THE JAPANESE TROOPS
To the Number of 5000 or 10000 Said
to Be Going to Corea.

Paris. Oct. Conformation which has
reached here through official circles at St
Petersburg shows that explanation given
of Japans moving troops to Corea is cal
culated to remove suspicion concerning
her intention. The number Of troops
moved is estimated at between 5000 and
10000.
Japan explains that the movement is
part of a plan of experimental mobilza
ton, for the purpose of showing her abil-
ity to mobilize a considerable force in
connection with the friction between
Japan and China but that it has no con-
nection with differences between Japan
and any other power. The officials refuse
to comment upon the exclamation.
