A DECLARATION
OF WAR
Has Given the Chinese Minister at St.
Petersburg His "Walking Papers"
anil Will Probably Soon Have an
Army Marching on Pckin.
Nuw Youk, Julv 10. A dispatch to
tho Journal and Advertieerfrom London
says: Tho Chinese invasion of the Amur
province is equivalent to a declaration of
war at?tlr8i Russia, which, construing it
as such, has handed the Chinese envoy
at St. Petersburg his passports today and
requested him to leave the country, along
with tlio members of his mistion.
The importance of this Chinese decla
ration of war against Russia, and of this
bold invasion of Rmsian territory, lies
in the fact, as the mutter now ttttnd?,
that it virtually releases the Czar from
his obligations to tho foreign powers to
act in concert with them in China, lit
is placed thereby in a position to act in
dependently, not only with reference to
defence of his dominions against the
Chinese invasion, but also as regards
the carrying of war into the enemy's
country and an eventual march upon
l'ekin.'
Should u Russian tinny, proc-edinc
from Siberia, ri-Hch l'ekin and captute it
before the allies could got to it from the
j Pacific Coast, tho Czar would be utile to
dictato terms to China independently ol
the other powers, antl without any re
gard to their wishes, virtually eetablish
itiir himself. as master of the country.
Tho Rrilish and German governments,
alarmed at the idea of title eventually,
have today decided to abandon the policy
which they have pursued until now and
to declare war upon the Chineso govern
merit, thus placing themselves in line
with Russia and France and the Uniteil
States is expected to follow suit im
mediately. France has, indeed, already issued, to
day, a decree forbidding the sale of arms
or war material of any kind to the
ChineBO, while Gertnuny bus already
prohibited the Chinyse envoy at Berlin
frotn communicating with his govern
ment except through the German foieiun
oflice, and is preparing to give him his
passports. Here in London, the Chinese
minister has already packed all belong
ings, removed hi boys from the schools
and cancelled all his entragetnents, so as
to be ready for immediate departure.
In addition to thecorps of the imperial
Chinese army, which has invaded Siberia
witli orders to drive all foieigners out of
the rich gold-bt'iiring Amur province of
the Cz.ir, there are live other corps, one
of which is engaged in destroying the
Russian railroad in Manchuria and in
driving all the foieigners, especially the
Russians, fiom the northern portion of
the empirt; another is to occupy the
roads between l'ekin and Sham Ilai
Kwan ; yet another is to concentrate at
Nanking, while columns aie being direct
ed in hot haste to Tien Tsin, to tho hol
ders of Corea and to tho neighboihood
of Shanghai.
Altogether tho Pekin government is
estimated to have under anus at the
present moment no less than 1 ,000,0011
men, splendidly equipped with Mauser
ritles, smokeless powder and quick-tiring
oidinanee, antl carefully trained under
the direction of Danish and German
ollleers. Thia huge" army iu under the
orders of Princo Tuan.
In addition to this, there- is tho Chi
