THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 190f. T II AN IMPORTANT PORT IN THE EVENT OF A &USSO-JAPANESE WAR Troops Are Landed at Masampho, Corea. RUSSIA STILL DEBATING Answer Will Not Be Delivered for Another Day. 1 PACE HOPES ARE SMALL Japan Will Never Consent to Any but 'Chinese Control of Manchuria, and This Russia Holds Is Impossible. UONDfJN, .Jan. 23.-?Thc . delay In the Russian reply to the latest note from Japan is causing the customary crop of sensational statements pointing to the im minence of war in the Far East. The Dally Graphic this morning says it understands that there la no likelihood of a compromise, owing to the unyielding at tiude of Japan on the Manchurian ques tion, and the fact that in her last note 10 Russia Japan struck out the whole article in the draft of the treaty relating to the demand of Russia for a. neural zone. The correspondent of the Morning Post at Chefoo has sent in an alarming report that 12,000 Japanese troops have landed at Masampho, In Southern Corea, and the Port Arthur correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald also re fers In a dispatch to the fact that the news of the occupation of Masampbo is being received calmly. Special dispatches from Seoul say the Emperor of Corea has appointed a new Cabinet, ' with Tf Ton Glk as minister of "War and Finance. Tl Yon Glk has ordered 10.000 rjflea for the army. Reports have been sent in from Chefoo that quantities of dynamite have been found under the bridges of the Manchur ian line above Port Arthur. The supposed Intention was to blow up the bridges as soon as hostilities began. The Toklo correspondent of the Dally Mall sends the following dispatch: "The J1J1 Shlmpo says that on the day following the ratification of the Chinese American treaty, Russia notified Japan it was useless to negotiate a neutral zone on the Yalu, as the ratification of both treaties showed that Manchuria was Chi nese domain." Cabling from Shanghai the correspond ent there" of the Dally Mall declares the Chinese government has learned that Rus sia Is sepding a large force to Chinese Turkestan. The St Petersburg corre spondent of the Dally Telegraph cables to his paper as follows: "I learn that difficulty has arisen through reluctance to grant the same, free dom of Immigration, into Manchuria to the Japanese as to other foreigners, for? fear that the Japanese would soon "overrun it. Whatever concessions Russia offers re garding "Manchuria will -probably be. of fered In the first Instance to the United States." REAL ISSUEWITH RUSSIA. France Informed It Is Maintenance of White Supremacy. . PARIS, Jan. 22. Information reaching tho Foreign Office during the last 24 hours- shows a definite Improvement In the Russo-Japanese situation. The answer of Russia has not yet been sent, but it will be dispatched within the next two days. The question of tho limitation of Japan ese settlement In Manchuria has been one of the most difficult under consideration. The Russian view, as made known here, as the real Issue, is the maintenance of white supremacy In Northern Asia. The situation Is compared with that of Cali fornia during the Chinese Invasion, com pelling the United States to exclude the Chinese. Owing to the importance at tached to this branch of tho controversy, Russian officials have taken steps to se cure copies of the British laws restrict ing Mongolians from ' entering Australia. It Is maintained that Russia's insistence that reasonable limits be placed on tho establishment of Japanese settlements in Manchuria has the same end as the Amer ican and British laws In protecting their commerce and labor of whites from the Mongols. It appears that Russia Is chiefly appre hensive of the springing up of large Jap ancso settlements and villages along the lines of the Russian railroads and other centers of Russian Improvement and de velopment, and it is held that such a Japanese Influx will practically nullify Russia's privileged position in Manchuria, which Japan has been willing to recog nize. RUSSIA IS GROWING NERVOUS. Report. That Japan. Is-Grimiy Waiting Causes Weakness on Bourse. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 22. Tho Czar lias not yet called the Council to consider the Japanese reply, but It Is said at the Foreign Office that the summons may be issued any day. The delay, coupled with dispatches from Toklo, saying that Japan Is armed and grimly waiting, has caused a sllcht renewal of public nervousness. which was reflected by the weakness on tho Bourse today. This alarm Is seeming ly not shared in the higher government circles, where it is insisted that the Czar's pacific declarations wore not idle words. The worst that Is now anticipated Is the breakdown of the negotiations in the ent of Russia's response being unaccept able to Janan. k The papers today; published prominently the Associated Press statement that the United States Asiatic Squadron will re main In Philippine waters. The Gazette, In pointing out tho mischief caused by er roneous statements that Admiral Evan6 destination was Yongampho, Corea, in stead of Olongapo, Sublg Bay, near Ma nila, welcomes the correction as evidence .that the United States will not meddle In the quarroL NEITHER SOLICIT MEDIATION. United States Has Sounded Japan and Russia on This Score. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. It Is learned that the United States Government has been cautiously and quietly making in sulries at the various foreign capitals supposed to be particularly Interested In a peaceful solution of the Eastern prob lem, with a view to ascertaining whether anything cced Dc aone toward bringing Russia and Japan together. It soon de veloped that neither of these principals were willing to solicit the good offices of outside powers In the adjustment of their dispute, so the movement was never for mally initiated.

The situation in Corea Is arousing fresh apprehension of renewed trouble In the Far East. It I has been the opinion of military experts ( here that In the event of war betweeny Russia and Japan, Corea would be cnadeX the battleground, at. least in the begin- nlng. i Mr. Alien, tho American Minister at I S(vmi rnMprt thn Statn Denartment todav from Seoul as follows: I "rnndnnhin Histiirhnnrpo thrnnfrhnn Corea. The Japanese have been attacked ( In many places. It Is learned that In view of the pos sibility of Corea being unable to afford proper protection to Japanese subjects the Toklo authorities have dispatched a Japanese military officer of the highest rank, namely, a Major-General to Seoul, where he will be Jn a position to7 direct any military operations that Japanese troops may undertake. The Corean gov ernment has 3500 men under arms, but they have not been trained la a modern school of war, and resemble constabulary rather than soldiers. "It is anticipated here that Japan In Corea will repeat the performance of Russia In Manchuria, and make the dis turbances on the Japanese Railway the ground for a military occupation of the line in great force, corresponding to the Russian occupation of the Manchurian Railway.

The Dowager Empress of China is thor oughly alive to the peril threatening China as a result of the Russo-Japanese crisis and has. according to the Globe's Shang hai correspondent, determined at all costs to fight for the freedom of Manchuria from foreign control. Conferences be tween the Dowager Empress and the lead ing statesmen. It Is added, have con vinced her that any other policy would be tantamount to dynastic suicide, as the dishonor of the ancestral tombs implied by foreign domination- would be unpar donable In the eyes of the Chinese, and unless a vigorous effort Is made to re assert Manchurian authority the Talplngs and Kolashul will attempt to restore the Ming Dynasty, with the result of the complete destruction of China. The correspondent adds that the Dow ager Empress has been informed that some of the foreign pIRcers are willing to give the Manchurians a final opportunity of rehabilitating themselves even to the extent of aiding them by force. If neces sary, provided the .Manchu Government Is sincerely favorable to reform. The Russian Minister at Pekln. the corre spondent says, has learned of the result of the conferences and Is convinced that Jn the event of war China will -be- forced to participate, with the result, that the whole world will possibly- become in volved. "In the meanwhile," tho dispatch con cludes, "Japan, though ostensibly engaged- with lt3 own quarrel, is" really the spokesman of the whole group of powers devoted to the policy of anti-partition and who have virtually agreed together to de fend China."
