CHINA DECLARES WAR.
Shanghai Declared a Neutral Port ant
Open to Commerce,


LONDON, Sept. Ss-A Foo Chow dispatch
says that the Chinese officials there have
been notified of the declaration of war
against France. Shanghai has been de-
clared neutral port. Entrances to the
Woo Sung will be blocked, excepting
that a channel will be kept open for
neutral powers.
A Foo Chow correspondent tele-
graphs, under this date: 'The
French gunboat Lutin visited Tomeuir,
on the northern coast of Formosa, on Sept.
4, and found the entrance of the harbor
blocked. The English gunboat Zephyr
was fred on yesterday from the Kinpai
forts. An officer and a sailor were
wounded. The Zephyr was mistaken for
French vessel of similar appearance.
The British Admiral demanded an expla-
nation, which was promptly rendered, ac-
companied with profound regrets and
apologies.
The Pau Mall Gazette this evening
has the following: ''The Chinese report
that the damage done to the forts and
arsenal on Min river by Admiral Courbet
was trifiing. The masonry was in some
places thrown down, but has now been
fully restored. The French landed and
destroyed only three guns at the Mingan
The arsenal was not damaged, and no war
materials were destroyed. There was no
hre and no explosion. Work at the
arsenal is now proceeding as usual. The
naval loss was serious, but after all only
two fighting vessels were sunk. The
others were dispatch or patrol boats. The
defenses along the river are now in as
good condition as before the bombardment
took place.
Admiral Courbet's headquarters are at
Matson. He commands the telegraph at
Sharp Peak.
A Foo Chow dispatch of Yesterday
says that the Chinese had pillaged the
houses OF all foreigners who lived near
the pagoda anchorage.
A dispatch from Hanoi of to-day saws
that Gen. Millot had left there, and that
Gen. Briere' had taken command of the
French forces in TOnquin.
The Pal Mall Gazette says that the
Chinese Government has made declara-
tion of war in the form of a manifesto
from the Emperor to the people. The
Emperor declares that he regards Frances
action as constituting state of war, and
he calls upon his subjects to aid in repell-
ing the foe.
CANTON RIVER CLOSED.
BERLIN, Sept. S.-The Official Gazette
says that a dispatch has been received
from the German Consul at Canton, an
nouncing that the Chinese have closed
the mouth of Canton river to steamers.
COURBET DEMANDS A WAR DECLARA-
TION.
La GaulOiS states that Admiral Courbet
insists upon an instant declaration of
war by France against China. The Ad-
miral declares that it is impossible for
him to carry on effective operations
against the enemy while the ships of |
other nations are permitted to carry mu-
nitions to the Chinese under the eyes of |
the French squadron.
Beside the reinforcements OF men, Ad- !
miral COurbet states that he is awaiting
the arrival of war munitions, his fleet be- |
ing deficient in shot and shell for big |
guns. The quantities of munitions that |
have been expedited from the artillery |
park of Saigon still leave him insufficient |
lY supplied.

COL. BURNsIDRs BOND.
His Sureties Employing Every Techni
cality to EscaDe ResDonsibiIitv

Ills Sureties Employing Every Techni-
cality to Escape Responsibility.
WASHINGTON, Sept. SIN the suit of
the United States against James 0. P.
Burnside and N, L. Jeffries. on the bond
of Col. Burnside, late Disbursing Clerk of
the Post Office Department and Superin-
tendent of the Post Office Department
building, pleas were entered by the de-
PENDANTS to-day. The pleas are six in
number, and the defense set up is based
solely on technicalities. 1t is pleaded
that Col. Burnside was not legally Super
intendent of the building and Disbursing
Clerk, that he was never eligible to such
office, and that the Postmaster General
did not, on Oct. l, 1915, nor at any
other time, pursuant to law, appoint him
to such office, aud that cOnseQuently the
bond upon which the suit is brought is
irregular, as it purports to have
been executed as an official
bond of the Superintendent and Dis
bursting Clerk under a pretended
appointment. 1t is further pleaded that
the bond was not authorized by law and
is illegal and void; that its amount is not
such as was directed by the Secretary of
the Treasury; that the Post Office DeDart-
ment prepared the bond and required its
execution before Col. Burnside should be
permitted to remain in office, and the
bond having been thus required and ex-
torted from him under color OF office the
forms condition is varient and wholly
different from the condition required by
the act of Congress, the latter requiring
solely that the bond be conditional for the
faithful discharge of the duties of the
office according to law. 1t is also averred
in the pleas of the defendant that Col.
Burnside faithfully executed and dis
charged all the duties of his office, and
did truly and faithfully keep safely and
d1sburse all sums of public money placed
or coming in his hands from time to time.
