LONDON, July 19.-The action Of
Count. Won Buelow, the German min
lister of foreign affairs, in informing
the Chinese legation at Berlin that all
Geographic messages must be in plain
language and submitted for approval
by the censor, and the suggestion of
NJ. Delcasse the French minister of
foreign affairs, that the expectation
of arms to China be prohibited, which
are generally regarded here as long
steps in the direction of treating
China as a state engaged in war, have
been supplemented this morning by the
official announcement from ST. Peters
burg that certain portions of the
Amur territory, including parts of the
Khabarovsk district and the coast ter
ritory, as well as the towns of
Biagovestchensk, Khabarovsk and
Nakolskussuri, have been declared in
state of war since July II. Russias
announcement is regarded in London
at as least foreshadowing a speedy
unconditional recognition of the fact
that condition of war exists between
China and the civilized world, and the
general opinion seems to favor such
recognition as the best means of meet
