states that there are but sixteen cases
of smallpox in Allegheny, which is To-
Gated directly across the Ever from

SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST.
Commerce Of the Orient Seriously
M H Affeefad

London, Oct. 29.-The uncertainty
Of the situation in the far East, ac-
cording to the Che Foo correspondent
of the Morning Post, is seriously at
fecting commerce. Trade between Che
Foo and Manchuria is suspended. The
correspondent adds:
II hear from a trustworthy source
that Japan will not gain an inch of
territory in Korea through raising the
Yongampho question, as Russians
were firmly settled. 1t is possible
that a Japanese occupation of Ma San
Pho, Korea, will cut off communica-
ton between Vladivostock and Port
Arthur. Some troops from the trans
baikal territory have been ordered to
the Lao Tung Peninsula and have
been styled the army of East Siberia.
A Japanese paper says the Russian
consul at Ma San Pho is creating a
consulate at Fusan, Korea, which is
regarded as a Japanese stronghold"
