advices there have been considerable
changes in Corean affairs, The final re-
suit, however, being entirely favorable
to japan. The envoy from Japan, den-
abusa. reached Zoitl the capital of
Cures, an August 10, and was received
with ostensible courtesy. After some
difficulty, be obtained an audience with
the king, who continues TO rule nomin-
ally. though, at that time, completely
under Il sway of his father, the former
regent now known as the Tsi on Kun.
Al this audience, On August ooh, the
japanese envoy presented his eofern-
ment's demand, and requested that COM
missioners be appointed to discuss them.
This was agreed 10, but several days
passed without any, at sactory demo1stre-
tions on the part Of the Coresls. Hsv-
ing at last exhausted argument and re-
monstranee, the japanese envoy left
FOUL, on August 70, and, in spite Of the
tardy regrets from the Corean officials,
and offers Of intervention from the Chi.

bring the envoy back to the capital,
where, on August 30th, 6 full agreement
was given to all Jspan's demands. The

means voluntary. and some physical
efforts were required to get him ashore
on arriving at his destination. Whatever
the object of this proceeding, it must
have been dictated by LII Hung Chang,
Chinese viceroy at Tian Tsin, wko

meanor OF calm stolidlty during thsse
active C0rean transactions. 1t is declared
by one Chinese party that the only pur.
