aver the Korean gortffnment is ap

Korea will procrastinate in dealing
with the matter and possibly teay re

of unroaat is growing among the Ko
rean people, who rear that whether
It be peace or war between Russia ;

plre is imminent. It is believed that
thej>utbreak of hostilities or the an
nftincement of a protectorate of any
ffl&h wll| precipitate trouble. Foreign
ers In Seoul expect disorder and the
American residents desire a warship*
The Korean army, numbering J0,<KH)
men, is considered one of the moat
dangerous factors of the situation, |
ns an insubordinate element la believ
ed to be beyond control. In ctfse of
trouble, It la feared that the soldiers
will be" the first to lead the rioting
and begin looting. A part of. the Rus
