sccumulates daily that China has long
been preparing a formidable military or
Hoanzation in anticipation OF the present

1T is useless any longer to hide from
ourselves the fact that China has declar-
td war on civilization and has plunged
4nto the conflict with rabid frenzy. 1t is
tqually futile to discuss whether hostili-

Foreign secretary, in S opping cipher tele-
grams from the Chinese legation in Ber-

Bla govetchensk. capital of the province of
Amur and il is reported from Irkutsk that

the capture of the native city, as follows:
Russians 100; Japanese, 81; British, 40,
Rnd Americans, 81
The correspondent who sends this as
serts that thousands of Chinese were kill

when his dispatch was sent, in various
parts of Tien Tsin.
With reference to The rumors that Eu-
