VICTORIA, B. c. July News
was brought by the Empress of China
from Korea that nearly a thousand
pro-Japanese Koreans, members Of
the II Chin Hoi, society favoring
Japan, have been murdered by Kor-
can insurgents, according to statistics
collected by Japanese officials.
The Korean cabinet, at the direc-
ton of Japan, has transferred the
Korean private imperial estate to the
National assets covering the general
situation in Korea since the disband-
ment of the Korean army.
A notable article appears in the
Kukumina, an influential semi-of-
ficial organ OF Toxic, dealing with
foreign criticisms OF Japan. The
Kokunina calls upon the Japanese
people to guard against losing the
worlds good opinion and says that
in contra distinction to the universal
respect and good will entertained to-
ward Japan during the war the ma
ton has nearly lost the sympthy of
the entire world. This attitude is
considered mainly to be on account of
the Japanese governments over-anx-
iety TO enlarge the navy beyond the
financial capacity of the country.
Commenting on the article, the
Japan Times, published by Japanese
in English, says:
Calm reflection shows that the
way. in which the late war resulted
has been applied in many respects
both by those in power and by the
public in general"
The journal calls upon the Japan
ese people not to display a swollen
head"
News was brought by the Empress
of China from Dalny that. the dry
dock taken from the Russians has
been turned over free OF expense by
the Japanese government to the
Kwasaki Dock Company. The Nit
subisji shipyards at Nagasaki are re-
ported to have received orders to
build the three warships for China.
