THE NEWS IN LONDON.
The General Beliefs That the war Is
On-Sympathy with the Chinese.


LONDON, July PA dispatch re-
ceived here at 1l:20 a. m. to-day from
Llovd's agent at Shanghai, China, con-
firms the announcement exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press on Satur-
day last, that war between China and
Japan had been declared.
Hugh MathieSon S Co., the Chinese
government agents in England, have
received a cable message which also
confirms the announcement that war
has been declared between China and
Japan.
Up TO noon, however, neither the
Chinese nor the japanese ministers had
received advices which would enable
them TO confirm the report OF the out
break OF hostiities which has apparent
ly followed the declaration OF war. In
fact, both the Chinese and japanese
ministers assert that they have not been
officially informed that war has oeen
declared, claiming that the only lnior'
nation they have on the subject Is de-
rived from the newspaper dispatches.
The ministers also claim 10 be ignorant
OF anything which would tend TO con-
firm the report that the Japanese nave
captured the King Of Corea.
The only press dispatches received IN
London are those which have been Tor
warded TO the Associated Press, namely
a dispatch from Shanghai, dated 10 g..
M, which announced that yesterday
evening a telegram was received from a
high authority at Tien Tsln reporting
that the prospects for continuance OF
peace were more favorable.
The dispatch added, however, that
war had been declared between China
and Japan, and that runners were In
circulation there TO the effect that sew
eral Chinese warships were in trouble.
Mr.. Matheson, when questioned on the
subject to-day By reporter OF the AS
sociated Press, said, that be expected
that the w&f at the outset would be Ia
vorable to Japan, as that country had
long been preparing for this contest by
drilling armies OF men and manning and
eouipping war ships. Mr.. MSthieson
added that the japanese we're also q
quicker moving nation, and consequent
ly il would be but natural that the hrst
engagements between them and the
slower moving Chinese would result 10
victory for the arms Of the Mikado. But
eventually China must and will crush
japan. Japan" said Mr.. Mathieson,
lis absolutely unable to pour out such a
torrent Of men and material as China,
which country can carry on the war for
many years, il necessary, and always
with fresh troops. China, OF recent
wears, has purchased large quantities OF

TEN TsIN, CHINA, July 27.-The
gravity OF the situation is fully realized
here now that hostilities between China
and Japan nave commenced. While no
formal declaration OF war according to
the usual diplomatic forms has been
made either at Tokio or at Pekin, the
government of both countries recognize
that an actual state OF war exists and
more collisions between the forces OF
the two countries are expected hourly.
Considerable anxiety is expressed here
as TO the result Of the war. The general
opinion seems to be that while Japan
may be looked upon as likely to score
the first victories, the Chinese troops
will eventually drive the Japanese out
OF Corea, even if millions OF men have
TO be sent to the front TO 10 so.
Negotiations are still in progress and
there is a vague chance yet that in spite
of The commencement OF hostilities some
amicable arrangements may be arrived
at.
The Chinese and japanese hate each
other, and now that the first shots have
been exchanged and China. had the worst
OF the engagements, nothing but de-
cisive struggle between the two coun-
tries can be anticipated. or course in
terested parties having large CONNER
cial interests at stake are leaving no
stone unturned to smooth over the diff
culties which have arisen, but 1t does
not look as il there is one chance In a
hundred OF avertng a long and costly
war. Japan has been preparing for this
very crisis for years, and for this reason,
if for no other, she will resent any Eu-
ropeon interference. This, however,
will be done with dignifed poiteness,
but she will firmly refuse to sheath the
sword now that 1t has been drawn and
that she is victorious IN the first engage
ments over her hated enemy.
Very little accurate news is obtaina-
bic here from Seoul. 1t known, how
ever, that the British and United States
war ships at Chemulpo have landed de-
tachments of marines which have been
sent to Seoul in order to protect the
respective legations of Great Britain
and the United States. AT Seoul con-
tlict is said 10 have taken place between
the japanese and some Chinese and
COrean soldiers, the japanese being VIC
torous. Shortly afterwards the Japan
ese made prisoner of the King OF
Corea, and it is said :hat they have
either sent him or intend to send him TO
Japan, where he will be detained until
the war is over.
Rumor also has II that there has been
q second fight at sea between japanese
and Chinese war ships. A japanese
cruiser is said to have engaged aChinese
cruiser conveying a transport, sinking
the Chinese cruiser. This report, how
ever, may have reference TO the sinking
of the Kow Shung, already detailed,
although the sinking Of this steamer Is
said to have occurred on Tuesday last,
and the second engagement is reported
to have taken place on Wednesday.

the measure, but though the Repu0ll-
cans scored the victory In securing the
vote on the one-eignth ditferential, IL

strength, and the vote on the Wash

"Louder, Gabriel, Louder -

One of the best replies ever made As
said to be that of the brilliant but cratic
Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, in answer to
one who interrupted him while he was
speaking to vast audience in buffalo.
N. Y. When Marshall was ,loquently
picturing the glories of liberty and each
sentence fell from his lirs as chaste and
beautiful as the ma-ole block comes
from the sculptor's aand, some political
opponent in the audience cried out,
"Louder, loude." Marshall did not at
first tumble IT, the trick, button being In
terrupted egain by the same cry, he
in his magnificent flight of eloquence
said:
'Mr. President:-On the last and final
day Of this our mortal earth, when the
angel Gabriel shall take his departure
from the blue dome of heaven, and
placing one foot on the rolling sea and
the other upon the land shall lift to his
lips the golden trumpet and announce In
clarion notes that time shall be no more,
when, amid. the gushing melodies OF
angelic choirs, he shall announce to the
pale form of the resurrected dead that
the day of Immortality is at hand, and
sou]s of men shall rise from the tomb, I
have no doubt, sir, but that some id
fool from Buffalo will start up and cry
out, III ouder, Gabriel, louder"
