our loyal and brave subjects as follows:
I'VE hereby declare war against Rus

VERSION OF HAYS NOTE.
Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Temps says the fol-
lowing is the substance of Secretary Hays
note to the American Ministers and Am
bassadors on the subject of the neutral
iry and integrity of China:
Consult with the Government to which
you are accredited with the view to learn
ing If. in order to avoid the possible out
break of troubles in China and to limit
the prejudice of war on neutral commerce.
it will not be proper to respect the neu-
tralty of the administrative entity Of

Mr.. Hays phrase administrative en-
tity'' is not clear to the officials here, but
they say he does not seem to mean the
integrity OF China"

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE move made
by Secretary Hay in connection with tie
proposed naturalization Of China has
aroused the greatest interest in diplomatic
circles here, and in consequence, this being
the regular weekly diplomatic day. many
more than the usual number of Ambas-
sadors and Ministers called at the State
Department
1t is understood that while. as matter
of courtesy, the representatives here of
the Powers signatory to the Pekin treaty
were informed by Secretary Hay of the
nature of his proposition. yet this was
only for their Information.
The Secretary is negotiating directly
subject through the resident American
Ambassadors and Ministers.
1t was stated to-day that some, but not
ALL of the countries addressed had re-
piled. and these replies We're generally IA
vorable and satisfactory.
But it is declared to be too early yet
to publish the text of Secretary Hays
note and any of these replies. 1t is init
mated, however, that this may be done
as soon as the negotiations on this point
have been concluded.
AS some doubt was expressed in certain
quarters as to whether Japan would con-
sent to be bound In the fashion proposed,
1t can be stated that such information Is
the State Department has on the sub
ject Is to the effect that Japan would
welcome an International agreement neu-
tralizing China.
An intimation has been thrown out that
one reason for this apparent sacrifice by
Japan of the prospective fruits of victory,
IL she succeeds in her campaign. is fear
that some of the great neutral Powers
may grow covetous of more Chinese soil
and seize the opportunity when the bel
hgerents are exhausted to extend their
Chinese holdings.
One of the incidents of diplomatic day
which was witnessed with interest in the
neighborhood of the diplomatic room of
the State Department was the meeting Of
the Russian Ambassador and the Japa-
nese Minister. Count Cassini was chatting
with the Austrian Charge. Mr.. Takahira
was alone.
The Russian, who is dean of the Diplo-
matte Corps, bowed with marked polite
ness and forma]ity when he perceived the

learn from a trustworthy source that
China has asked the United States to oh
tain an International pledge as to the in
tegrity of China.
According to information furnished at
the Chinese Legation here, this is because
China itself was unable to guarantee the
permanence of her neutrality during the
war. My authority at the legation says
the position of the Chinese Government is
this:
China is prepared to maintain strict neu-
trality for the time being. but how long
such an attitude is possible will depend on
events. 1t must be remembered that, not
only is war being fought about Manchuria,
Chinese territory. but fighting is certain
