The Queen, Who Was the Power Be hind the Throne, Assasinated. ^ _ j* Admiral Carpenter N<~ * .o Government at Wa & a hat He Has Sent Ships oare for American Interests in Seoul. Washington. I). C., October 12.—Ad miral Carpenter, in command of the Asiatic squr ron, cabled the Navy De partment to-day that he had dispatch er! the gunboat Petrel from Chefoo to Chemulpo, the seaport nearest Seoul, the capital of Korea. The admiral sent also a cipher cable. The Yorktown al ready has gont to Chemulpo, so that the United States will have two ships near the scene of the reported conilict. According to unofficial reports, tho Queen’s paiace has been invaded by a mob of the Qucu’s shot. She has been regarded as the main influence in the progress of Korean affairs, although the King is nominal ruler. The main sig- | xtilicance of the present agitation is that it reopens the question of Japanese influence in Korea. The riots are said to have resulted from conflicts between the Japanese and anti-Japanese elements. Prince Pak, who was driven from Korea for ( his too zealous adherence to the Ja- ! panose cause, called at t'he Navy De- ! partment on Thursday and at the State j Department yesterday. These calls have been speedily followed by the con centration of ships at Chemulpo, but it cannot be learned that this move is due to Prince Pak’s representations. The receipt of the cipher cable turd tho dispatch of the Petrel tends to confirm the unofficial reports of the riot. Dur> ing tho last disturbance at Seoul United States marines were landed as a means of preserving peace and protecting Am erican interests which, however, are | not extensive, beyond the United States j legation, presided over by Minister Sill, and the United States consulate. The j State Department has not heard from i LlivJ I Cpi UOCU UXU I OD Ul. UGViU. Later—Admiral Carpenter’s cipher cable said that affairs in Seoul are iu a very disturbed state and that officers of what is known as the "King’s party” have taken refuge in the United States Legation building. It is reported. Ad miral Carpenter says, that the Queen of Korea has been assassinated. At the urgent demand of the United Stales Charge d'Affaires art Seoul, Admiral Carpenter, says the marine guard of the cruiser Yorkrtown in the harbcr of Chemulpo, was sent to Seoul for the protection of the Legation and Anit.fi can interests generally. The Admiral also says tha»c as a further protection he ordered the gunboat Petrel to pro ceed from Chefoo to Chemulpo without delay and that she sorted this morn ing. The orders to the Petrel require her to cross the Yellow sea. and it is expected that she will cover tho distance in three days at the most. ARRIVED IX ST. LOl'IS.

It was not that I cared about the stcry. 1: was not true. I had noth ing to fear. So little did it impress me after I supposed it was relegated to the oblivion where it belonged, that I had absolutely forgotten it. "I wrote a statement, it is true. Everybary knows that. It was made public , but somewhat garbled. There was nothing mysterious about it and no envelope enclosed it “The press talks of my coolness, my nervo. It is not my fortitude in this hour of darkness, it Is my all abiding faith in God that sustains me. I have faith in his goodness, that he will pro tect me because 1 am innocent of these frightful crimes. “The District Attorney has made con siderable sport of my ignorance of the word ‘alibi.’ I had never been inter ested in things criminal; I have never read a trial, 'the word was as strange to me as if it had been Sanskrit After my arrest I heard the word several times, wondered what 13 was and did not ask. as I knew it would make me appear ignorant The conversation soon instructed me.” GRANTED A FORECLOSURE.
