fairs in Egypt. Although il is an nm
disputed fact that Lord Dufierin and
the ministers at the principal capitals
of Europe have kept Up a constant in

bers Of the cabinet, not a word has
been uttered by the premier or a cabi-

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 13.-Since last ad-
wees there have been considerable
changes IN COrean affairs, the final re-
suits, however. being entirely favorable
to Japan. The envoy from Japan, Hans
busa, reached Seoul. the capital Of Co
rea, on August is, and was received with
ostensibie courtesy. After some diff
cuity ne obtained an audience with the
A'nR. who continued to rule nominaily.
though at that time completely under
Al
Ront. now known as the Tai-on-Kun.
At this audience, Angus. 20. the Jana
neSe envoy presented his governments
demands, and requested that commis-
sloners be appointed to discuss them.
This was agreed to, bst several days
passed without any satisfactory demon
stration on the part Of the Coreans.
Iho envoy departed, which brought the
usurper to terms. He invited the envoy
to return. and, ON August 20. a full
agreement was given to all Jspan's de-
mands. Tho COrean Government
pledged itself to the following condi-
tlons: first-TO arrest the insurgents
within twenty days, and infiict due pun
ishment; japanese delegates being |
present at the trial. SeCona-To pro- |
perly bury the murdered bodies and nav |

sges OF Japanese residents and trad ers. |
Seventh--To afford proper convenience |
for travel throughout Corea by Japanese |
Government officials. While this was |
going on the Chinese envoy, Ma, who |
had remained inactive with his escort /
until August 18th, suddenly called up |
the full body OF his troops-some three /
or four thousand-to the capital. What |
degree of pressure he may have exer
clsed is not yet known. but il is certain
tn0t tho chief rebel and sssassin-the /
Taison-kun-was suddenly taken on
board Chinese ship and carried To |
7 len Tsin.
It ID alleged that his departure was
By no means voluntary, and that some |
effort Was required TO get him |
ashore on arriving at his destination.
Whatever the object of this proceeding |
was, 1t must have been dictated by Ii |
hung Chang, the Chinese Viceroy at |
lientei1. who seems to have quite aban.
doned his demeanor Of calm s:olIdity |
during these active Corean transactions. |
II is declared by one Chinese party that |

from the dangers that threat |
ened him, and by another that the in |
tent was to still maintain tho theory of |
control over Corea's rulers |
which Ii Hung Chang has been strain |
