sphere of Japan. | “The proposal exasperated Japanese public opinjon. Japan could not ac- cept the proposal for these reasons: “1—The definitive occupation by Rus- sia of Manchuria would be a perma- nent menace to the independence of Korea, which Japan must prevent at any price, for Korea is an advance post of Japan’s line of defense and the safe- ty of Korea is a condition sine qua non of her own security. “2—Japan has, as other powers, rights and immunities in Manchuria by virtue of treaties with China. These rights and immunities cannot be left to the mercy of Russia. The refusal of Russia to examine the Manchuria question denoted on her part the inten- tion not to observe the rights of all nations in that regfon. Most evident among other proofs of this intention on the part of Russia were the occupation of Yang Tung Tcheng and the reoccu- pation of Moukden. Every one knows that by the new treaties concluded by the United States and Japan with China one city and two ports were to be opened to the commerce of the world. Yang Tung Tcheng and Mouk- den” were the two points chosen. By the oceupation of these ports Russia prevented China fulfilling the obliga- tions of her treaties. “In Korea, equally, acts of Russia have had, as a result, the closing of the Yalu River to foreign commerce. Japan asked Korea, simultaneously with the United States and Great Brit- ain, to-open this region to international commerce. In pccupying Tongwang- pow (Yongampho), the only port in North Korea, Russia paralyzed the realization of this project. Japan then had reason to fear that letting Russia alone would result in closing the Yel- low Sea and the interfor of Manchuria to international commerce. . “In struggling with all her force against the pretensions of Russia in the Far East, Japan works not only for herself, but for all nations. Japan does not ignore the dangers and risks of an armed conflict with Russia, and does not embark upon it with a light heart.” sl s BRITAIN MAY AID JAPAN. Cannot Permit the Little Empire to Be Crushed by Russia. + LONDON, Jan. 7.—There are two in- dications. this morning that nothing definite has developed in the Far East- ern crisis and that nothing is likely to develop until the end of the week. The first of these indications, according to the Tokio correspondent of the Daily ?l‘e‘l‘kgtaph. is that an urgency meeting of the Japanese Cabinet has been called for to-day, and the second is that the members of the British Cabinet have been notified to assemble on Monday. The meeting of the Japanese Cabinet has almost certainly been called for the purpose of considering the reply of Russia to the last Japanese note, and it is equally certain the meeting of the British Cabinet will be for the purpose of discussing the attitude of Great Britain in the light of the Russian re- ply. This question is beginning to be most anxiously discussed by the Brit- ish press. ¥ Editorials in this morning’s papers are almost unanimous in admitting that, even if the war should be con- fined to Russia and Japan, Great Brit- ain cannot possibly see Japan crushed, and that, although not called upon to interfere by the terms of the Anglo- Japanese treaty, and while hostilities may be confined to the two nations, yet in the event of Japan suffering a great naval defeat Great Britain would be almost compelled to go to her as- sistance. “Thus,” as the Daily Telegraph ob- serves, “‘the Cabinet will be called upon to discuss not only the nature of the obligations arising out of the Anglo- Japanese alliance, but also the limits of British neutrality in the event of a Russo-Japanese war.” Some of the papers, apparently doubt- ing, from the record or the present Government, urge that a plain indica- tion of Great Britain’s intentions would | be-most effective in avoiding war. The Morning Post asks: “What has the Government done by way of preparation for a war on a great scale in 1904?" = The Daily Mail wants Russia notified that ‘‘under no circumstances will Great Britain permit the Russian Black Sea fleet to pass the Dardanelles,” and urges the Admiralty “to see that the navy is quite ready for emergency.” The Standlard’s Tokio correspondent says that the Russian warshins which until recently were in Korean waters are returning hastily to Port Arthur. He adds that the fall in stocks con- tinues unchecked. The Chefu correspondent of the Morning Post cables that orders have been issued to the officials of the Si- berian Railroad that freight trains ressed the desire |- this city, on | shall carry only coal for Port Arthur. A strong squadron is moored in the harbor, of Port Arthur. REVOLT NIPPED | AT ITS BIRTH General Monplaiser of Hayti Plans a Revolution in Ab- sence of President Nord PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Jan. 2, Saturday.—During the absence from Port au Prince of President Nord, who went to Gonaives to take part in the celebration of the centenary of the independence of Hayti, General Mon- attempted to raise a revolution against the President, but the move- ment failed. The general’s son and an accomplice were killed. Numerous ar- rests were made. ¥ Continued From Page 1, Columns 5 and 6. Commenting on the situation the Daily Telegraph adds: “All of the latest information at hand from Russia confirms the opinion long since held in diplomatic circles that the war party has got the upper hand in court and that Count Lamsdorf and the Foreign Office have practically no voice in the ultimate decision. If such be the case, peace is hopeless.” ROME, Jan. 6.—Mr. Ohyma, the Japanese Minister, said to-day that in the event of war his country was in a position to rapidly center 300,000 men in Manchuria, while Russia would find difficulty in sending more than 200,000 men. Minister Ohyma said that the naval forces of Japan were numerically superior to those of Russia, and, from a military standpoint, were worth double. “If war breaks out,” said the Minister, “it will last for only I hope for a victory for Japan.” | | a few weeks. 4 Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Min- ister, in an interview published this morning, makes an interesting refer- ence to the report from St. Petersburg that peace is likely to be reached by the Russian Christmas. Thé Minister said: ¢ “That implies the belief, according to Russian explanation, that Japan will give her reply much quicker than the Czar's Government has been able to do. I notice that when it is Russia's turn to reply the Russian and some Euro- pean papers are very pacific, but di- rectly it devolves upon Japan to an- swer their tone suddenly becomes pes- simistic. This is very significant.” RN A B ORDERS TO ADMIRAL EVANS. American Squadron to Maintain a Po- sition of Strict Neutrality. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Naval of- ficials are somewhat embarrassed as to the hest disposition to be made of United States warships on the Asiatic station in view of the imminence of war between Russia and Japan. The policy of the administration is to ob- serve the strictest neutrality and keep hands off, except in the single con- tingency of infringement upon Ameri- can treaty rights. b When Admiral Evans’ fleet was or- dered back to its station from Honolulu it was arranged that the cruiser squad- ron should stop at Midway Island, where there is a cable station, to re- ceive any instructions the department might desire to send. These instruc- tions were simply for Admiral Evans’ fleet to awalt instructions at Guam. That dispatch was delivered to the cruiser squadron, which touched at Midway on the 3d instant and left the same day for Guam, the rendezvous of the entire squadron fleet. It is expected that Admiral Evans .will reach Guam.in a few days and re- port his arrival to the department. Inquiry at the navigation bureau de- velops the fact that up to this mo- ment the admiral has recelved no spe- cial instructions for his guidance in the event of hostilities in the Far East. It is now the purpose of the depart- ment to cable to the admiral a special set of instructions to meet the present conditiong in the Far East, and those instructions will be delivered to him at Guam, according to the present pro- gramme. It is said at the department they will show no discrimination what- ever between the parties as to any pos- sible hostilities, but the admiral will be expected to so dispose of his force as to maintain the appearance of strict neutrality as between the belligerents. et EXPECTS NEWS OF BATTLE. PARIS, Jan. 7.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald cables as fol- lows: “There is almost no hope of a peace- ful solution, and the public is expect- ing news of & bAttle, resylting from the landing of Japanese troops in Korea. A battan has been sent from Vliadi- vostok to prevent the Japanese land- ing.” The Genoa correspongent of the same paper says that the buildei: of the warships Nisshin and Kasaga, which the Japanese Government purchased from Argentina, are doing their utmost to hasten their readiness for sea, and that the Japanese admiral and his officers express satisfaction with the vessels. The correspondent further says it is alleged that Japan is nego- tiating with Buenos Ayres for four other Argentine warships. Hé adds: “There is no doubt that the Russian reply intimates in a friendly way that Russia cannot accept Japanese inter- ference.” At a council concerning Man- churia it was stated that Japan was placing immense difficulties in the way of a peaceful solution, rendering it im- possible for Russia to recede from her position in the Far East. Russia can- not allow Japan to acquire territory in Southern Korea, thus cutting éommun- ication between Vladivostok and Port Arthur. — “The Russian- Government has ap- proached the Wilson line, asking what ships of the line could be chartered in the Black Sea.” The Revue Russe says that at the moment of going to press the following was received from an authoritative source in St. Petersburg: “The probability of war is decreasing. At the present moment (Russia can- not make a casus belli of a temporary landing of Japanese troops at a Korean port with the object of maintaining peace.” A R French Cruiser Receives Orders.

The diplomatists | are disposed to regard it as merely a | move on the diplomatic chessboard. Only one newspaper, the St. Petersburg Skija Wjedomosti, refers to the dis- patch. It says the movement proves the firmness of the Russian policy. The announcement appears to have created a greater impression in Mos- cow. Commenting thereon, the Mos- kowskija Wjedomosti declares Russia is “ready to fight Japan and a coali- tion, if necessary.” A dispatch from Port Arthur says the Russo-Japariese crisis is commented upon by Viceroy Alexieff’s newspaper, the Nova Kraige, as follows: “No threats can make Russia aban- don her legitimate rights in Manchuria or'in Korea. The interests of Russia and Japan can be reconciled without violating that country’s (Korea's) sov- ereignty. The outcome of the negotia- tions depends on the number of iron- clads at Port Arthur and of troops in *Manchuria. Russia does not fear war, but she does not desire it and therefore | is seeking to render it impossible.” pev o ca LB KOREAN - ARMY REBELLIOUS, | Reason for the Sending of American - Marines to Seoul. PARIS, Jan. 6.—A dispatch received | by the French Foreign Office from Seoul gives the circumstances leading up to the landing of American marines in Korea. It says; “The Korean army is seriously dis- affected, chiefly because -of pay ar- rears, and is threatening to engage in an outbreak at any moment, although no actual disturbance has occurred up to this time. As a precaution the Amefican Minister asked for a marine guard, which was landed. “Two_British warships, two Rus-| sian and one American are in the har- bor of Chemulpo. The naval officers say they will remain at Chemulpo un- til the erisis is over. The Korean au- thorities admit they cannot answer for the loyalty and discipline of the troops, but the Americans are the only ones thus far considering the landing of | ‘marines necessary.” SR COAL GOES TO JAPAN.

A great deal of interest is manifested in ship- | ping circles regarding the safe passage | of the vessel, and it is understood an | unusually high risk was charged.
