Dear Friend:

We are pleased to share with you that San Francisco Chronicle
contributed to ICAS the subject piece, "COREAN REFUGEES." Exiles From 
the Hermit Nation. THE WAIFS OF A REBELLION.", dated Friday, June 19, 
1885, (ICAS Lecture No 2000-0711-SFC).

This 115 year-old news article is hard to read when scanned into this
electronic format.  However, the flavor of the original does add to the
immediacy -- as well as accuracy -- of the piece.

It depicted that " ... Corea is called an independent kingdom, but it 
really occupies the position of the ground grain between the upper 
millstone of Japan and the nether millstone of China. As if the grinding 
of these two outside nations was not enough, Corea has also of late been 
rent by internal dissensions".

A complete text of the article is posted on the "ICAS Special
Contributions" page:
