DA Y'S DEVELOPMENTS
IN EUROPEAN WAR

London, Aug 13-The war of the nations of
europe today became further regulariZed with the
formal declaration of war on Austria Hungary by
Great Britain and France. The strength Of the Brit
lsh fleet in the Mediterranean is unknown, no
movements Of warships have been made public since
the first outbreak of hostilities 1t is known however
that France has the bulk Of her fleet in the Mediter
ranean so that apprehension exists here to the
safety OF trade routes thru that sea- that it seems
certain that the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau
are out of action
The official press bureau here, describing today
the disposition of British cruisers in the Atlantic anc
elsewhere especially urges traders of all nations doing
business with Great Britain to send their cargoes con-
fdenty and boldly to sea, in British neutral ships
in all directions except the North sea- where owing to
mines and the probability of naval operations, no
guarantee can yet be given, atho. as announced yes
terday, passenger services are again running.
OPERATIONS ON LAND.
In the field of land operations little change has
occurred since yesterday.
Itmust be remembered, in considering all the pub
lie reports OF military operations that these dis.
patches emanate almost exclusively from the side OF
allied French and Belgian armies.
Nothing whatever comes from the German and
Austrian side, relating to military movements or dis
position and only occasionally brief item describing
the result Of past engagements is made public from
those quarters.
The strict censorship exercised over the whole
field makes it difficult to estimate the value OF the
news received.
The struggle for the possession of the Belgian
ports Of artillery and cavalry engagements are taken
as indicating the possible beginning OF great battle
on Belgian soil. ~
The shtilk of the German forces is believed to be
concentrated the frontier between Liege and the
duchy Of Luxembourg This leads to the conclusion
that Germanys frontier facing Russia, can be only
lightly guarded probably by newly organized armies
composed of reservists called to the coors.

SHIPS PASS THRU CANAL
Several Smaller Vessels Make Passage
in Regulation TIms-First Official
Trip to Be Made Saturday.

Washington. Aug. 1s.- The first
steamship to pass thru the Panama
canal-the Cristobal-made the trip
from the Atlantic to the Pacific in
eleven and one half hours. The return
trip. however, was made in eight and
one-half hours. which probably marks
the average time that will be con-
sumed by merchantmen when all OF
the machinery of the canal is in smooth
operation. The Cristobal made this
experimental voyage Aug. and 4, and
at the time was drawing twenty five
feet Of water.
Last Sunday Governor Goethals, in
recognition Of their services. allowed a
number of the old employees to traverse
the canal from one ocean to the other,
on the steamer Advance, and 1t is re-
ported that everything Is in perfect
order for the formal opening of the
canal next Saturday, when the Ancon.
sister ship to the Cristobal, belonging to
the Panama Canal Railway Company.
and of $500 tons. will make the. official
trial trip.
