Make accommodation for 20 policemen. It will be necessary also to find accommodation for 300 marines; but you will act with caution as the notice of dispatch of troops is not yet given to Chinese Government.

I verbally informed your last telegram to 李鴻章 六月七日. 2. p. m. He told me that has not yet been notified from 北京 and expressed his anxiety and his hopes as follows: As he does not send troops to 京城 Japanese army should not advance any further up to 仁川. 伯爵伊藤 and you should not misunderstand his deed in Corea. It would be of utmost importance to avoid carefully collision between both troops as China always respect Japan, and also Japanese army as small as possible as the King of Corea and Corean people would be frightened. Chinese army will proceed to 全州 direct not any treaty port. He will immediately withdraw Chinese army after the disturbance settled according to the Treaty of 明治十八年.

督辨交渉通商事務 sent me a copy of telegram from 洪 to the effect that insurgents were defeated bitterly near 全州. Corean Government, being informed of the despatch of the Japanese soldiers, were surprised and have telegraphed evening 六月七日 Chinese Government to suspend the landing of Chinese soldiers. It is very likely that the telegram sent by 督弁交渉通商事務 has been forged in order to make it pretence for asking Chinese Government suspension of landing. Renirt by telegraph 5,000 yen for making accommodation of marines.

Have seen 督弁交渉通商事務. Told him as instructed by telegram 六月六日. He has requested to ask Japanese Government to suspend the landing of Japanese soldiers on the ground that he does not consider present moment so pressed as to need armed protection; that such act of Japanese Government would induce other governments do the same and that the landing of the Japanese soldiers would cause great excitement among Coreans. But I had refused absolutely.

The reply to my communication of 六月七日 received from 総理衙門 六月九日 is as follows: The dispatch of troops from China at the request of Corea is in accordance with precedent protecting tributary state and solely for the purpose of destroying rebels in interior. They will be withdrawn immediately after the matter is settled. Although the actual situation in 仁川 and 釜山浦 is quiet Chinese men of war will be stationed at such open ports for the time bring merely as measure of protection of her Legation. As Japan despatches troops exclusively for the protection of her Legation, Consulates and marchant it naturally follows that a large number of them is not required, and moreover having been despatched without request of Corea, they should absolutely abstain from proceeding into interior thereby causing the excitement of the people. It is further apprehended that if they meet with Chinese soldiers complications may arise in consequence of difference in language and military etiquette. I am requested to telegraph the above to my Government. Another communication on the same day states that 在日本清国公使 has been instructed by telegraph to announce the dispatch of Chinese soldiers. Shall I protest against the first communication? I ask for immediate instructions.
