Paris, Feb. 25.-Additional details
of the japanese attempt to close the
entrance of the harbor at Port Ar
thur have been received from most
authoritative quarters. These say the
japanese sent five or six old transport
hulks, conveyed by torpedo boats, to
Port Arthur with the evident purpose
of sinking the hulks at the entrance
of the harbOr.
The battleship Retvizan discovered
their approach and her fire on them
was strongly seconded by that of the
shore batteries from Port Arthur.
The report adds that two japanese
ships were wrecked and lie in Tiger
bay, and that alongshore another
japanese ship burned, and that a
fourth lies wrecked on the shore out
side of Tiger bay. 1t is believed these
wrecks are not warshiPs. but hulks
designed to be sunk at the entrance
Of the harbor.

They Have Made a Treaty with Korea

Washington. Feb. 25.-Japan's latest
diplomatic move is regarded here as
a very clever one. 1t is no less than
Il treaty with Korea by which Japan
guarantees that cOuntry's indepepd-
ence, thereby disavowing any inten-
tion on Japan's part TO graham Korean
territory. This is contrasted here with
the purpose of Russia, whose protest
against Japan'S acts in Korea is held
to be with view to retaliation ou
Korea. involving its annexa ton TO Rus
Sia for alleged violation of neutrality
No details of the new Japanese
Korean treaty have been announced at
the state department. which confines
itself for the present TO the brief an
nOuncement of the treaty's conclusion.
IT is known, however. that Korea in
return gives Japan extensive military
rights. and the officials here regard
the negotiation of the treaty as a dec
laration by Japan of her prOtectOrate
over the Hermit Kingdom. and move
which has long been expected. 1t is
supposed that Japan is given the right
to fortify Korea in any way she wishes
and practically assume control control
of all kOrea's defenSes.
This declaration OF a protectorate
over Korea byJapan. of course. removes
Korea from the rank of neutral pow
ers and makes the Hermit Kingdom
as legitimate field for military OP
erations as japan itself.

of the Lake Bluff was held at $500 an
