JAPAN LANDING TROOPS IN KOREA:
RUSSIAN SHIPS ATTACK HAKODATE
American Ship Liable
to Seizure by Japan.

Washington. Feb. 12.-Will several
hundred tons of beef on the American
steamship Korea. owned by James j..
Hill, and which sailed from Honolulu
Feb. S for the Russian stronghold at
Nladivostock. be seized by the Japan
ese as cOntraband of war? Former
President Burt. of the Union Pacific,
and Mrs. Burt are on the Korea.
This is a problem vitality affecting
this country which has been brought
up by the declaration of war between
Russia and Japan. Russian agents
purchased the beef from this coun-
try last month and loaded it on the
Korea, which left this country early
in February for Nagasaki, n stopping
point in the long voyage to Nladi-
voStock. where there is an immense
Russian garrison. Now the question
comes up whether the japanese will
not prevent this ship from proceed
ing TO NIadivostock or will seize the
beef if she attempts to do so.
The United States has put itself
very squarely on record as to contra
band of war in declaration by Pres
ident Mckinley at the beginning of
the war with Spain, which declares
that neutral flag does not cover con-
traband of war. 1t is international
usage that ships which sail for a
blOckaded port or attempt to furnish
the enemy with cOntraband of war
after war has been declared will be
warned not to do so and will have
their cargoes cOnfiscated if they at
tempt it. There is some question
about the liability to seizure to car
goes which have cleared ports before
the declaration of war. But as the
Korea has not yet reached Nagasaki
she will be afforded no protection on
this score.
