The Situation in Corea. Seoul cable, 6 a. m.:â€"Delayed in transmission.)â€"M. Hayashi, the Japanâ€" ese Minister to Corea, who is leaving this country shortly for Japan, summed up the Corean situation yesterday | as foliows: Up to the present I have aimed at keeping the Coreans quiet. From time to time I have made suggestions reâ€" garding our future course here. To be successful we must have control which is only obtainable when there is the right of dominant power backing adâ€" vice given. The lack of this would render the services of any foreign adâ€" viser useless. Heretofore there has been no definition of imperial and ministerial functions. There must be a government, and palace intrigues must end. The useâ€" less army of Corea must be reduced, the officials must be paid a dividing wage and squeezing must be stopped. When comnlaints are made and acted unon exâ€" tortion will cease. There must be eduâ€" cation of the proper sort. The majority of the Coreans who speak foreign lanâ€" guages and have been educated abroad are absolutely without _ administrative ability, and stand for little, save specâ€" ulation. _ The educational reform will take many vears. It is also necessary take many years. It is also necessary to formulate comprehensive mining regâ€" ulations, to _ avoid _ friction _ between American, British, Japanese and other foreign capital. The Corean Government must be completely submissive to inâ€" telligent supervision. and must be backâ€" ed by force suflicieut to preclude repudiâ€" ation of its administration. Thus the Corean Government would be effectually dominated by such influence. Japan is confronted by a most difficult problem â€"to maintain the fiction of Corean inâ€" dependence while practically establishâ€" ing a protectorate, and yet avoid asâ€" suming the responsibilities of a governâ€" ing power." Fifighting the Battle O‘er Again. Tokio, noon, cable: Wounded _ offiâ€" cers who have returned to Japan from the Liao Tung peninsula give interesting details of the battle of Nanshan Hill.

Their knowâ€" ledge astonished him, and his pupils ulâ€" timately became his teachers. _ TORPEDO BOAT LOST. "A?ording to the report of Rearâ€" Admiral Wittsocft on the battle of Kinâ€" chau, our right flank was strongly supâ€" ported by the gunboat Bobr, and the torâ€" pedo boats Burni and Boiki, which afterâ€" vards returned to Port Arthur.

Admiral Takaoka reports that on June 6 he landed men on San Shan and Taku Islands in Talienwan Bay for the purâ€" pose of making a reconnaissance. They found many of the buildings thereon were only partially destroyed. In the hospitals some supplies were also found. Port Arthur Still Blocked. Chefoo _ eable, noon; â€" Chinese arrivâ€" ing from Port Arthur say the entrance to that harbor is still blocked and large vessels are unable to pass in or out. Gunâ€" boats and torpedo boats can effect a pasâ€" +age only at high tide. The Russians Lave several fortified positions extended for a distance of seven miles out, and under the forts of Port Arthur. The Japanese fleet is bombarding Port Arthur daily from a considerable disâ€" tance off shore, fearing to attempt a closer range of fire, on account of danger of mines. The Russian officials have notâ€" ifed the Chinese _ that _ officers _ who have _ treated Chinamen _ ervelly, have been punished. Both sides are doing their utmost to earn the goodâ€"will of the Chinese. ks St. â€" Petersburg cable: The _ war Oflice denies the truth of the reports, brought by Chinese fugitives to Che Foo, of a four days‘ land and sea attack on Port Arthur, and of extensive damage to the forts. An official despatch from Rearâ€" Admiral ‘Wittsoeft, dated June 7, renorts that the enemy had been bomâ€" barding Port Arthur intermittently from the sea, but does not mention serious operations from the land side. The genâ€" eral staff seems certain that the enâ€" emy‘s siege guns have not yet been brought up. Discussing the Chinese reâ€" ports brought to Che Foo a member of the general staff said: "We have had our own experience with the unreliability of Chinese reports. The idea of the exâ€" plosion of mines by a thunder storm is absurd, and the Chinese statement that the whole garrison has gone to the front is wild nonsense, betraying the deepest ignorance of the conditions governing the safeguarding of a fortress. _ The garrison of each fort never leaves . its post except to pursue a routed enemy. The troops contesting the advance upon a fortress are a few regiments of rifleâ€" men, which have all the time been on the Kwan Tung peninsula for this purâ€" pose." The tension over the situation at the theatre of the war is manifestly inâ€" creasing. The general staff is becomâ€" ing more reticent and the public is convinced that an _ important battle, which may decide the fate of the camâ€" paign, is impending. _ The outpost enâ€" vagements between the main armies of Gen. Kouropatkin and Gen. Kuroki have sudenly ceased. Such a lull frequently oceurs after two armies have been for some time in touch, and just before they ore ready to strike. Tokio cable, noon: _ Aamiral _ ‘Togo reports that on the night of June 7 he sent eight small torpedo boats from the battleships of his squadron to make a reconnaissance of Port Arthur harbor. The boats went far inside the heads, and were exposed to the Russian fire. One sailor and one petty officer were killed in the operation, but the boats escaped undamaged. No Attack on Port Arthur. Togo Also Reports. London eable: _A despatch to _ the Daily Mail from Chefoo says that junks «re continually arriving. Up to the preâ€" sent nineteen have arrived from Port Arthur, with about 2,000 Chinese refuâ€" wse; many others are following. _ The Military Governor allows all natives not c gaged in the dockyards and defences to lcave, Japanese cruisers intercepted the junks and gave the refugees food, which they needed very umech. Jt is reported that the Japanese land forces are within cight miles of Port Arthur, but so far n« important collision has taken place on land near the fortress. _ Gunboats and torpedoâ€"boat destroyers can navigate the channel at high water. The Japanese sâ€"aling operations being effective only as regards tne egress of larger vessels. The forts on the sea front at Port Arthur have been much damaged by the recurâ€" ring bombardments. St. Petersburg cable: Gen. â€" Kauroâ€" patkin telegraphs to the Czar under date of toâ€"day, as follows: "About 1 pm. Fuesday a _ Japanese squadron appeared off the west coast of the Liao Tung peninsula. _ It was at first composed of six vessels, but was afterwards reinforeed by eleven others. Complete. it consisted of six ships of the first class, while. the rest were second and third class vessels and torâ€" pedo boats. _ The squadron cruised in sections, _ bombarding â€" various _ points east of _ Kinchau and _ Sanouchchen (Sinengyuchen), directing â€" their fire at our posts and patrols wherever they appeared. _ The â€" bombardment _ ceased at 7 o‘clock, when the squadron steamâ€" ed southward. _ We sustained no Joss, and ‘the damage was immaterial. _ At 8 a.m. Wednesday ecight vessels again appeared south of Kwantsiaâ€"Tung and lowered boats. Six others commenced to bombard the coast near Senyuchen, and the town itself. _ There was no landing. _ Japanese troops are concenâ€" Fire Directed at Russian Posts and Patrols. Japanese scouts discovered" that there were mines at some spot at the foot of the hill. It was determined they should be definitely located. Hundreds volunâ€" teered to go to what appeared to be certain death. This led the second adâ€" vance, and it was found that heavy rains had washed away the covering of earth and had exposed the mines. Enâ€" gineers cut the conecting wires, renderâ€" ing the mines useless, and sustained no loss. The volunteers were nearly all killed in the subsequent ineffectual atâ€" tack on the hill. The Osaka men from the right wing, which advanced through water along the shore, encountered a body of Russians, also in the water. A fierce fight ensued, both sides being waist deep in the sea. When the Rusâ€" sians finally retreated the water was literaly crimson. Both sides lost heavyâ€" ily. During the day the Russians used several war balloons, well out of range. In the trenches, after they had been captured, were found many articles of clothing belonging to women and chilâ€" dren, making it evident that the Rusâ€" sians intended their defences to be perâ€" manent. The Admiralty is not disposed _ to credit the report that the Port Arthur squadron has left Port Arthur, or the rumor of its junction with the Vladivoâ€" stock squadron, although this is evidentâ€" ly part of the programme. If it comes to the worst, the Port Arthur squadron will go out and give battle. At the Admiralty the reported action of the Japanese warships in shelling the coast near Kai Chou will be interpreted if confirmed as a demonstration to disâ€" courage the sending of a strong force south against Gen. Oku. Mystification concerning the strength of the forees for the south continues. The War Office, which seemingly is not fully advised in regard +o Gen. Kouropatkin‘s plans, says the Commanderâ€"inâ€"Chief‘s ability to deâ€" tach an adequate force will depend upon the number of troops at Gen. Kuroki‘s disposal, concerning which, apparently, there is no accurate information here, although the belief is that the Japanese commander has about fortyâ€"eight batâ€" talions at Fengâ€"Wangâ€"Cheng and thirtyâ€" six in the vicinity of Takushan. The adâ€" vices received at the War Office are to the effect that the Japanese have abanâ€" doned their advance north of Fengâ€" Wangâ€"Cheng and west of Siuâ€"Yen. The Rusisans are holding Siuâ€"Â¥en and Saiâ€" matsza. While declining to furnish speâ€" cific information on the subject, it seems certain that the Russians are now in wireless communication with Port Arâ€" thur. By no other way could the reâ€" ceipt of Admiral Wittsoeft‘s despatch of June 7, reporting the intermittent bomâ€" bardment of Port Arthur from the sea, be accounted for.
