COnON SITUATiO
AUSTRIA AND JAPAN
Revering of diplomatic re-
LATIONS EQUIVALENT TO
' WAR DECLARATION.
LI
Washington, Aug. 28. President
Wilson yesterday Issued a proclama
tion of neutrality recognizing that "a
state of war unhappily exists be
tween Japan and Austria-Hungary."
It is similar to other proclamations
previously issued.
The issuance of the President's
proclamation of neutrality as be
tween Japan and Austria followed an
unusual sequence of events, during
which, so far as officials here are
aware, neither country actually de
clared war. '
A "state of war" was recognized
by the United States as existing, how
ever, because Ambassador Dumba, of
Austria, notified the State Depart
ment that the Emperor of Austria
Hungary had instructed the cruiser
Kaiserin Elizabeth to join the Ger
man fleet defending Tsing Tau. Last
Monday orders were transmitted
from Vienna through Washington to
the officers of the Austrian vessel
to dismantle her. Press dispatches
from Tsing Tau last night said the
orders had been carried out and the
crew had left. ,
Ambassador Dumba's telegram to
the American government made no
mention of any declaration of war,
but said diplomatic relations between
the two countries had been severed.
. Tokio-dispatches describe the sit
uation as a rupture of diplomatic re
lations, but the order to the Kaiserin
Elizabeth was regarded by State De-
t officials as. of itself an
oi -war: :v
y The Japanese embassy here issued
a statement yesterday denying -reports
that Japan would send a fleet
to the Adriatic.
.. Viscount Chinda, ' the Japanese
ambassador,' yesterday issued this
statement:
"Nothing is more absurd than the
purport of a London telegram ap
pearing in some of the papers yester
day morning which intimates that
Japan's answer to Austrian declara
tion of war will be the dispatch of a
squadron to the Adriatic.
"The terms of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, solely under which Japan is
acting, contain nothing which will ob
ligate Japan to go that far, nor, is
there any interest or inducement
whatever for Japan to embroil her
self in this European war in Europe
itself. If she succeeds in fulfilling
her obligation under and in achieving
the object of the Anglo-Japanese al
liance treaty, there she will stop.
" ; "Moreover it would be ridiculous
to Imagine even for a moment in the
present circumstances that Great
Britain is compelled to call upon her
far-off ally to come all the way out to
the assistance of her Mediterranean
fleet. The idea is on all fours with
another presposterous report given
out in some papers that the Japanese
ermy will be sent to Europe over the
Siberian railroad.
take this occasion to categoric
ally deny that I have ever stated or
even hinted that Japan might be
found extending her activity outside
the zone of German hostilities in the
China sea as some of the papers have
erroneously reported."

She says that she would tn bie 'o
tell whether or not they are those of
her husband.
Mrs. McKenzie stated that her hus
band left home on July 3rd for Whit
ney to bid on some concrete work,
and had not been heard from since.
She said that he was about 37 years
old and that the description given
of the man found fitted him exactly.
It is not thought though, that the
remains will be in such a condition
as to admit of identification when ex
humed this morning. Dr. E. F.
Strickland was present at the confer
ence yesterday . afternoon and told
Mrs. McKenzie all he knew about the
case he having examined the body
closely when it was disinterred Wed
nesday afternoon. He told her of
the gold crowned tooth and Mrs. Mc
Kenzie affirmed that her husband had
such a tooth and that in addition to
that had a plate in his mouth. The
plate was not found when examina
tion was madebut it is probable that
ts 'was wlBSlng -'with the front teeth
that were gone.. , ' K
Mrs. McKenzie does not assign any
reason for the perpetration of such
a crime upon her husband. She only
wants to see the remains, declaring
that she will be able to identify him.
She asked whether there was any con
crete work being done in this section,
thinking that probably he failed to
get the work in Whitney and came
here to make bids. However, there is
little work of that nature being done
here at present. Mrs. McKenzie
stated that she had notified the police
of nearly all the surrounding towns,
but had not notified the local author
ities as she thought that it was hard
ly probable that her husband should
have come up here. She firmly be
lieves that the unknown man is her
husband and all descriptions of him
but make stronger her belief and in
tensify her desire to look at the
corpse.
