JAPAN FORCED COREA TO YIELD.
Coeroed by Bayonets and New Prisoner.
the Emperor Declares.

WASHINGTON, Dec. i?.-Sensational dis
closures concerning the situation in Corea
growing out Of the Japanese protectorate,
are expected soon. Homer B. Hubert,
envoy from the Emperor of Corea, has
received cablegram from that ruler which
is startling in its revelations concerning
the circumstance surrounding the ex-
tension Of the protectorate.
The cablegram is said TO have been pri-
vately sent to avoid Japanese espionage.
In brief it declares that the Emperor was
forced at the point of Japanese bayonets
to consent to the protectorate and that he
is now virtually prisoner in his palace
surrounded by soldiers. The cablegram
is protest against the protectorate.
Some time ago Mr.. Hubert presented a
letter from the Emperor, which Secretary
Root gave 10 the President After con-
sidering it they decided that in view of the
secrecy imposed by the Emperor and the
fact that since writing the letter and en-
trusting it to the envoy ne had signed the
the United States Government was not
called upon to interfere.
The cabegram, which was handed to the
President to-day by Mr.. Hubert, is in
tended to meet these objections. The
Corean Emperor asserts that he enjoined
secrecy because he feared for his life, but
since the official visit OF Prince Min, late
Minister TO Paris, and his protest, the veil
of secrecy is lifted and the Corean protest
against the Japanese proteotorate becomes
public,
The Emperor declares that the agreement
which he signed should not be recognized as
valid because it was procured under duress.
The Corean ruler invokes the treaty rela-
tions between the United States and Corea,
and calls attention to the fact that the
United States heard only from Japan before
approving the protectorate. The protest
is radical disavowa and plea for Ameri
can intervention.

DREAM SAVED HIN SI2, 800.
PopkIn Woke Up In Time to See Thief Grab
at His SAMPLE Bag-Out 81 900.

Louis Popkin, a jewelry salesman Of Kan
sas City, arrived in this city four days ago
with 81 800, which he carried in belt around
his waist, and a satchel, which he says
contains $1,000 worth of samples. He
hired room in the boarding house Of
Hem NJ. Dursky at 142 Clinton street and
made no secret of the treasures he carried,
At night, when he went TO bed, he put the
belt under the pillow and the sutchel under
the bed.
Early yesterday morning, as Popkin
described it afterward, he had a terrible
dream. He thought the house was re-
volving while a fierce tornado ragged
without. Then suddenly he roof caved
in and he woke up and jumped out Of
bed Just in time to see a man cropping
under the bed. The burglar fed and
Popkin quickly placed his hands under
the pillow and found that the belt was
gone. He ran down the stairs in his night
clothes, but the burglar was nowhere in
sight when he reached the street.
He found policeman at the next corner
and when they went back to investigate
they found money strewn in the halls and
on the starways leading to Popkin's room,
They gathered up 81 800 which the burglar
must have dropped out Of the belt as he ran.
Popkin breathed a sigh Of relief when he
found that the satchel was safe
Max Adler of 1888 Broome street was sub
sequently arrested on suspicion of being
the thief. When Adler was arraigned in
the Essex Market police court Popkin
said:
Judge, that was lucky dream, The
roof fell in just in time, because the burglar
was reaching under the bed for the satchel.
] am out n thousand at that, but it might
have been worse"
Adler was held for examination.

BRITISH oFfIcERs cENsuRED.
Lords OF the Admiralty Punish Those Con.
cerned In Relief ships Grounding.
Special Caole Despatch to THE SuN.

Special Cd6le Despatch TO THE SIN,
LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Lords of the
Admiralty, who have revie wed the findings
Of the court martial which exonerated the
commander Of the relief ship Assistance,
which in October last grounded in Tetuan
Bay Morocco, not only declare their dis
agreement with it, but say they are unable
to appreciate the reasons that led to the
finding,
They furthermore sharply condemn the
captains and other officers of the battleships
Commonwealth, Hindustan and Canopus
and the cruiser Arrogant for neglecting their
duties and precautions on the same occa-
sion.
Capt Startin is removed from the COM
mand of the Commonwealth, and the other
Captains are formally censured. Four
Lieutanants are superseded. Regret is en-
pressed that the commanding Admiral may
have assigned an unsafe berth to the Assist
ance, although the latters commander
was not relieved OF responsibility thereby.
The incident has caused sensation less
because of the Admiraltys unusual and
drastic action than because of the detailed
grounds for its severity, which show sur
prsing laxity, and imply that luck alone
saved the battleshps and cruiser from
wreck, owing to neglected precautions in
a dangerous anchorage in the presence of
warnings of coming gale.
The newspapers emphatcaIly commend
the Admiralty, incidentally sympathiaing
with Capt. Startin, who has good record
The Admiraltys statement does not men

from their downtown headquarters, be-
cause they said they would not leave the
union. Their places were quickly filled.

employed by the New York company we're
responsible for their being forced out.

and pitched battle followed.
