Lospun, Dez. 27.—A special despstch from. Shanghai says : “ It is reported that seventeen British warships are off Chemul- po, Corea, southeast of Seoul, supporting the British consul’s protest, really amounting to an ultimatum against the kinz, practically yielding the gove roment of Corea into the hands of the Russian minister,

“The protest is especially directed against the dismissal of McLeavy Brown, British adviser to the Corean cu toms, ip favor of the Russian nominee.

“The sews bas produced consternation at Seoul, which is heightened by the krowle ge that Japan has a fleet of thirty warships awaiting the result of the British representation that Japan fully supports. Japan is irritated by thearrival of Russian troops in Corea, and it is believed she will ae them. ;

“According to advices from Tokio, Jepas has cffered to assist the Officers at Pekin in drilling the Chinese army and to con- sent to a postponement of the payment of the war indemnity. Many of the viceroys and Pekin cfficials favor the proposal.”

Fort Worrn, Texas, December 27.— James Lyons, a cattlemau, who has just returned from Mexico, says concerning | Mexican importations: “*Tbere prevails the greatest scarcity of catcle this year in Mexico ever known. It is now impossible to get a head from districts from which thousands were sent lust year. The reason is that there has prevailed a severe drought for several] months. There is no grass, and breeders have been com~ pelled to sell off their cows to keep them from dying, which has left the ranges practically “epleted.
