Washington. Aug. 2T.-Among the callers at
the State Department to-day was Baron Won
sternburg, the German Charge d'Anaires The
suspicion that the new Dreibund-Germany,
Russia and Japan-had no existence save in a
shanghai or Che-Foo imagination apd that the
statement that these three Powers had all de-
ciared war against China and invited the United
States and Great Britain to get out hardly
quired Baron Won Sternburgs assurance to make
II stronger as to Germany either of the other
Powers mentioned

proposition of the note Of July 3. to which prop
osiron and the policy it represented the Powers
concerned gave the same cordial assent that
they did TO the first three propositions Of that
note This Government is not trying TO obtain
the assent OF the Powers to new line Of policy
In China but to promote agreement as TO the
mode and means Of carrying out policy which
has been already agreed to. It may take some
time TO arrange this TO the satisfaction Of all the
Powers. but the Administration has substantial
grounds for the hope that it will be done within
reasonable time. Citizens of the United States
and France and subjects Of Great Britain, Ger
many, Russia. Japan. Italy. Austria and Bel

china, which il is the solemn duty OF their
Governments TO safeguard until the Government
Of China is able and willing to enforce respect
for the treaty rights of foreigners within its
Jurisdiction.

such have arisen and continued for longer
or shorter periods in some Of the South and
Central American countries at times, except

ouire least 5000 cattle and while there would be
difficulty in obtaining vast herd for instant
shipment II pointed out in the dispatch that
trouble would undoubtedly be experienced in secur-
ing the ships necessary for the transportation Of
the cattle. This problem, II was explained, P. D.
Armour would tackle when he reached Chicago

Henry Raphael the New-York representative OF
the Armours said yesterday that he had knowl-

that $500 head was not very much" II would

understood that this or some joint supervisory

Omaha banker, who robbed and dubbed by
bandits at the time Of the Northwestern holdup
last week. regained consciousness for the first time
to-day and told a thrilling story OF the affair which
has proved such a puzzling case TO the detectives
OF Omaha and Chicago alike. Balchs statement

DECLARED.


DECLARED.
London. Aug 27.-General Yamaguchi, the
commander of the japanese troops in China, in
formed the japanese War Office Saturday, says
a dis2atch from Toxic, that the Chinese have
not abandoned hope Of retaking Picking and
that nine thousand men, with fifteen guns
were advancing toward Picking from Shan
Tung, probably intending 10 cut the allies COM
munications. Another dispatch from General
Yamaguchi, dated Picking. August IS, says:
The city is now cleared Of Chinese troops.
The Japanese cavalry dispatched TO Mansan
reports that the Chinese Imperial family left
Fekng August II, and set out for the West,
after a short rest at the village of Mansan, es-
corted by General Ma, five hundred horsemen
and twenty wagons.
There is absolutely no truth in the dispatch
from Che-Foo Of August q saying ii was
rumored there "on good authority" that Rus
STA, Germany and Japan had declared war on
China. and had invited Great Britain and the
United States To retire" from that country.
Inquiries made at ST. Petersburg, Berlin and
Toxic show the report is rejected at those cap
itals unworthy Of notice.
