desperate characters, the leading citizens

Thoroughly cognizant Of the conditions
which threaten, the committee proposes

LONDON, May N--At the Foreign OF
fee to-day it was said that the Russian
Government had communicated to Great
Britain a report similar to that trans
rnitted by the Russian Charge d'Affaires
at Peking to the Foreign Office at st.
Petersburg, to the effect that according
to reports the Japanese intended remov-
ing the Emperor of Korea to Japan in
ccntravention of the treaty OF Shimono-
seki guaranteeing the independence of
Korea. The investigation made by the
British Foreign Office, however, has
failed to confirm the reports On the
contrary, the Foreign Office has received
assurances that Japan has no idea of
taking the step indicated.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 20.-The
War Office confirms the report from
Gunshu Pass that Field Marshal Oyama
is on the eve Of taking the general
offensive and no doubt is entertained
here that General Linevitci will ac-'
cept battle in his present position. The
general staff believes Oyama's advance
was precipitated by the doubt regard
ing the Issue of the coming naval battle
between Admi;als Rojestvensky and
Togo. With an unbeaten army in front
of him, .Oyamas position might be
critical if his communications with
Japan were interrupted, even tempor-
arily.
