,us ports in Korea, from Masampho
md Fusan, on the south, to Kunsan,

Seoul is to be occnp ed and the land
ing y being coverel by the torpedo

laneSe feet, the correspondent con-
dudes, will sail in the direction OF
Port Arthur.
A dispatch dated Nagasaki asserts
that Russia deliberately precipitated
the crisis by secretly dispatching a few
days ago from Port Arthur transports
loaded with n full division of troops
and escorted by feet and landed
them near the Yalu river, thus occu-
plying Northern Korea.
The dispatches say: Japanese pa
thence became exhausted and Japan
moved her ships and took unresisted
possession Of certain merchant vessels,
including the Chillla and Manchuria,"
the correspondent continues. 1.-THE
other Russian vessels were seized and

A dispatch from Tientsin says a Rus
sian force is reported 10 miles north

Jaran Calls Home liz Representatives
And Russia Does Tho Same.
JAPAN WILL seize KOREA
only a Step Toward War, Though The
Mutual Withdrawal Of the Ministers
Mems That Quick Aud Decisive
Action Is Expected by all.

St, Petersburg, Feb. Q. Count Lams-
dorf, Russian minister, has informed
the Russian representatives abroad
that Japan has decided to break off ali
negotiations with Russia and to with
draw the minister and the whole
Japant ne legation staff from ST. Peters
burg. The Russian fareign minister
thereupon ordered Russian Minister
Baron De Rosen, and his staff TO leave
Toxic
Tokio.-The severance Of diplomatic
relations between Russia and Japan
appears to be only q step toward war,
although when the ministers of Russia
and Japan withdraw from their re-
spective posts quick and decisive ac-
ton is expected.
During the final negotiation, Japan's
repeated requests for an answer were
treated in most unsatisfactory man
ner. Japan waited until convinced
that it was useless to wait longer, and
has now ended the discussion.
The Indications are that there will
be no formal declaration Of war.
Japan will unquestionably seize
Korea, and, although Russia has. pre-
viously intimated that it would not
interfere, in view of that country's
present attitude, developments are
eagerly awaited.
st. Petersburg.-The czar has gone
to Moscow to submit his cause and fate
to the Almighty before the altar OF the
Troitzko monastery, as his fathers
had done in the past before drawing
the sword.
