A dispatch from London says: China
declared war against The world when
the Takn forts opened fire upon the in-

landing party that took the forts. Two
of the forts were blown up. The thir-
ty-two warships at Taku aggrega e

The Situation i'm China ,

London, June 19.-While the events
of yesterday in China brought the stu
alton to more critical pass, they also
defined it more clearly and furnished
| the gratifying demonstration that the
powers were acting together with
energy and harmony. The hope now
is that the demolition Of the Taku forts
will be followed by the dispatch OF q
powerful forcs 70 Pekin to rescue the
foreign ministers and residents there
who have been cut of from the outside
world for almost week. The necessi"
ty for immediate action of this sort is
more urgent because of the reported re-
turn to Tien Tsin of the international
column which started for Pekin ten
days ago.
Shanghai, June 19.-According to
The latest report here, the Pekin leRa-
lions were attacked by Chinese Man
chus. Two onslaughts were made by
the mob but they were moved down
by machine guns, the slaughter being
particularly severe at the gates OF Brit
ish and Russian legations. Many high
officials are reported to have been
killed.
IL is reported that the Chinese SOL
diers have burned Tien Tsin. Yu-Lit,
the viceroy OF Chile, has fled.
Yokohama, June 19.-It is reported
here that the powers have asked japan
to send 10000 troops to China and that

SENATOR PE1TIGREw, of South Ds-
kota, may not now be such a favorite
with the republican party as he for
merly was, but that he has common
sense, is proved by the way he talks
about this country's interference with
the affairs of the Chinese empire. He
says "the Chinese have their own phi
iosophy, religion and moral code, as We
have. The work for American mis-
sionaries is in this country" Fifteen
hundred men are now being enlisted in
New York to relieve q. s. soldiers in
the Philippines who have been sent TO
China to make war on the people of that
country. But in that very city Amer
lean missionaries have a vastly better
field for work than can be found in all
of China, thousands of miles across the

Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington. June 10.
Up TO the hour OF the Cabinet meet
Ing no official advices had been received
from the scene of trouble in China. 1t
ls now just a week since Minister Con
ger has been heard from and the gravest
fears are felt for his safety. General
Macarthur was ordered today to hold
more troops In instant readiness for a
movement on China. General LLOYD
Wneston was today promoted to be @
maj or general of volunteers and Colonel
Thomas II. Barry, who is here, was
promoted to be q brigadier general of
volunteers. He will leave for Manila al
once to act as General MacArthur's
chief of staff.

of Admiral Remey as to what further
ships could be spared for service 10
ne could spare the gunbosts Marietta
and Princeton and the transports Zafiro,
all Of which are now being held in read
mess at Cavite. The fact that this in-
formation was asked for is taken here
TO mean that no more vessels will be
ordered to Chinese waters in the near
iuture. Both the Princeton and the
Marietta are OF very light draft and can
easily go up the Pei Ho river to Tien
Tsin. It is learned here that permits
sion has been given by the other powers
for the Russians to land 1000 troops at

No MATTER how Objectionable the
wing OF the republicans in Virginia
dominated by what is called the "or-

day morning at four o'clock by a noise
and saw in the dim light black face
bending ever her. She scres med loud
ly, and the negro fed. Sheriff Hughes
and his son who are near neighbors,
both ran into the street with pistols.
Young Hughes saw negro in the alley
behind the Rose residence and halted
him. The negro ran and Hughes shot,
but missed. The negro slipped and
fell, and Hughes grabbed him. A des-
perate struggle ensued, and the negro
had young Hughes down, and was
about to brain him with brick
when Sheriff Hughes put pistol
to his head and ordered him to rise.
He denied having been to the Rose
home, and is borne out by his wife in
the statement that he was dressing to
90 out when they heard the screams Of
Miss Hall. The young lady could not
positively identify the prisoner land The
negro was held for burglary. Miss Hall
was still very much frightened when
she appeared in court.

patch from Lourenco Marquee says
Judge Van Leenwen, who left Preto-
ria on Wednesday under permit OF the
British military governor, has arrived
here. 1t Is Understood that he ID the
bearer of verbal assurance to President
Kruger from the British authorities
that if he surrendered now he would
not be sent out of the country. Un-
fortunately, Kruger Was asleep at the
time Van Leenwen's train passed the
presidential headquarters, but the
Judge conveyed the message to Secre-
tary Reitz. The latter secuted the
idea. People in position to estimate
Kruger's feelings, however, think to
the contrary, and say that If such an
undertaking was authoritatively given
he would, in all probability, accept it..
Retz, like SteyD, appears anxious for
a continuance of the struggle, and

BEFORE THIS country put on its seven
league boots and started out on its ex'
pansion and imperislistic course, the
scope of its military and naval opera
tons was confined to the meets and
bounds of the United States, and the
expenses OF its army and navy were
moderate and not Objectionable. But
all that has been changed, and now those
branches of the governments service
has cost thousands of dollars, instead
of hundreds, IS they used to do. But
