LONDON, July 19.-The acton OF
Count Buelow, the German Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, in informing the Chinese
Legation at Berlin that all Geographic
messages must be in plain language and
submitted for approval by the censor and
the suggestion of NJ Del Case, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
the expectation of arms 10 China be pro-
hibited. which are generally regarded
here as long steps in the direction of
treating China as a State engaged IN
war, have been supplemented this morn
ing by the official announcement from
St. Petersburg that certain portions of
the Amur territory, Including parts of the
Is habaroNZk Gistr Ct and the coast terri
tory. as well as the towns of Blagoves-
tChensk, Khabaroyzk and Nikolskussu

July 18th. Russ as announce ment is re-
gardod In London as at least foreshad-
owing a speedy unconditional recognition
of the fact that condition of war exists
between China and the civilized world
and the general OPP MON seems to favor
such recognition as the best means Of
meeting the barbarian upheaVal, while at
the same time endeavoring TO Isolate the
Independent Viceroys from the general

NICARAGUA CANAL.
A Ditch of Great Width and Iepth
PropOs.

NEW YORK. July ia Herald spe-
cial from Washington says the 18TH
milan Canal Commission has practicai-
ly reached the conclusion that there
are only two available canal routes
across the Isthmus of Panama, the
Nicaragua and the Panama routes.
Commission Is not yet able to give n
final estimate of the cost of the canal
across Nicaragua. as the explorations
are not completed, nor will, they be I'M
til fall.
The Indications are. however. that
the exhaustive investigation which has
been made will show the advantages OF
the route selected by the Walker Conn
mission OF two years ago over any
other. though II Is likely there win be
slight notifications.
Both the Nicaragua and the Panama
routes are considered perfectly prac-
tiCable. but the enterprise which the
Commission Will recommend will con-
template canal To accommodate ves-
sells of 10000 tons displacement The
attention of the Commission has been
called to the great displacement mer-
chant shina are now attaining and 1t
has been decided that the canal must
be OF size that can accommodate
without difficulty such mammoth ves-
sells as are likely to be constructed.
Consideration of these important mat
ters Will probably cause the Commits
sion &c recommend n canal of greater
width and depth than hitherto has
been regarded necessary. There VIII
consequently be an increase in cost. 1t
is understood. however. that the Conn
missions Investga tIons show that the
Nicaragua canal can be built for the
same amount Rs would be required to
complete the Panama canal. More Of
the Commissioners will express prefer
ence now for either route. but II IL be-
leved their final decision VIII be In
favor of the Nicaragua waterway.
