STILL RETICENT.

LONDON, July 25.-In the foreign office the absence of information that hostilities have begun in Corea is regarded as ground for hope that the gravity of the reported collisions there has been exaggerated. The members of the Chinese legation profess to believe the reported encounter between Japanese soldiers and the Corean guards was merely an isolated street fight and not a part of an important movement. Both the Japanese and Chinese ministers affirm their reticence is due to the fact that they have received no advices, but it is known that volu1ninous cabiegrams have been coming to both throughout the day.
