CINCINNATI TO SAIL FOR
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

Seoul, Friday, March 1.-THE United
States cruiser Cincinnati will leave
Chemulpo tomorrow for Chinnampo
to bring away the women and children
from the American company's mines
at Unsan. The families of American
missionaries south of the Yalu are not
considered to be in any danger, but
every precaution is being taken for
their safety.
A messenger from the miners at I'm
san, who left Chinnampo on Wednes-
day last, says that everything is quiet
in that vicinity. Only a few recon-
noitering parties of Cossacks are seen
north of that point. and there are
probably only few hundred Russians
in all south of the Yalu. There is
little prospect for any serious conflict
in this quarter within the next six
weeks.
Thus far there has been no trouble
at the mines and there is little likeli-
hood they will be interfered WITH both
sides having given every assurance in
that respect. The only possible dam
ger is from struggling parties of pilla-
gers, but from these the miners are
in a position to protect themselves,
having on hand three Colt guns and an
ample supply of rifles.

RUSSIA ANSWERS THE
CONVENTIONS OF JAPAN.

St. Petersburg. March 12.-The fol-
lowing reply, inspired by the foreign
office, to Japan's rejoinder to the Rus
sian protest against the violation of
Korean neutrality may be accepted as
official:
Japan's argument that she was JUS
titled in landing troops in Korea be-
fore the declaration of war, because
she had Korea's permission. and also
that these troops arrived in Korea aft
er the existence of a state of war;" is
without value. as Korea in January
promulgated her neutrality to the pow
ers. Therefore. no state of war gave
the Japanese the right to violate her
neutrality by landing troops IN her
territory.
Japan's contention. in defence of the
attack on the Russian ships at Chemul-
po that the port was not neutral Feb.
g. is false. again because Korea had
proclaimed her neutrality.
The statement reasserts malicious in
reference by Japan with the trans
mission of Russian kilograms over the
Danish cable. saying a cablegram to
Baron Rosen at Toxic was delayed two
days.
The statement contends that Japan
notified the Russian minister at Korea
to leave, and that the seizure of mer-
chant men was an act of piracy.

"COSSACK OF THE SEA"
THEY CALL MAKAR0FF

st. Petersburg, March 12.-Admiral
Makaroff's name is on every lip in st.
Petersburg to-day. He is the hero of
the hour. There is a deep seated con-
viction here that henceforth there will
be a complete change of sea tactics,
and that Admiral Makaroff will make
the fleet at Port Arthur an aggres-
sive force.
He enjoys the reputation throughout
the length and breadth of the empire
OF being a dashing officer. His ideas
run counter to those generally accept
ed by naval experts and strategists.
One of his pet aversions is armor.
The admiral is ever outspoken in his
criticism of the heavy battleship, and
shows his partiality for a fleet COM
posed of large number of swift, un-
armored cruisers, armed with heavy
guns and attended by an unlimited
number of torpedo boats.
The cruiser Novik, to which he
transferred his flag in the attempt to
rescue the torpedo boat destroyer is
practically without armor protection.
Admiral Makaroff's prediction for
swift ships has earned him the soubri-
auet of the "Cossack of the Sea-" He
is not likely to give the enemy much
rest while any of his cruisers or tor
pedo boats remain afioat.

SEOUL MOVING ALONG
WITHOUT EXCITEMENT.

Seoul. Saturday. March 12.-Detach-
ments of Korean soldiers marching
up and down the main streets in the
neighborhood of the palace at all hours
of the day and evening give an air Of
martial activity to this city. But few
japanese soldiers remain here.
All have gone north. and the foreign
legations continue to be guarded by
mariness The American legation has
thirty-fve men on duty in the grounds
and others are quartered at American
business houses for the sake of better
accommodations. Foreigners, however.
feel perfectly safe, although there is
more real business activity at Chemul-
po.
The Japanese authorities treat for
eigners very courteously and have
just given American Minister Allen
permission TO go TO the front with a
passage on a transport 10 Chnnampo,
where he is expected 10 arrive to-day.
War preparations continue here
methodically, while about 10000 Ko-
fans pursue their normal every day
life, free from excitement
The funeral Of the late Empress Dow
ager VIII take place on Monday next.
