Afghanistan may be affected.
The Russian government believes a deep
Impression has been made on International
sympathy by the note, on the subject of
Japan'a alleged violation of the law of
nations, aent to the Russian ambassadors
Monday. The govenment lays special
stress on the Japanese action at Chemulpo
pointed out, the Japanaese slezed and cut the
communications In order - to prevent
M. Pavloff, the Russian minister, and the
Runslnn'-jvarshlpa Variag and Korieta even
receiving hews of the rupture fcf diplomatic
rotations, and then- pounced upon the ships
witij a gteatly superior force. .
Russia contends that this action places
japan outside the pale of civilized nations
and that It amacka ae much of barbarism
that it must offend the chivalrlc sense of
clVUIied fair play.
In diplomatic circles the presentation of
Russia's case is considered strong, the
opinion being, even In friendly quarters,
that Japan, in its haste to cripple the Rus
sian feet at the outset, committed a
blunder by thus striking a blow without
warning, for which the loss of two ships
will not compensate. .
It is further pointed out that if Japan
had allowed M. Pavloff to return to a
Russian port on board a Russian warship
its magnanimity would have been unl-
verally applauded.
Prlnoe Lobanoff, the sovernor nf the

COREA TO BE INDEPENDENT
6nch ii Guarantee Mad hj Treaty with
Japanese Government-
WASHINGTON APPROVES THE AGREEMENT
Regarded at C ap'ltal of I nlted states
as (lever Stroke In Cob.
trast to PobMIoiT of
Russia.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-Secretary Hay
has received Information that Japan has
negotiated a treaty with Corta whereby
It guarantees the independence and in
tegrity of Corea.
Thla Is regarded here na one of the clev
erest of the many startling diplomatic
moves that have been made In the whote
eastern question. The effect Is to place
Japan on a high moral plane. It Is ex
pected here this treaty Is an announce
ment to the world that even If It prevails
In Its struggle with Russia, involving m-11-tary
occupation of Corea, Japan will take
no advantage of that, but will maintain the
Independence of tho hermit kingdom.
On the other hand the Russian note com
plaining of the violation of Corean neutral
ity by Japan Is believed here to be Intended
to pave the way for future heavy reclama
tions. Indeed, Involving the seizure qt Corea
and its annexation for violation of neutral
ity in the event that Russia triumphs In
the preaent struggle..
Contrasting tho two positions,' an official
here pointed out that the attitude of Japan
toward Corea was very similar to that of
the United States to Cuba when the repub
lic occupied the Island with Its military
forces, only to withdraw them and free
Cuba after It had rid it of Spanish control.
Russia Makes Formal Protest.
Promptly at noon today Count Cas
slnl. the Riisslrn ambassador, handed
Secretary Hav Russia's communica
tion to the powers protesting against
Japan's alleged violation of Inter
national laws. The conference be
tween the secretary and the ambassador
lasted an hour.
The full text of the note Is coming by
mall, the substance of it being communi
cated by the ambassador on the basis of
cabled advice. This government has not
yet determined what reply it will make to
Russia on the subject beyond a formal ac
knowledgment. Secretary Hay will bring
the matter to the attention of the president.
Says that Corestln I'nder Duress.
PARIS, Feb. 4. Information received
hero,, probably through Russian channels,
but credited In the highest official quar
ters, leads to the belief that Japan is
now seeking to secure the execution of a
treaty, by the emperor of Corea, giving
Japan a protectorate over Corea. It Is
the under-standing that the prospect of
thla treaty was the main reason for Rus
sia's protest to the powers against Japan
violating Corean neutrality, as Russia da
stres to reserve all rights against a Japa
nese protectorate over Corea, on the
ground that It will be of no effect, being
executed while Corea is under duress. The
emperor of Corea la said to be so com
pletely under the domination of Japan that
he Is likely to t.pprova. of such a treaty
through inability to resist. The situation
from Russia's standpoint, Is likened to a
man's signing a check under duress, or
fear. It Is the expectation that If this
main purpose of the Russian protest Is ac
complished, there will not be any Joint or
rcparate action by the powers relative to
the abstract principle of Japan's having
violated the law of nations. '(
Ccnslderod m Protectorate.
No details of the new Japanese-Corean
treaty have been announced at the State
department, which confines itself for the
present to the brief announcement of the
treaty's conclusion. It Is known, however,
that Corea In return gives Japan extensive
military rights and the officials here regard
the r.tgotlatlon of the treaty aa a declara
tion by Japan of its protectorate over the
Hermit kingdom and a move which has
long been expected. It Is supposed that
Japan la given the right to fortify Corea
In any way it wishes and practically us-
aume control of all of Corea's defenses.
This Declaration cf a protectorate over
Corea by Japan of course removes Corea
from the rank of neutral ports and makes
the Hermit kingdom as legitimate a .Held
for military operations aa Japan Itself.
Although Count Casstnl had not received
formal news of the treaty's conclusion, he
Taa informed cf it by Mr. Hay. The am-"
bassador was not surprised In view of his
recent advices from Pavavoff, the Russian
minister at Seoul, who was aware of
Japan's efforts in this direction. Russia,
it Is said, will not abandon its contention
tor the independence of Corea and will re
fuse to recognise Japan'a right to establish
a protectorate provided for in the treaty.
The Russian ambassador in his conversa
tion with the secretary pointed out that
Japan'a declaration had come too late to
be observed by Russia, as the St. Peters
burg government already had announced
that JapnJn's conduct In Corea had been
such that It would be impossible for Russia
further to regird as valid any orders or
declarations iHsued by Corea.
Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, de
clared that the Information given him by
newspaper men 'waa the first he had re
ceived. The minister said he was not
aware of any such treaty and Intimated
that perhapa reference waa had to an old
treaty between Japan and Corea. Secretary
Hay, as soon as the minister saw him,
placed the substance of Mr. Allen's cable
gram at hla disposal.
