Paris, January A dispatch to
the Havas Agency from Toxic today
says:
The preparations for the emborka'
ton of two divisions of the Japanese
troops ale continuing actively. 1t is
believed they will be dispatched to
ports in South Korea to restore order.
Oficisl dispatches sent from Toxic
late yesterday evening say the minis
ter foreign affairs had not received
the Russian reply up to that time.
The officials here conclude from this
that Viceroy AlexieT Is awaiting an
opportunity to present it. No direct
word has been received from St. Pc
tersburg that the reply had been for
varded, but the urofficiai report TO
the effect that the answer has been
made are considered correct.
Owing TO the absence oG details re-
sarding the Russian reply the officials
here are careful not to express an
opinion as to the outcome, but the
general tone of comment in official
circles is slightly less hopeful. Most
significant feature OF the dispatch
from Toxic Is the statement that
apan is Fastening final preparations
for a far more expensive dispatch OF
troops to Korea than at first contem-
plated. The government has now de-
cidsd to send an army Of $4,000 men
Organized as two divisions to Korea.
This is more than double the strength
of the expedition first contemplated,
end REQUIRES a large fleet OF trans
lLorts and extensive arrangements,
which are proceeding rapidly towards
loompletiCa. The destination Of this
army is expected to be southern no
rea, particularly Fusan and Yongam
pho. It was understood at first that
Russia would not object to the expe
idition, but the magnitude Of the ex-
pedition raises some doubts as to
whether Russia will acquiesce.
