The fact is accepted in ollicial circle! ai a eufficient refutation1 of tli rumor. Oflicialiof the itate, war and navy department were at their deaki early today, but up to the hour of closing for Ihe day not a word bad been heard from Minister Conger, Oeneral Cbsflee or Admiral Keniey. Htnce the dispatch from Consul Fowler wai re ceived late Ial Thursday night, the state department baa received no ad vice! from any source!

Tue test of the dispatch, bicb. itwai explained, wa! very brief and purely administrative in character, waa not made public. The war department haa received no dispatch from General Chaffee known to have come directly from him for about a wrek. Cablegram! ngned "Chaffee" have lieen receive.!, but ai they con tained only lists of casualties, .it is er omrd that they were sent by totn iub ordmate officer in General Chaffee1! name.

Advices from (ieneral Chaffee are expected hourly, aa the military tele graph line between Tien Tain and l'ekin, which baa been interrupted, has been re paired. Imperative instruction! were w-nt yesterday to the commander of the United States forces at Tien Tsin to have the line restored at once, under the pro tection of a cavalry detachment. A suspicion exists here that the delay in message both from and to Washing' ton, is rather between Che Foo and Shanghai than between Tien Tsin and Fekin. From Che Foo to Shanghai the telegraph line is in control of the Chinese authoiities.and it is auspected they are not aa prompt in the train nisaion Of messages as they might be. In the absence of ollicial information from China or from United States officers there, interest today centered in the dip lomatic banea of the existing trouble. The rumor of a declaration of war by j Russia, it ie explaineJ, may have grown out of the operations of the troop! of tlie Cxar ill the protection of the eouth- ' eastern frontier of his empire, or it may have arisen from the reported statemeut of tlie commander of the Ruitsian force at l'ekin that his government was at war with China and therefore be must pro hibit communication with the Chinese Neither the operations of Russia on her fiontier nor the prohibition by a Russian general of communication with the Chi nese would constitute, it is eaid.a declar ation of war by Rusma. No guuerai could declare war. Even hi statement that hie government had declared war would not make it so. A declaration of war, it is pointed out by tlie boHt authority, ie a perfect, dis tinct and obvious proceeding. In this country a declaration of ar may be made only by congiesa. Among Euro pean nations the method of procedure is simpler but quite aa obvious. War is declared by them by edict or proclama tion. It may be a declaration of war or it may be the off rial recognition that a state ol war exists.

The letter advises an other attack and outlines the following plan; "Recruit in rour commend of South Luzon, 3KX) men of daring arid steadi ness Thee will enter the walled city armed with knive.

Ai soon aithey all get In I will give the necessary in truction! to direct and arrange for co operation io the blow on the said point of the walled city." After making angijestione aa to the raising of funds, the letter continues: "At the same time, with all due honor and respect.

Another letter, dated June 17, 1900, to Ricart, and signed MarUnao Berroga. fixes the 28th of June as the date for the attack.
