coREAN PORTS.
Present Negotiations May Result In
Their BEING Opened.


London, Jan. 5.-The Corean charge
d'affaiIes, in an interview, said he has
good reason to believe that the ne
gotiations between Corea, the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and Rus
sia regarding Wiju and Yongampho,
will result in the opening Of those
ports at an early date. Russia, he
added is still opposing the opening,
and few Russian troops have occu-
pied Yongampho, but he believed the
negotiations would terminate in de-
cision favorable to the views OF Corea
and the powers desiring the opening
of the ports.
Corea, the charge d'affaires further
declared, would never agree to Rus
sia's proposal to- establish neutral
zone in northern Corea, as it would
prejudice the sovereignty and integ-
rity of Corea, which is guaranteed by
the Anglo-Japanese treaty.
Telegraphic advices received from
Seoul by the charge d'affaires as late
as two days ago, did not mention the
possibility of Japan landing troops at
Masampho.
Coreass relation with Russia and ia
pan were friendly and the charge
d'affaires did not believe war would
result from the present negotiations.

COAL BURNING AT SAVANNAH.
Efforts of Firemen to Check Flames
Prove Fatal

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 5.--All day
long tiremen have been lighting a
great coal fire at the wharf of the
Herman Coal and Lumber company.
The fire was discovered at 5 o'clock
in a vast pile OF coal on the wharf
1t is said there were two cargoes OF
coal in the pile. Its ignition is said
to have been due to spontaneous COM
bustion.
Streams OF water are being played
upon the fire at a late hour tonight
with little prospect of its being soon
quenched. The tiremen have worked
in cold so bitter that ice has formed
upon them. The fire chief and his
assistant have both succumbed to the
cold. A boat underneath the wharf.
from which the nremen were fight
ing the flames, capsized, precipitating
its occupants into the icy water.
The fire burned through the wharf
and much burning coal dropped into
the river.

WAR CLOUDS HANG
HEAVY over EAST
Russian Reply to Japan Not
Yet Received.
BEAR PREPARING FOR ACTION
Eastern Situation Grows More Com
pIicated and 1t Seems That War Be
tween Japan and the Czar's Coun-
try Is Inevitable.

Toxic, Jan. 5.-The Russian reply
to japan has not yet been received
1t is reported from Vladivostock that
the Russian squadron there is pre-
pairing for action.
Official dispatches y from Toxic
to Paris late yesterda. evening say
the minister for foreign affairs had
not received the Russian reply up to
that time. The officials here con-
Glued from this that Vlceroy Alexieff
is awaiting an opportune moment to
present it. No direct word had yet
been received from st. Petersburg that
the reply had been forwarded, but
the unofficial reports to the effect
that the answer has been made are
considered correct
Owing to the absence of details re-
garding the Russian reply the officials
here are careful not to express an
opinion as to the outcome, but the gen.
eral tone of comment in official cir
cles is slightly less hopeful.
The most significant feature of the
dispatch from Toxic is the statement
that Japan is fastening final prepara-
ticn for far more extensive des-
patch OF troops to Corea than at first
contemplated. The government has
now decided to send an army Of 35,-
600 men organized as two divisions,
to Corea. This is more than double
the strength of the expedition first
contemplated, and requires a large
fleet of transports and extensive ar
rangements, which are proceeding rap.
idly towards completion.
The destination of this army is en-
pected to be southern Corea, particu-
larly Fusan and Yongampho 1t Is
understood at first that Russia would
not object to the expedition, but the
magnitude Of the expedition raises
some doubts as to whether Russia will
acquiesce.

in the situation. This is due mainly
to the present small French naval

to two unimportant vessels.

New York, Jan. 5.--Preventativs
measures are being adopted by the
government, says a Herald dispatch
from Montevideo, Uruguay, to repress

during the conflict between Uruguay
and the Brazilians along the boundary
line. The Nationalists, who have q
majority in the department, say there
is no necessity for the troops to re-.

to be the decision of the government
to break down the influence Of Sara,
