Russia is addressing to the powers,
either through. their representatives at
st. Petersburg, the emperor's ENJOYS
or probably through both, vigorous
communication charging Japan with
repeated violations OF the laws Of ma.
tions, first, as the note alleges, in
threatening to attcak neutral port,
Chemulpo, Korea. unless the Russian
ships within came out to face an over
whelming force, and, second, it states,
in attacking Port Arthur before war
had been declared and while the Japa-
nese minister at st. Petersburg was
still enjoying the protection and the
courtesies OF the Russian government,
to which it is claimed he had just pre-
viously addressed communication ex-
pressing his belief that the interrup.
tion OF diplomatic relations between
the two countries would be brief.
