LiuKiiiisBecogakediEniparor,, by PRINCE TUAN, HAS ISSUED ' 133EOT -FOR A GEN1E5RAL. UPRIs4 ING-PRiE3SII TO TAKE ONE REGIMENT FROM ttTJBA FOR' CHINA. London, July 18. While It is untrue that any declaration of war has been made 'by China against Russia, it is accepted as a fact by air .JEJuropean powens tha. many, millions of Chinese Khave committeed themselves to the de fiance of the western world. It is the concensus of diplomatic, opinion that the only reason why the , first aggression was against Russia wa? that she is the only power whose territory is centiSU ous.to that of China. . It Is hardly expected vit China will pretend to make her warlike policy krowh by withdrawing , her jnlnistersi from the foreign capitals. The nation which descends to the role of savages by such T-duct aa that of the Chinese at Pekin will not seriously bother with formalities. Those who know China suggest that Prince Tuan probalbly believes that the Chinese re reentaUves abroad have been sacrificed by the powers In revenge for the fate of their mlntetem at Pekin. i uch action,- it is pointed out,, would be a matter of indiferencotOt3 an be cause ,the .'Chinese. : diplomats . abroad nearly all belonged, to .tbe. party op posed to. him. i ' - ' ! Each day's developments increase the European conception of the magnitude 6f the past which affects civilization. Those, who a few days ago prophesied tbjat half a million men. would be need ed and that a Jong war was inevitable re no longer ridiculed. It is learned that & large part , of the output of arms and ammunition of f the factories of Great Britain arid 'Germany have been going to-China "for the past four year. France has ' now proposed to prohibit the traffic,' but this Is a good deal like locking the stable after the horse is stolei . There, ie evidence that China possesses ; 900,000 modern rifles. , . It is uncertain how long the powers will keep up the pretension that there is no war with China and continue to harbor "the Chinese ': representatives. Germany'si refusal ?toj.ailow them . ,to; continue In secret , &mmuriicatlon with China will prolbably jbe adopted 'by other powers. - Thare' is little fresh news from China. It is not, known what has happend at Tien Tsin since July 14, or what has become of defeated Chinese force. It is reported from Shanghai that the pow ers are" sending 'more warships there in viewof possible trouble. There are al ready nine vessels between Shanghai and Woosung, besides' eight of the na tive city.; From thft same source it is announced that the British eruiser Ter rible and four allied cruisers, the names of which are not given, are off Shang-hai-Kawn, which is at the eastern end of the great wall to reconnoiter and cover the landing 15,000 Japanese troops. There is also a story from Shanghai tha- the consuls . there have unani mously agreed' to recognize Lii Hung Chiang, the viceroy of Canton, as em peror of China, as far as the collection of revenue is concerned, believing they may implicitly trust him. It is apparently true that Li Hung Chang has appointed Mr. . Taylor &ta: tistical secretary of customs as acting inspector, general of customs ad inter ium, vice Sir Robert Hart. The Times' Shanghai correspondent, telegraphing under date of July 16, says the reported' trouble at Ningpo has been greatly exaggerated. Tne local panic among natives which is gradual ly subsiding was mainly 4ue to the published accounts of the wholesale killing of innocent natives in Tien Tsin. at a sAimcE ...FOR CASH : ' X .

If the reported Chinese invasion of Siberia proves trues' it will. Of course, immensely compli-H cate the situation from! the internal ti'oiial point of view. As stated in the? St. Petersburg despatch of July 13, the Chinese had already peremptorily orf ' diered all Russians to quit Manchuria,; bt no one imagined they would be au-4 ; daqious enough to break out of their own country and attack Russian terri-'. tory. Such an attack, if It has beenv, made, of course constitutes in itself a, declaration of war, rendering formal notification,,, needless. A separate at-& taokby the Chinese on Russia means giVing" Russia, according to the views expresesd in Europe, additional excuse far an isolated descent on Pekin and anr additional ciainn to assert greater ln puefie .th.nHle otier powers -aid ob tain greater compensation when thej day o Treckjoilng arrives,.
