TROUBLE ON IN KOREA
Seven Of the Ten Ministers of the Her.

Legation Surrounded.

Toxic, Jan. 21-The growing belief
that peaceful settlement of interna.
tional difficulties will be eventually
attained, has served to strengthen the
financial market. The government re-
mains silent awaiting a formal re-
sponse from Russia. The mere ac-
ceptance of Japan's proposals will not
suffice. Some definite plan of action
other than mere promises will be in
sisted on by Japan. Japan is unwill-
ing to disarm unless absolutely con-
vinced that its rights are safe guarded.
Chances for Peace Favorable.
London, jan 21-The Westminster

saying: We believe that chances for

Situation Tense in Seoul.
Seoul, Corea, Jan. 21-Prompt action

The following letter from Major R
j. Palen explains itself:
Santa Fe, Jan. 21, 1904.
To the Editor of New Mexican.
In your issue of the Goth instant, in
an article about the affairs of the Fra
ser Mountain Copper Company, you
state in the list of debts of that COM
pany, that it owes the First National
Bank of Santa Fe about $4,000. This
is a mistake. That company is not
and never has been indebted to the
First National Bank of Santa Fe in
any amount, nor do any of it's officers,
agents or servants owe that bank any
thing. Please give this correction as
much prominence in your paper as you
did the original statement
Yours respectfully,
r. J. PALEN,
President.
The New Mexican in commenting on
the above desires to state that the err
ror occurred in this Office The infor-
nation in the article should have been
that the sum of about $4,000 was due
the First National Bank Of Asbury
Park, New Jersey, an institution
which is now in the hands of the re-
ceiver.
