Special Cable to The Call and New York Her
aid. Copyright 1904 by the New York Her
aid Publishing Company.
LONDON, March 9O-while the San
Francisco Call and the New York Her
aid have received lengthy and detailed
dispatches from their special CORE
spondents at Chenampho and Pfngyang
London papers are swallowing with
what grace they can the bitter pill fur
nished them by the Japanese military
authorities in refusing TO allow CORE
spondents TO accompany the Japanese
forces in the field.
Fer the last two weeks The Call and
the Herald have been the only news
papers having correspondents north OF
Seoul, and, as the Daily Telegraph
editOrially points out this mOSninS.
the other special correspondents and
even the military attaches at Toxic
have been told that they cannot be al
lowed to go to the front and must con-
tinue for another indefinite period TO
cool their heels in the island capital"
From Seoul also comes a dispatch be-
wailing the severity of the japanese
censorship. This is from Major F. 4.
Mackenzie to the Daily Mails II says:
The Japanese press censorship is
rapidly tightening. 1t now extends be-
%ond military movements and even in
c1udes references to local disturbances.
This censorship applies t6 private let
ters in addition to kilograms. The Jap
aEese authorities are striving TO pre-
vent news and messages leaving the
country in any way. even on board pri-
vate ships.
The attitude Of the Japanese au-
thorities toward correspondents, in con-
junction with the delays that have
arisen and the contradictory orders
that haves been issued, is exciting the
deep resentment of many correspond
ents. who. on their arrival at Seoul
from Toxic, were strongly pro-JapaIs-
csc. They are now fooHshly allowing
their personal grievances to obscure
their vision AND have completely
changed their attitude"
Editorially the Daily Mail finds some
excuse for Japan, which, it says, Is
fighting for its life apd can give no
chance away: and the Daily Telegraph.
also. while declaring that unique in
| convenience is caused newspapers
throughout the world" agrees that
Japan cannot afford to run the risk
of losing a single trick in the war game.
The Seoul correspondent Ofo the Mail
describes Korea. outside the districts
occupied by the Japanese, as being in
state of anarchy and in readiness for
rebellion. The correspondent asserts
that the censorship prevents any ref
erence to local disturbances.

In the Kusnetz district, where all

danger of a famine. The stores of pro-

ST. PETERSBURG'S VIEW.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 3d.
The diplomatists here cannot under
stand why there should be a protest
against such military massacres as
the Russians may care to take at New
chwang, which is clearly within the
sphere of operations as laid down in
Russia's reply to Secretary Hays note.
Manchuria also being excepted by
the other powers in their replies,
Russia considers that she. is acting
entirely within her rights. In this
connection it is pointed out that
Japan, in reply to Secretary Hay,
agreed to observe the neutrality of
China so far as Russia did. mas
much as Russia has publicly declared
her intention not to extend the war
west of the Lao River into the por-
ton of Manchuria previously evacu-
ated by her, a Japanese landing on
the west coast of Liaotung Gulf would
make her responsible for an extern
sion of the war into Chinese territory
which Russia considers neutral.
