Movements Of Russian Troops.
(Isy the Associated Press.)

Paris, Feb. 4.-The correspondent at
Seoul of the Paris edition of the New
York Herald says in dispatch the four
companies of Russian soldiers have left
Port Arthur for Yongampho and are NAV
ing towards the Yalu River. The COM
mander of the Russian forces at Vladivo-
stock has requested the japanese there to
leave.
Russia is sending troops to Seoul at
the request of the Korean government,
the correspondent continues, and will eX-
plain this action probably by affirming
that there are 1900 Japanese soldiers at
Seoul in disguise. The correspondent,
however, say this assertion cannot be con-
firmed 1t is rumored, he concludes that
several thousand Russian soldiers will
reach Korea Friday unless they are
stopped by the japanese fleet.
