DIPLOMATIC PHASES.
How Nations Proceed in a Decoration
 of War.

Washington. Aug 26.-In the ab- sence of official information from China or from the United States officers there, interest today centered in the diplo- matic phase of the existing trouble.
 The rumor of a declaration of war by Russia, it is explained, may have grown out of the operations of the troops of the czar in the protection of the south- eastern frontier of his empire or it may have arisen from the reported state ment of the commander of the Russian forces at Pekin that his government was at war with China and therefore, he must prohibit communication with the Chinese. Neither the operations of Russia on her frontier nor the prohibi- tion by the Russian general, of com munication with the Chinese would constitute, it is said, a declarat tion of war by Russia. No general could de- clare war. Even his statement that his government had declared war would not make it so. A declaration of war, it is pointed out by the best authorities is perfectly distinct and obvious pro- ceeding.
 HOW TT WOULD BE DONE.
 
 may be made only by congress. Among European nations the method of pro- cedure is simpler, but quite as obvious War is declared by them by edict or proclamation. It may be declaration of war or it may be the official recOg- milton that a state of war exists. In either event the news of such action would be published to the world inn mediately. Diplomatic representative of the power making the declaration would be notified instantly in order that they might communicate the in formation to the governments of the country to which they were accredited The information, too, would be con- veyed at once to the nation against which the declaration was made. In turn this nation would notify it's dip lomatic representatives abroad that they might govern themselves accord ingly. Within three hours after the of ficial declaration of congress that the United States was at war with the kingdom of STain, the spanish govern ment had on the wires an identical note to all governments to which it had ac- credited representatives, notifying them of the existence of d state of war between Spain and the United States.

Two Thousand Americanised.

Manila, Dec. 4.-Sunday in Vigan was
a great day for the American cause.
Twenty two hundred natives of the re-
gion, nearly all fighting rebels, crowded
the church and took the oath of allegiance
to the United States. The oath was ad-
ministered by the priest. All but 500 of
these sworn were bolomen. The number
| included the 1900 bolomen who had pre-
viously surrendered.
The proceedings in the church occupied
the entire day and included an address by
General Young and an .exhortation by the
priest. Scarcely any rebels remain in. the
, vicinity of Santa Maria.
General Young attributes this fact to
three cause.-the reelection of President
Mckinley, the arrival of stronger body
of troops and the especially rigid enforce
ment of war measures, and the deporta-
ton of prisoners to Manila. He reports
that it is necessary to occupy all the bar
racks in order to protect the natives from
the vengeance of the Tagalog raiders.

Powder Explosion.

The steamer Energie brings details
Of the terrible powder explosion at Nan
king, China, which killed over 800 peo-
pie last month. During violent thun-
derstorm lightning struck a powder
magazine containing half million cat
ties which exploded. The result was to
utterly obliterate the small valley
where the magazine was located.
Throughout the districts were found
heaps Of mangled and twisted bodies.
The rescuing Of the bodies was car
ried on for a week by Chinese soldiers,
100 being recovered the first day.
A high Chinese official reports at
Shanghai that while at the Chinese
court at Ta-tung-fu he neither saw nor
heard Of the heir apparent, Pu Chun,
Prince Tuan's youngest son. The off,
cial was convinced that the heir ap-
parent was slain or died during the
fight from Pekin. He says this view
is strengthened by the unexpected sui
eide of the heirs chief preceptors, two
dukes, who were responsible with their
lives for his safety.

PRES. KRUGER TURNED DOWN
EMPEROR WILLIAM REGRETS
He Il Unable to Receive Him-kru-
ger Proceeds to Holland-English
Are Delighted-French Newspa-
pers Roast German Emperor.

Berlin {, Dec. AIR. Kruger has
abandoned his proposed visit to Berlin,
owing to the receipt of an official init
nation that Emperor Williamh regrets
that, in consequence of previous ar
rangements, he will be unable to re-
ceive him. The Boer statesman will
therefore proceed direct from Cologne
for Holland. He telegraphed to this
effect.
The Cologne Gazette, in an inspired
communication, says: "Mr. Kruger's
visit is not agreeable to Germany, his
aim being to obtain Intervention in
South Africa. 1t would be grave po-
litical mistake, it would be even great
crime, to allow him to entertain even
spark of hope that Germany will rem
der him any practical support"
This declaration is accompanied with
reproaches, Mr.. Kruger being charged
with having encouraged a useless
guerrilla warfare and having disre-
garded Germany's advice when he
might have still followed it."
The press generally strikes the same
note.
The emperor's intimation was con-
veyed to Mr.. Kruger by the German en-
voy at Luxembourg, who arrived at
Cologne today.
London, Dec. 4.-Morning papers
comment with unbounded enthusiasm
upon the abrupt snub administered by
Emperor William to Mr.. Kruger, which
is the more noticeable when contrasted
with the Boer statesman's successful
visit to France. The snub is regarded
as further evidence Of the good rela-
tions existing between Germany and
Great Britain. Emperor Williams tel.
egram to the German minister at Lux.
embourg was the outcome of dispatch
which Mr.. Kruger sent to the kaiser
on arriving at the German frontier:
ION reaching German soil / hasten
to express to your majesty my feelings
of devotion and sympathy"
The official explanation offered
through the German press is that steps
had not been taken to ascertain wheth
er Mr.. Kruger's visit would be agree
able. The Boer delegates admit they
have received serious check and Mr.
Kruger is said to be extremely dis
heartened.
There is rumor that he had been re
quested to avoid Belgian territory.

Paris Surprised.

Paris, Dec. 4.-Emperor Williams
refusal to receive Mr.. Kruger has
caused general surprise here Most OF

for articles sympathizing with the Boer
statesman and condemning the kaiser
"The kaiser is no longer modern
