Seoul, Dec. 15.-More riottng mas &C.
CURED at Mok-Phe and yesterday Japa-
nese mob wounded seventeen Koreans.
High Korean officials are hurrying TO
Mok-Phe to try and quell the disorders.
so far Russia has not interfered.
United States Minister Allen has de-
manded a definite answer from the ko-
rean government in regard to the opening
OF the port OF Win.
Despite American, British and Japa-
nese pressure, Russian influence over tfe
Korean government is apparently III
shaken and it is expected that Korea will
procrastinate In dealing with the matter
and possibly may refuse eventually 10
act at all.
A feeling OF unrest is growing amors
the Korean people who fear that whether
it be peace or war between Russia and
Japan, the extinction OF the empire is i'm
minent It is believed that the outbreak
OF hostilities or the announcement OF O
protectorate OF any kind will precipita'e
trouble. Foreigners In Seoul expect d.s-
order and the American residents desire
warship. The Korean army, numbering
5000 men, is considered one of the mos
dangerous factors of the situation, as
an insubordinate element is believed 70
be beyond control. In case of trouble it
is feared that the soldiers will be the
first to lead the rioting and begin loot
ing.
A part Of the Russian squadron has
already departed for Port Arthur, and
the remainder of the fleet will follow leay-
ing warships of that nation in Korean
