London, Oct. 10.—The Japanese
minister here, Baron Hayashi, today
described the announcement made by
the Ixindon Daily Mail's correspondent
at Kobe, Japan, that Baron De Rosen,
the Russian minister to Japan, had
presented a note to the Japanem- gov
ernment contending that Japan had no
just right to intervene in the question
of the evacuation of Manchuria, and
characterizing the proposed partition of
Corea between Ru—ia ami Japan a- l>e-
ing “fantastical and unworthy of con
sideration.”
Regarding the report tlust the Russian
fleet had arrived at Ma San Pho, Baron
Hayashi remarked Ru—ia had only
about 30 warships in the whole far east,
and it would be a physical imj->—ibili-
ty on account of coal and other supplies
for them to remain at Ma San Pho. ft
would tie the moat unlikely place for
them to go to even if Russia contem
plated hostilities, as it is within easy
striking distance of Japan's strong
naval base at Tsu, in the Straits of
Corea.
So far as Baron Hayashi
knows, it would be equally unreasona
ble for the Japanese to go to Ma San
Pho.
