TOKIO, May 19. The Russians are apparently trying to establish a Settlement at Yongampho, on the seaside; southwest of Wiju, forming with Takushan two ports commanding the mouth of the Yalu.
Yongampho is capable of conversion into a good barbour. The pretext of the Russians is that they require it as a place for shipping the timber they are cutting in the forests of Pengus, which mountain the Coreans declare is not included in the Russian lumber concession. The Govern- ment at Seoul has therefore protested strongly against the purchase of land by the Russians at Yongampho.
