The last copy to hand of The Kobe Herald publishes the following telegram, "ated, Seoul, 1st April
Russia bas obtained permission to buy a tract of laud not over 10 Corean miles in area, at the entrance to Masampo, and the affair is concluded. The land first demanded by Russia measured over 10 Corean miles out- side the concession at Masampo. The means of the quick settlement of the affair was the strong attitude taken up by Japan. The Rus sian Naval officers are reported to be displeased ‹ with the issue of the affair." On this The Kobe Herald says that it is understood that the tract of land now to be taken by Russia by purchase lies within the limits in which it has hitherto been allowed to foreigners to hold land. It is be- lieved therefore that the real status of the new Russian possession is that she will choose a tract within the boundary and the Corean Government will buy it up for her from the holders.
Japanese rights at Masampo will not be damaged and the Corean Government has also secured that the section allotted to foreigners at Masampo shall not be encroached on by Russia.
