declaration OF congress that the United
States was at war With Spain, the Span
ish government had on the wires an iden-
tical note TO all governments to which
1t had accredited representatives, notify
ing them OF the existence OF state OF
war between Spain and the United States.
The understanding among Washington
OF RussiA's action Is that the EN-
pre has declared the three provinces on
its southeastern frontier in a state or
Siege This is altogether different from
& declaration OF war 1t corresponds to
declaration OF martial law by Great
Britain and 10 suspension OF the right
OF habeas corpus By the United states.
1t is a suppression OF civil by military
authority. II has no effect upon such
treaties as may be in force between the
two countries: whereas declaration OF
war or declaration that state of war
exists, would annul all treaties.
ut Is pointed out further that Russia
has two objects in her military opera
items IN Climatic rescue and protec-
tion OF the foreign legatloners and the
protection Of her menaced frontier.

sia has seized New Chwanr. This WAS
done 10 obtain a base OF operations from
which the frontier could easily b.

cliff gave way and rushed with great
force to the bottom OF the excavation.
All of the men. save Blauco, jumped
aside and escaped the avalanche, but he

possible haste and at last found their
compatriot.
Blanco had been dead 10 minutes
when his body was found. He had
been crushed and suffocated.
