POWERS MAY AGREE
WITH RUSSIAN VIEW
AS TO KOREA'S STATUS

PARIS, Feb. 25.-It is the belief in
the highest official quarters that the
powers will support the Russian view
of the invalidity of the Japanese treaty
with Korea as far as it creates a Japa-
nese protectorate over Korea, owing to
the Emperor being under duress. But
1t is said that no immediate action on
the part of the powers is required, as
the question of the recognition of the
protectorate will definitely arise when
the terms of peace are considered.
In the meantime official opinion is
strongly sympathetic with Russia's po-
sition, and it is considered that Rus
sia's note to the powers protesting
against Japan's violation of Korean
neutrality fully protects International
rights, as the protest antedates the
official announcement of the conclusion
of the treaty. The Foreign Office con-
siders the announcement confirmatory
of the view that Russia's protest to the
powers was designed to reserve all her
rights and to prevent international ac-
ceptance of the treaty establishing a
protectorate.

BARON SUYEMATSU
SAYS JAPAN'S FIGHT
is FOR EXISTENCE

SEATTLE, Feb. 25.-Baron Suyemat-
su arrived here to-day, a passenger. of
the Iyo Maru, being en- route to London
on an important diplomatic mission.
Discussing the war the Baron said:
1T is for us a gigantic struggle and
one which we tried to avoid. But Japan
will send her last man and will expend
her last dollar in order to win. We
have no aspirations for aggrandize-
ment, but at the same time we must
look out to maintain our existence as a
nation.
I'VE have large political and CONNER
cial interests as we'll as a sacred his
tOrical connection with the Korean pen
insula. If Korea falls into the hands
of any other nation il will be a death
blow to the existence of our empire. We
respect the integrity and sovereignty
of Korea; we fought China ten years
ago solely for the independence of the
Korean kingdom. Now we are fighting
Russia for the same principle, and more
for the integrity of China as well. If
Manchuria falls to Russia the question
of the existence of Korea would be one
of but few days. She would take Ko-
rea. and that would be a constant
menace to our empire"

PORT ARTHUR ACCOUNT
OF FUTILE ATTEMPT
TO BLOCK CHANNEL

PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 25.-At about
anese made a desperate attempt to
block the entrance of the inner harbor
and dock. With this object four mer-
chant steamships, accompanied by tor
pedo vessels, were sent from two sides
toward the entrance of the channel
The movement was perceived by the
Retvizan. which was lying in the chan
mel, and which opened fire upon them.
At the same time the guns of the forts
on the Tiger Peninsula Golden Hill
and Electric Gulf were turned upon
the enemy and a furious cannonade en-
sued, lasting until 5 o'clock in the
morning. Then the firing slackened
and became desultory. The Japanese
had failed to effect their purpose.
All four steamships were sunk. They
are lying in the following positions .
One behind Golden Hill, one near the
Retvizan and two between the entrance
of the channel and Laothieshan PENN
sula. Two of the vessels are still burn
ing.
The cruisers Bayan and Novik pur-
sued the Japanese torpedo flotilla. 1t
was sunk.
About a. m. on February "a a Jap
anese squadron of considerable size ap-
preached Port Arthur and the Bayan
and Novik were ordered to engage the
Japanese ships, which, however, did
not open fire, and afterward steamed
away in the direction of Port Dalny.
The cruiser Pallada has entered the
dock here.

FRANCE AND GREAT
BRITAIN ADJUSTING
ALL DIFFERENCES

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Premier Bal
four had sufficiently recovered his
health to come from Brighton to this
city to-day to preside at a Cabinet
meeting at noon. Prior to the meet
ing French ambassador Cambon call
ed at the Foreign Office and had an
hours talk with Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne. The ambassador return
ed here from Paris yesterday evening
and apart from an exchange of views
in regard to the most recent develop
ments of the war, on which subject
the two Cabinets are keeping in the
closest touch with each other, there is
good reason to believe that a settle
ment of all matters in dispute between
France and Great Britain is on the eve
of being arranged. Such questions as
Egypt, Morocco, Newfoundland, etc,
have been fully discussed by the two
Governments for some months and
the difficulties are being gradually
eliminated, until practically nothing
remains to prevent an early signature
of a treaty removing all outstanding
obstacles to a complete accord between
the two powers.
Asked in the House of Commons to-
day by what authority it was proposed
to detain at Ceylon the 325 Russian
sailors rescued after the fight off
Chemulpo, Premier Balfour said the
sailors had sought refuge on British
warship. Under the circumstances
and until other arrangements had been
agreed upon the Government thought
il would be best fulfilling the obliga-
tions of neutrality by holding the men
in British territory until the close of
the war. The Japanese Government,
however had given intimation that 1t
was willing that the sailors should re-
ertxvf 1..f, IL
not to participate during the rest of
the war. The British Government was
now in correspondence with Russia
with the view of settling the question
on this basis.
Replying to a question in the House
of Commons to-day the Foreign Under
Secretary, Earl Percy, said the Gov
ernment was not aware of any nego-
tiations between Germany and Rus
sia whereby, as announced in some
newspapers, in return for Germany
affording Russia certain advantages
during the war, Russia would support
Germany in regard to the Bagdad
Railroad question and a general ex-
tension of German predmoninance in
Asia Minor.
A special dispatch from Hohgkong
says the British Admiralty officials
are serving out clothing to the Russian
sailors rescued at Chemulpo, Korea,
and that the crews of the vessels form
ing part of the British squadron have
given half days pay to provide lux
uries for the Russian wounded.
The British Foreign Office has re-
ceived an official dispatch saying that
not one of the japanese torpedo-boats
was injured in the attack on Port
Arthur on the morning of Wednesday,
February "a.
The War Office says that there is no
truth whatever in the rumor published
yesterday by the Manchester Dispatch
that the First (British) Army Crops
had been ordered to hold itself in
readiness to depart for India within a
few days.

Growing Hatred of
the United
States.

81. PETERSBURG. Feb. 25.-The ir-
ritation against the United States on
account Of the supposed unfriendly at
utude of that country toward Russia.
which was slightly noticeable through
out the negotiations, seems TO have be
come daily more pronounced and. since
the Nicksburg incident at Chemulpo
(When the commander Of this American
gunboat is said TO have refused TO
unite with the commanders of other
foreign Warships at Chemulpo TO pro-
test against the fighting which resulted
In the loss Of Russian warships Variag
and koreitz, and the fact that the
Nlcksburg did not take on board sur
Viv0rs Of the Russian ships). American
business men here are really concerned
about the posi- bic effect upon Amer
lean trade. Within the last few DAYS
orders Tor American goods have been
c0untermanded. the only explanation
given being that prospective pur-
chaseTs did not desire to buy American
GOODS under the present circumstances.
United States Consul General Watts
has been appealed 10 in the case of an
American flrm which had a large con-
tract for school supplies. the contract
having been peremptOrily Cancelled.
orders for the importation OF a big
consignment Of wood pulp also have
been cOuntermandeo the intending pur-
chaser saying in his letter that he
could not be expected TO do business
with America after the Nicksburg in
cloent. Watts has felt il To be his duty
10 write 10 the State Department,
pointing out the state Of public feel
ing here, and the great prospective
damage 10 American trade unless
measures are taken 10 allSy the irrita-
tiOn.
Americans here believe that an Of
fetal explanation of the Nicksburg in
cioent would be OppOrtune and have an
excellent effect. The Government Of
nclally has not taken notice Of the in
clQent, being without direct official ad-
vices from the Far East on the sub
Ject In Government circles, however,
II rs seen plainly that Russian sus-
cepubllties have been wounded. and
the fear IS expressed that should Wash
ington now disregard Russia and pro-
cure eNequaturs for the newly ap-
pointed American COnsuls at Mukden
and Antung from Peking and attempt
10 send those officials TO their posts. a
really unpleasant incident might be
created.
Russia does not want to be placed in
the position Of refusing TO allow these
Consuls 70 enter upon their duties. but.
with state Of war existing and COM
merce at a standstil. military consid-
erations are paramount and Russia
might consider herself warranted in in
terpreting such 2 course on the part
of the United States 10 be political
rather than commercial
The refusal Of Russia TO allow Nor
gan. the newly appointed American
Consul at Port Dalny. to go to his post
at present IS based solely on the mill
tary situation. which may compel all
foreigners to leave Port Dalny. The
sincere hope is expressed that the
United States viii not embarass Russia
further by pressing the question OF
consular representation at this time.

Russians Retiring
From Northern
Korea.

TOXIC, Feb. 25.-The question of the
stay of the Russian gunbOat Mandjur
at Shanghai remains unsettled. Paul
Lessar, Russian Minister to China, is
said TO be trying TO intimidate the Chi
ncse Government, declaring emphat-
ically that japan has little chance OF
victory against a Russian army 100000
men strong. The court at Peking Is
oscillating on this question. Russia
also is pressing China to declare the
neutrality of that portion of the en-
pire which Russia already occupies.
The japanese Government to-day
paid the famous white whisky claim
by handing to United States Minister
Griscom a draft for $115,O00 in favor
of the American Trading Company.
The claim arose from a customs de-
cision rendered in 1900 holding an inn
portatiOn of 5000 barrels of whisky to
be alcohol and increasing the duty from
40 per cent to 250 per cent. japan at
first rejected the claim for repayment
of the amount alleged to have been
overcharged by the customs depart
ment, but Minister Griscom, on arriv-
ing in Toxic, renewed il and pressed
the case with firmness. His success
in obtaining payment is very crafty
ing to American commercial men, and
the settlement of the case Is regarded
as another mark of the friendliness Of
Japan for America.
Three weeks ago it was thought in
some quarters here that the opening
of the war would be quickly followed
by movement of the Russian forces
toward the south, Pingyang being
picked as their objective point The
appearance later of Russian scouts IN
the vicinity of Wiiu tended to confirm
this opinion and created the impres
sion that there would be a conflict in
that vicinity.
If the Russians ever intended to make
this movement they apparently have
been beaten by the rapidly moving
japanese. The latter are said to have
sufficient force to check the Rus
slams, thus insuring the possession of
Korea as soon as they are capable of
making an aggressive northern move
ment themselves. The small bodies Of
mounted Russians who were scouting
south of the Yalu River speedily with
drew to the north.
Storms are interfering with naval
operations. The Yellow Sea is being
swept by gales, heavy snow is falling
and the weather is bitterly cold. The
forces of Japan are going to the front
splendidly equipped to withstand the
cold, but. despite their preparations.
both sides will suffer much during the
next sixty days.

Landing of Japanese at Possiet Bay May Mean an
Attack Upon Vladivostok mar 4.t..,.

LONDON. Feb. 26.-War correspond
ents and Europeans in Japan, COM
menting in amazement upon the sue
cess of japanese officials in preserving
secrecy regarding all the operations of
war, declare that this conspiracy Of
silence" is not only confined to Gov
ernment and service circles. but that
it extends to every section of the COM
munity Ali classes of people are sub
hitting with marvellous patience to be-
ing deprived of news, which they rec
ognize as imperative to the success of
the cause. 1t is undoubtedly in pur-
suance of this policy that no Japanese
account Of the Port Arthur attacks has
yet been published, and none is ex-
pected until Admiral Togo has COM
pleted his designs there.
In the meantime, if the report from
YinkOw of japanese landing near
Vladivostok, which at present is based
on missionary and native statements,
should prove correct, a most important
and new development in the Japanese
operations Will have been revealed, as
ii points to an attack on Vladivostok,
from which Possiet Bay is only a little
more than seventy miles distant. The
between Harbin and Vladivostok may
possibly be connected with these ope-
rations, but until reliable information
is forthcoming this report must be re-
ceived with reserve. 1t has already
been reported from Toxic that certain
Russian forces were concentrating at
Possiet Bay.
No further details of the attack on
Port Arthur, after the engagement in
which the Japanese attempted to sink
vessels in such a manner as to block
the harbor entrance, has reached Lon
don. Almost all the English news
papers in discussing Viceroys Alex
ieffs reports incline to the belief that
Admiral Togo succeeded, insofar as to
make the channel impossible for large
battleships, even if it is still free to
smaller craft, and presume that the
reported second attack, if ii did oc-
cur, was devoted to an attempt to sink
further obstacles to navigation.
The Morning Post to-day devotes
long editorial article to a historical
record of the rapid growth of Amer
ican activity in Far Eastern affairs,
comparing the present attitude of the
United States with her passive interest
in the Chino-Japanese war. The
paper remarks on the notable friend
ship with Russia and contends that
American friendship for the empire
was always artificial. Admiral Deweys
guns, the paper says, literally shat
tered the superstition that Russia was
the appointed friend and Great Brit
ain the foe of the United States.
I'VE believe" the Morning Post con-
cludes, that the appearance of Amer
lea as a working element in Far East
