Russia still Courts corea.

ST. Petersburg, March 22,-The for
elgn office gives an absolute denial to
the statement telcgraphed from here
that Corea is regarded AS a belligerent,
Russia, as previously explained, re-
CARDS all the acts of Corea since the
declaration of her neutrality as being
under Japanese duress and unless the
Corean government formally notifies
the powers that she has joined with
Japan and takes up arms Russia win
consider her neutral. But any Corean
troops which actually impede the Rus
sian movements or join the enemy will
be considered individual belligerents
without reference to their nationality
The statement that the Russian min
ster at Pekin has demanded the with.
drawal of all the Chinese troops north
OF the great wall is also incorrect. As
cabled, Russia has made representa-.
tons about the number of Chinese
troops in the neutral zone west of the
Lilo river not desiring a force there
which would constitute threat and it
is understood that China has given
measurably satisfactory assurances on
the subject.
