CUT THE CABLE.
Japanese Stop Communication Between
Their Country and corea.

Paris. Feb. S.--The French foreign
CfiiCe was advised. this afternoon, that
the Japanese have cut the cable con-
meeting Japan with Corea. The object
OF this action is believed to be to pre-
V"rt news of the operations of the jap
anese reaching the Russians, which
W1S possible, no matter how closely
censored the dispatches sent might be.
Following the breaking off of relations
between Russia and Japan the cutting
% the cable is regarded here as signi-
Gtant OF the purpose Of the Japanese
10 begin hostilities. 1t is learned that
among the troops sent by Russia to the
vicinity Of the Yalu river are $1,000
CosSacks. whose province is to destroy
tie communications OF any Japanese
army landing along the coasts or try
ing to strike Port Arthur railroad The
French military experts consider this Il
ECod tactical move, for the reason that
the japanese have only a small cavalry
force. insufficient to cope with that of
the Russians.

Hayashi, Japanese Minister, So In

London, Feb. Sharon EayaShi, the
Japanese minister. has Informed The
Associated Press that military steps
contemplated by Japan for the preser-
walton of its interests in the Far East
already have commenced.
The minister was careful to point
out. however. that this does not mean
actual host;lities, but strategic action
through pouring Japanese troops into
Corca and Mdnclluria. This, he states,
is now i'll progress.
Baron Hayashi calculated that forces
adequate to meet any emergency will
have been fully discmbarlscd within
two or three days. He regards the
breaking of negotiations as tantamount
tC war and does not look for any for
nal declaration. The minister reiter-
lteS the statement that the Russian
reply was not delivered and declares
his belief to be that it was never sent.

actions and punishments. This was
notably the case in the Turko-Russian
war and attention is called to the fact
that although Japan was the victor in
her last war with China, the neutral
powers, especially Russia and Eng
land, brought pressure to bear upon
Japan to prevent her from pursuing
her advantage beyond reasonable linz

out that the two nations profited them
selves by the acquisition of most i'm
lrrtant strategical points which had
been the object of Japanese operations.
Therefore it is said to be within the

The United States has always held

which terminated the Boxer troubles.

Minister Mirabello has cabled in
Structions to the commander Of the
Italian squadron in the Far East to
send the Italian third-class cruiser
Piemonte from Shanghai to Japan, to
keep the third-class cruiser Elba in
Corean waters to protect Italian inter-
ests. and to have the armored cruiser
Victor Pisani communicate between
them. The third class cruiser Puglia
now at San Francisco has been ordered
to Japan
Although it is hardly considered that
lhelr sailing will be necessary in view
OF the limited Italian interests in the
rar East. two other warships are ready
to start for the Far East.
An exchange of views on the subject
is taking place between the countries
whose rulers. like the King of Italy,
nave received letters from the Emperor
Of Corea announcing his intention to
abstain from any act which might be
interpreted as a breach of neutrality.
Although not unexpected, the latest
