Famous Observation-Disclosures
Peril of tho Euro.

Paris, Aug. 29.-Oficial dispatches
from Shanghai explain that the Han
kow uprising was not due to the BOX
ers, but was a plot organized by n
partisans of Kwang Yu Wei, the re-
former, combined with the secret so
ciety known as the "Ko Lao Hui" an
a~nti-foreign organization, who pro-
posed to the southern viceroys Q re-
volt against the Pcking government.
The leaders of the movement relied
especially upon Chang Chi Tung. vice
roy at Hankow, for arms, gunpowder
and other agents of destruction.
Approximation written In English
and addressed to Europeans was
seized. In it the revolutionists de-
clared themselves opposed to the Man
chu dynasty, but ready to uphold the
present emperor. They expressed
themselves as desirous Of founding a
Constitutional government" of pro-
tecting foreigners and Christians and
of supporting the powers against
anti-foreign fanatics.
The immediate effect of the move
ment has been to increase the peril
of Europeans. Proof exists of disor-
der and pillage due to the same move
ment at widely separated points. The:
headquarters of the conspiracy is
Hanlow, from which point 1t rnmi-
fed into other provinces.
Several thousands of the supporters
of the movement have received in
structions to demonstrate in the CEN
trail valley of the Yang Use Kiang, but
the viccroy has q sufficient force of
regular troops to guarantee the lnnin-
tenance of order. Twelve of the con-
spirators have been beheaded.

Report Pronounced .Unworthy of
Notice. In Europe.
London, Aug. 29.-There is absolute
3ly no truth in the dispatch from Che
foo of the a4th saying it was rumored
there ION good authority that Russia,
Germany and Japan had declared war
on China and Ind invited Great Britt
ain and the United States to retire.
from that country. Inquiries made at
St Petersburg, Kerlin and Toxic show
the report is rejected at those capitols
us unworthy Of notice."
Washington, Aug. a9.-Russia, Ger
many and Japan have not declared
war upon China, either separately or
in concert. This statement is made
upon authority of the highest charac-
ter.
a brief dispatch from Chefoo, con-
yeying a Juno current there that
Russia, Germany and japan had
joined in a declaration of war upon
China, aroused sonIe interested com
ment among Washington officials and
among diplomatic Representatives of
foreign governments resident here.
In neither official nor diplomatic cir
cles, however, was the rumor taken
seriously. No information of such ac-
ton has reached either the depart
ment of state or the Legations of the
governments primarily interested,
The understanding among Washing
ton officials of Russia's action is that
the empire has declared the three
provinces of its southern frontier in
u state of siege. This is altogether
different from a declaration of a
IL O0r~,,oc,,N,,r1 49, al~n1 r,,-%s~, .sS-or
martial law by Great Britain and to a
pus by the United States. 1t is u sup
preston of civil by military authority.
1t is pointed out further that Russia
has two Objects in her present opera
tons in China-the rescue and protec-
ton of the foreign legationers and the
protection of her menaced frontier.
The avowed object of the powers is
simply the rescue and protection of
the legationers and other foreign sub
jects.
In carrying out her second object,
Russia has seized New Chwang. This
was done to obtain a base of opera
tons from which the frontier could
easily be reached, precisely as Taku
was seized as Il base of operations by
the allies in the operations against
Picking.
Whether in the event of a declara-
ton of war by one or more of the
powers against China, an invitation
would be extended to the United
Safest retire from China, as init
mated i'll the dispatch from Chefoo, is
open to doubt, and it is decidedly
problematical, it is said, whether the
invitation would be accepted, ever If
it were rendered. Under the most IA
vored nation clause, this country has
certain specific rights in China, and it
is said on authority to be the purpose
of the United States to protect and
preserve those rights. The attitude
this government would assume in the
event of a declaration of war by an
other power would depend, it can be
stated, upon the Immediate circum-
stances surrounding the declaration
aud the situation in China at the time
the declaration was made. In any
event, 1t can be said to be no part Of
the purpose of the United States to
sacrifice any of its guaranteed rights
or privileges in the Chinese empire.
