"Imperial Japanese Government learn that the Russian Govomment have recently addressed a note to the Powers in which the Japanese Government are charged with having committed certain acts in Corea which are considered by Russia to be in violation of International Law and all orders and declarations of the Corean Government are declared in that note to he invalid. The Japanese Government do not find it necessary in the prosont instunco to concern themselves in any way with viown, opinions, or dealarutions of the Russian Government. But they believe it to be their duty to misstatements of fact which, if portaitted to remain uncontradicted, might give rise in the minds of neutral Powers to incorrect references and canelusions. Accord ingly the Japanese Government make the following statement respecting the fire acts which in the note referred to are declared to be fully proven and confirmed facts,

which actually existed between Japan and Russia. It is well known that the maintenance of the independeurs and terrorisl integrity of Carea is one of the objects of the present war, 14and the despatch of troops to the menaced territory was a matter of right and necessity which had the distimet consent of the Corean Government. A sharp distinction, is to be drawn between the sending of Japanese troops to Manchuria without the consent of China while peaceful negotiations were still in progress.

2. The Japanese Government declare that the |allogation under this number is untrue. They did not stop the delivery of Russian telegrams
by the Danish cable. Neither did they destroy the Corcan Government's telegraphic com- munication. Regardling the attack on the 6th February on the two Russian men-of-war at Chemolpe, it is only necessary to say that a state of war existed, and that Corea having given her consent at her convenience to the landing of Japanese troops at Chemulpo, the port of Chomulpo had ceased to be neutral at least between the belligerante.

It may be added that the Russian Consul at Fusan remained at his post as late as the 8th. February. It is reported that he was compolled to stay so long in the absence of instractions which the Russian Minister apparently did not cure to give his Consul before his departure When it was made known that he was instructed to leave that port, the Japanese Consul there offered him every facility for his departure for Shanghai via Japan."
