BEATEN In DIPLOMACY BY RUSSIA
Japan Offers the United States an
Adroit Explanation of Corean At
fairs-New Phase Of Vene-
zuelan Situation.

London, NOV. I.-Nearly all the Eng
liah newspapers refer seriously to the po
f1itical crisis, the apparent isolation o
Great Britain and the policy pursued BY
Russia in the far east, as we'll as the future
steps Francs may take.
People here are gradually becoming
Econvinced that British diplomacy has
been outmaneuvered by Russia, and that,
in spite of denials, the latter country has
obtained important concessions from
China and is prepared to stop at nothing
to compel the Japanese to evacuate
Chinese territory, in accordance with the
terms of the treaty of peace.
SITUATION GRAVE IN ARMENIA.
In Armenia, the situation grows more
grave in view of the spread of the revo.
lutionary feeling and the fact that Eng
land is liable to be left alone at any
. moment to deal with the sultan and the
latter will then be very unlikely to carry
out reform in Armenia.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon,
alluding to danger ahead, says: "It is
such as to make US anxious not to lose
time in getting our naval and military
armaments in as complete state OF
efficiency as the circumstances will allow.
EXCHANGES OF MESSAGES.
1t is understood that most important
exchanges of messages have been taking
place at the foreign Office, although the
officers there still profess to believe that
the danger has been greatly exaggerated.
The general opinion, however, is that
Europe may be congratulated if war
shall be avoided.
NEW PHASE OF VENEZUELA SITUATION.
New York.-A special to the Herald
from Barbados, W. l., says that the ois-
pnte between Great Britain and Venezuela
will now assume quite new phase. If
war is declared, and it is undoubtedly i'm
minent, it will be upon basis to which
the Monroe doctrine will not apply, and
Venezuela will have to face the enemy
without the support of the United States.
Commander Filbert, of Venezuela,
yesterday shot down Thos. Garcia, owner
of the British schooner Miosotis, in the
most unprovoked manner. The British
ensign was run to the masthead of the
vessel, when the coast guard gave chase.
Nevertheless Commander Filbert opened
FIRE on the vessel, Garcia fell dead, and
the others only saved their lives by throw
ing themselves fiat upon the deck.
The coast guard took the schooner into
Carupano and here the vessel was rum
band goods were found on board, the yes.
sci was liberated.
JAPAN's ADRo1T ANNOUNCEMENT.
Washington.-The precise definition oi
of the position of Japan respecting Corea
has been obtained at last by all the powers
concerned, for tits assumed that the follow.
ing cablegram, handed to Secrstary Olney
on Thursday by the Japanese minister, has
also been sent to the Japanese legation
in Europe:
"In regard to our attitude in Corea, you
are authorized to declare to the following
effect to the government of the United
States: Japanese troops are now station
ed In Corea to insure tranquility as we'll
as to protect our legation, consulate
and subjects, and also to maintain in
dispensable lines of communication with
our army, which is still in occupation of
Lila Chung peninsula. The troops in
tended for the latter purpose are much
larger in number. The necessity for
keeping such troops there will, however,
cease at the same time with the evacua-
tion of the peninsula, and go much of the
troops will then be Withdrawn from
Corea.
"The Japanese government hopes that
in the Corean movement, having already
entered upon the work of reform, they
may succeed and be able to maintain or
der and protect foreigners, though our
troops are withdrawn. The Japanese
government, having no other designs, is
not desirous Of prolonging the mainten-
ance of troops IN Corea. Furthermore,
we should be extremely gratifed if we
we're relieved from such obligation. In
our relations with Corea, the policy of
our government is one of non-interfer-
ence and our government will gladly
share equally with other powers in the
same line of action"
