London. March 1.-THE renewal OF the bonn

which has been considerably reinforced. is the
chief feature Of the war news. The reports are
from Russian and Chinese sources not Japanese,
and the town Is represented rs being exposed to
a destructive fire from two quarters. 1t is sus-
pected by the military writer's here that the
artillery Of the fortifcations Is completely out

ships, while outside the range Of the fire from
the shore. able 20 lombard both the town
and the disabled ships in the harbor The
effect Of the shells is evidently more severe than
the Russian censor cares TO admit. There are
rumors that large portion Of the garrison has
been withdrawn and there are signs that the
Russians are tent upon retiring from New
Chwang as soon as the Japanese appear
There is no decisive news from Southeas stern
Manchura, and several Of the best military
writer's reject the Washington theory that the
japanese have reached FunE- Wang Cheng from
Ta-Ku-Shan. They do not explain where are the
divisions which the transports have been taking

: MPEROR p y LAlMS WAR.
Declares Russia Disressri.d Ssemu Pledges
10 Powers.

Toyko, japan, BY cable. The exist
cncc of state of war with Russia was
formally announced by an imperial proc
lamuton. The following is the text
I'VE, by the grace of heaven Emperor
Of Japan, seated on the throne occupied
by the same dynasty since time imme-
mortal, hereby make proclamation to all
our loyal and brave subjects, as follows:
I'VE hereby declare war against Russia
and we command our army aud navy to
carry on hOstiltes against her in obedi.
encc to their duty, with all their strength,
and We also command all our competent
authorities to make every effort, in pursll
auce of their duties, to attain The national
aim with all the means within the limits
of The law Of nations.
I'VE have already deemed it essential
~ international relations, aud have made
it our constant aim, to promote the pacific
progress of our empire in civilization. to
strengthen our friendly ties with other
states, aud to establish state of things
which would maintain enduring peace IN
the far East, and assure the future seciir-
ity of our dominion without injury ~
the rights or interests OF Other powers.
Our competent authorities have also per
formed their duties in obedience to our
will. SO that our relations with all the
powers had been steadily growing IN
cordialty. 1t was thus entirely against
our expectations that we have unhappily
come to open hostilities against Russia.
The integrity Of Korea is Il matter OF
the gravcst concern i0 this empire. not
only because Of our traditional relations
with that country, but because the Sepa
rate existence of Korea is essential to the
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1904-02-19

safely of our realm. Nevertheless, Rus
STA, in disregard of her solemn treaty
pledges to China and her repeated aSsur-
ances to other powers, is still in occupa
ton of Manchuria; has consolidated and
strengthened her hold on those provinces,
and is bent upon their final annexation.
And since the absorption of Mancbur'a
by Russia would render it impossible .
maintain the integrity Of China, and
would, in addition, compel the abandon
ment of all hope of peace in the far East,
we were determined in those circum-
stances to settle the question by ncgotia
tons and to secure thereby permanent
peace. With that object in view, our
competent authorities by our order made
proposals to Russia and frequent confer
ences were held during the last six
months.
Russia, however, never met such pro
p0sals in spirit of cancellation, but by
wanton delays put off settlement of the
serious questions, and by ostcnsibly adj
vocating peace on one hand, while on the
other extending her naval and military
preparations, sought to accomplish her
selfish designs We cannot in the least
admit that Russia had from the first any
serious or genuine desire for peace. She
rejected the proposals of our government:
The safety of Korea was in danger and
the interests of our empire were menaced.
The guarantees for the future which we
failed to secure by peaceful negotiations
can now only be obtained by an appeal
to arms"
1T is our earnest wish that by the 10y,
atty and valor Of our faithful subjects
peace may soon be permanently restored
and the glory of our empire preserved. "
