The Far East.
WARSHIPS LEAVING THE BALTIC. At the recent secret conference of Russian officials at Fort it was considered that Korea was destined to be the field where would be decided the contest for supremaqpl between Russia and Japan in the Far East. Russia’s action in obtaining a foothold on the Yalu and Tamen river# was based upon a grant of forest rights, at the time when the Emperor of Korea was sheltered at the Russian Legation in 1896, to a Russian merchant, who immedintely transferred his rights to the,, Russian authorities. A second Russian squadron, under Admiral Virtenus, is leaving Kronstadt, in the Baltic, to join Admiral Stokelberg’s squadron at Port Arthur. 1 ' » The Times” states that negotiations for the opening of Wiju, on the Yalu river, to foreign trade, have been suspended, owing .to the .opposition of M. Pflvloff, Russian Minister to Korea.
