Seoul. June S-M Hayashi. the japanese Min

Up TO the present have attained my main
object. that Of keeping the Coreans quiet. From

ing our future course here. To be successful we
must have control which is Obtainabe only
when there is the weight Of dominant power
backing advice given. The lack Of this will rem
der the services of any foreign adviser useless.
Heretofore there has been no definition OF
imperial and ministerial functions There must
be a government and palace intrigues must
end. The useless army OF Corea must De re-
duced the officials must receive living wage
and squeezing must be stopped When COM
plants are entertained and acted on eXtortlon

proper sort The majority of the Coreans who
speak foreign languages and have been edu-

also necessary to formulate comprehensive min

ST. Petersburg, June 9.-Among the rumors
that FL the city tonight is one, on better au-
thority than the average, that General Kuro-
ratkin is himself moving southwark from Lao
Yang. II is not possible authortatiVely TO con-
firm the report.
The public takes hold eagerly Of every scrap
OF information or misinformation concerning
events in the Far East Every one IS alert for
official news Of a serious attack on Port Ar

Except for a brief message Of mysterious or
igin from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft both the
people and the official world are fin the dark
concerning movements in Southern Liao-Tung.
The War Office. however, has information which,
the officials say. warrants a contradiction of the
reports OF a four days land and sea attack on
Port Arthur and Of extensive damage TO the
forts.
The dispatch from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft is
dated June Z. and says that the enemy has
been bOmbarding Port Arthur Internationally
from the sea, but does not mention serious
operations from the land side. There are, how

also in the death of many peaceful peasants.
