Washington. Aug. rs. - Russia, Ger
many and Japan have not declared
war upon China either separately or in
concert. This statement is made upon
the authority of the highest character.
What those nations may do within the
next forty-eight hours, or within the
next fortnight is a question which no
one in Washington is prepared to
answer. A brief dispatch from Chefu
conveying a rumor current there that
Russia, Germany and Japan had
Joined In a declaration OF war upon
China aroused some interesting com
ment among Washington officials and
among diplomatic representatives OF
foreign governments resident here. In
neither official nor diplomatic circles,
however, was the rumor
Taken Seriously.
No information of such action has
reached either the department of state
or the legations Of the governments
primarily interested. That fact alone
is accepted in official circles as a suf-
fcient refutation OF the rumor. Late
in the day a dispatch was received at
the japanese legation from the foreign
office of Japan conveying The latest
and most authoritative information OF
the ~sitpation in and around Peking.
In a measure the advices were Of a
d~isquieting nature, as they indicated
that the Chinese had rallied their
forces and were preparing for an
Attack Upon the Allies
In Picking. If 1t should prove that the
allied forces were besieged In Picking
II would account for the lack of a dis
patch from Gen. Chaffee. As made
public by Minister Takahari, the dis
patch from the japanese foreign office
at Toxic is as follows:
An Official telegram dated Picking,

Gen. Yamaguhi, commander of the
japanese forces, to the following eff
feet: The capital is now entirely
cleared of the enemy. A cavalry regi-
