An important point, he said, lay in the fact that the Japanese -had . been holding for many months the telegraph lines of Korea, in spite of the fact that Korea was gp perfectly neutral country Ad miral Alexiefi suspected the Japanese of intercepting a telegram in cipher, orderine the Variag to leave Chemul po, and return to.
