KOREA TO BE NEUTRAL.
Lies Between Japan and Russia and
Is Friendly to Both.

Paris, Jan. 26.-The Korean legation
while not officially informed Of the dec
laration of neutrality on the part OF
Korea in the event of war between Russia
and japan, believes that such a declara-
ton has been issued, as it is on a line
with information heretofore received
The minister of Korea said:
by its proximity TO Japan and Russia
our country is under the obligation OF
maintaining good relations with both
powers. consequently we can only re-
main completely foreign to a conflict
Should war come the Korean government,
will use its troops to prevent an inva-
sion by the Japanese on their way to
Manchuria. We have 10000 men well
equipped to enforce our neutrality. More
over, we have 5000, 900 people from whom
achievements can be drawn. If Japan
needs to transport troops she must do SO
by sea.
THE latest dispatches we have receiv-
ed from Seoul announced that quiet
reigns through Korea, particularly In the
capital. and the general opinion pre-
walls that war will not occur
