and submitted for approval by the GEN.
sor, and the suggestion Of Delcasse, the
French minister of foreign affairs, that
the expectation of arms to China be
prohibited, which are generally regard
ed here as long steps in the direction
of treating China as state engaged In
war. has been supplemented this morn
Ing by the official announcement from
st. Petersburg that certain portions of
the Amur territory. including parts Of
the Khabarovzk district and the coast
territory as we'll as the towns Of Blag-
ovestchensk, Khabarovsk and N,kols-
kussurt. have been declared in q state
of war since July H. Russia's an
nouncement Is regarded In London as |
at least foreshadowing the speedy un-
conditional recognition of the fact that |

eral opinion seems to favor such q rec
ognition as the best means Of meeting
the barbarian upheaval, while at the
same time endeavoring to isolate the
Independent viceroys from the general
conflagration.
THE REBELLION SPREADS.
The revelation of the ability Of the
Chinese forces in the north to stand
their ground against the International
Is producing its inevitable results in the
south. At Shanghai 1t is announced Of
ficially that foreign women and chill
dren have been requested to leave the
ports along the river. Serious riotine
occurred at Yang Lake, ,neAr Kiu Kiang.
Several missionaries were killed and
chapels burned. The telegraph between
Kiu Kiang and Hankow has been inter-
rupted.
In connection with the story that
Prince Tuan's forces have been ordered

dered to proceed to -Hai-Wei A
Shanghai dispatch also reports that
Russia has been in secret negotiations
with Prince Tuan's government with
the connivance of Ii Hung Chang. In
dispatch from st. Petersburg, 1t is
stated that Russia's anxiety to mini

from Manchuria Is dictated by the
fears Of the injury that confirmat tion

New York, July ia dispatch to the s
World from London says: Great bodies l
OF Boxers and regular Chinese troops |
are known to be marching southwark
from Pekin, numbering all the Chris {

possessions. 1t is feared that some Of
the viceroys, who, as whole, hitherto
have shown themselves most friendly
disposed toward the foreigners, are now
wavering In their support, and with the
governors of several other provinces r
are going over to the rebels. Many peo- ,
pie regard Ii Hung Chang's eagerness
for the present journey from Canton to
Pekin with suspicion, and urge that he
be detained at Shanghai. "
