FORTS FOR GUAM.

Washington, Aug. 25.-T.he navy DEPART
ment has taken the initial steps in the
preparation for the complete and compre-
hens-ve system of Notifications and har-
Dor improvements by which it is intended
TO make the island of Guam a thoroughly
protected base for our naval vessels in
the western Pacific.
The navy department has been at pains
TO ascertain Just what harbOr facilities
othe- nations have IN this part of the
world, and the maps already oreoared
show that southwark from Guam for 2. SOC

Wilnout sacrificing what they consider
ed their right in their premises.
In this situation the United States
occupied the position it has held all
through the disturbance, namely, of
Delng the one power least under sus-
! plcion by the others of selfish and
Interior motives. This government is
exceedingly anxious to maintain this
vantage ground and retain the conf
dence of the other powers so that
1t is now more than ever cautious as to
the next step to be taken
Word Sent to Ambassadors.
The decision to address instructions
TO the United States representa- tives at
the courts of the various powers was
reached yesterday, after the most ma
Jure deliberatiOn. 1t would have been
satisfaction to this government if the
action could have been taken without
exciting public comment of any sort
owing to the fact that this ccnmunica-
ton was not addressed directly to the
other governments and that it contained
merely instructions for the guidance of
our diplomatic representatives abroad,
1t was decided not to make public either
the text or the substance of the RI
structiOns, lest their premature publ
cation should defeat the very object
Tor winch they were deSigned-that of
ascertaining the temper of the various
governments interested with view to
determining what form of procedure is
most likely to meet with general apprO-
baton among them and lead to d
speedy solution Of the problem
Consider Kwang Has the Lead.
One of the most serious considera-
tons which remain prior to the open
ing of peace negotiations is TO deter
mine what and who is the responsible
head of China, referred to in the United
States note. 1t is understood that this
government is inclined to the opinion
that the emperor, kwang Hsu, is the
responsible head, but in the absence of
any reliable information as to his
whereabouts, even the first steps to-
ward appointing a representative for a
peace conference with China would be
decidedly premature. The most that
this government hopes or expects just
now IS information as to the readiness
of the other governments to participate
in friendly conference over the course
to be pursued by them in China after
order is restored.

RUSSIA IS At OUTS
WITH OTHER POWERS
Remey Confirms Report that Cars Officer De-
ClarcS His Nation at War With China
RumOr that Other Nations Have Followed Pro-
poses Conference to Settle Question.

Che Foo, Aug. "a Friday).-It is ru-
mored on good authority that Russia,
Germany and Japan have declared war
on China and invite England and the
United states to retire.
Washington, Aug. Pa cablegram
has been received from Admiral Remey
in which he states that it is reported
that the Russian commander at Pekin
has forbidden any communication be-
tween his forces and the Chinese.
The dispatch CONVEYS receipt of a
dispatch from Admiral Remey, convey
ing the reports which had reached him
of q disagreement between the COM
mander Of the Russian forces in Pekin
and the other internatiOnals. The text
Of this dispatch was not made public,
but it was said on good authority to
contain the statement that the reason
why me Russian commander had for
hidden communication with the Chinese
was that Russia was technically, as
well as practically. at war with China.
II may be said that the information
was not conveyed by Admiral Remey
MS official news, but merely as a report
from reliable sources which he cOnsid-
cred this government should possess
for IT'S own information.
Assuming Admiral Remey's report to
be correct. this move on the part Of
Russia strikes the first note of discOrd
in the heretofore harmonious concert
of the powers. The DOssi bilities of fu-
ture complications that it opens would
be serious. It may be said, however
that the news is not taken very Sc
riously by this government, and GER
tainly will not affect its course in any
way until it has heen officially con-
hrmed.
Situation Is Delicate.
tt was explained that the situation
growing out of the joint occupation of
Pekin by the powers was delicate, al
though not necessarily to be described
as serious. The interest of all the pow
,rs there represented were at least
competitive. if not antagOnistic. and an
iIl-cOnsidered move on the part of any
one government might easily entail
disagreeable cOnseque ices in which all
would be more or less involved.
Al the same time it was explained
that all OF the government representa-
tiyes in China were anxious to avert
any open clash if this could be done

GERMANY TO SEND BIG ARMY.
Significance In Meeting of Kaiser
and Wales.

New York. Aus. ga dispatch 10
the Tribune from London says:
The report telegraphed from Wash
ingtOn that Germany is preparing 10
make San Francisco a base of sup
plies with A view of sending a very
powerful army to China, has attracted
considerable attention. Your CORES
pendent has made inquiries on the
subject in shipping circles and finds
that German orders for stores and pro-
visions are sufficiently extensive to
lend probability to this rumOr. It GER
tainly would not surprise the diplomat
ic authorities here if the German force
should eventually reach a total of 10000
or $4,000 men.
Some Importance may possibly be
attached to the meeting the Prince
of Wales had with the German
emperor yesterday. The prince. in
company with the Duke OF Cambridge
who, il viii be remembered, preceded
Lord Wolseley as commander in chief
of the British army. drove from Ham
burg to Castle Fredericksburg to meet
the emperor and empress and Empress
Frederick. Subsequently the emperor
accompanied the prince and duke back
to Hamburg and had a long private
conversation with them at their hotel.
1t is commonly understood that the
British heir apparent does not interfere
in political matters and in a general
way this is true. but in their foreign
policies there is a good deal of private
communication between the English
and German courts, and il is extremely
likely that the kaiser and his uncle
discussed the outlines Of a Chinese poll
icy which may be pursued by their en-
pires. On more than one previous oc-
casion the prince has been employed

Hung Chang to formulate his next
move. In the circumstances il is felt
that he accepts the American and Ger

have reached him as negating any

the lines he proposed. The opinion is
expressed that this will prolOng the
