The mobilization of tho Japanese

according to a Vladivostock dispatch
to the Cologne Gazette, to open acts ot
hostility on the part of Coreans to
ward Japanese, probably necessitating
active measures of defense of Japanes e

The Cologne Gazette considers that
this dispatch is an admission that Ja

of arms and controverts the rumors
to the effect that Russia would re
gard the landing of any considerable
Japanese force in Southern Corea a« a
