Corean minister, said to the Associat-
ed Press yesterday he would not be
surprised should Corea appeal to the
United States for good Offices in her
behalf in case of the invasion of Core
an territory by one or other power
Under the treaty between the United
States and Corea this is permissible.
Moreover, continued the minister, the
people of Corea regard the United
States in the most friendly way, be-
cause of its fair policy and, further,
owing to the fact that it was the first
country to sign treaty with the ''Her-
man Kingdom"
Russia does not want war;" added
the minister, "and the Japanese gov
eminent does not want war, but the
Japanese people, l fear, will force
conflict
No War for Weeks.
Toxic, Jan. 9.-The Japanese gov
eminent has practically determined to
continue the negotiations. 1t is dissat-
isied with Russias terms but does
not feel warranted in issuing an ulti-
matum or breaking off the negotia-
tons and will make another effort to
secure their modification before resort
ing to force. 1t is anticipated that
the discussion will consume a few
weeks, during which interim breach
of peace is very improbable.
Concessions by Russia.
Berlin, Jan. 9.-The Tageblatz' Paris
correspondent says the French govern
ment has been Informed that Russia's
answer to Japan makes farreaching
concessions respecting Corea and that
these concessions are equivalent to
permitting the occupation of Corea by
Japan on lines somewhat similar to
but Russia firmly rejects any right OF
Japan to mingle in the affairs of Man
churia
English Man Jap Ships.
Genoa, Jan. 9.-The warships Niasin
and Kasega, built here for the Argen-
tine Republic and purchased by Japan,
will probably sail today. The vessels
are commanded by two Englishmen
Captain Boytes and Captain Lee, and
the other officers are also English with
the exception of five Japanese. The
crews, numbering 800 men to each
ship, are about equally divided be-
tween the Italian and English nation
alities. One hundred and twenty
English artillerymen embarked on the
vessels Thursday night. The com
manders have received sealed orders.
Japan Wins g Point.
Paris, Jan. Sit appears that Rus
sia's reported concessions to Japan re-
lated to the recognition of the prepon-
derance of the interests of Japan in
Corea. This has been the crux of
the question between the two powers
UP to the present moment. Just how
far the concession goes it is impossi-
BILE to learn, but the effect n Toxic,
according to the Information obtained
has been more satisfactory than the
press dispatches show and it is be-
lieved that negotiations will continue.
1t appears a misunderstanding oc-
Cured between Viceroy Alexie and
the Russian government, and that the
note previous to the one just submit
| ted did not contain a recognition OF
HJapanese preponderating influence in
hv part of Corea, as Russia and the
ie world believed. The latest note
n6ia clears up the situation, but
it recognizes Japan's pre-
pg Interests in all Corea is
now.
