Secured Korea.

ST PETERSBURG, November 25.-The
official Russian news agency has received a
dispatch from Shanghaim giving a sensa-
tional account of the manner in which the
japanese forced the Korean government
to acquiesce to the treaty between Korea
and Japan. The telegram purports to be
based on direct news from Seoul and con-
tains the following particulars:
On Friday, November II. at noon Baron
Hayashi and Messrs. HARVARD and Kokubu
entered the palace with the object of fore
ing the emperor to sign the treaty. The en-
peror and the ministers obstinately resisted.
At 8 o'clock in the evening Baron Hayashi
having informed the Marquis Ito of the sit
uation, the latter, accompanied by Gen.
Hassgawa, commander of the Japanese
troops in Korea, with a military escort, in
Guiding gendarmerie, came to the palace but
til midnight had not succeeded in persuad-
ing the emperor to sign. Thereupon Secre-
tary Stevens brought from the ministry of
foreign affairs the official seal of the minis
try, which was obtained by force. and at
] 80 o'clock in the morning the Japanese
themselves placed the seal On the treaty
