Nations Wait Upon Russia’s Decision Since Austria Has Declared . OCCUPATION OF BELGRADE 'EXPEGTED NEX Scheme for Mediation Conference—No Enthusiasm in England for the ‘War, sorship Keeps Vienna Without News of Any Military When Servians Attempted to Cross Into Austria. —— TLondon, July 28—The Austro-Hun- garian government declared war against Servia'today by a manifes.o which is one of the briefest of mo- mentous documeénts in histor: Germany Paved the Way. Germany paved the way for this declaration by announcing her rejuc- tion of the British scheme to bring four powers together in conference for n. Germany ned to the public that her could ndt be ex- pected to submit Her acts to a Euro- pean council as though she were one of the Balkah states. This _annouucement ~preceded the declaration of war b only twd hours ga¥e an exhibition of the perfect- harmonious working of the partner- #hip between the two nations. which stood firmly together through the Bos- alan erisis of 1908, St. Petérsburg the Last Plank. The center of interest has been shifted sharply to St. Petersburg,whica holds the decision wiiether a European war which probably would shift the. balance of power, if not rearrange the entire map of Europe, is to break out. Nesotiations are afoot there between the Russian foreign niinister, Serg:is Sazanoff, and the Austrian ambassa- dor, which are designed to “localize” the conflict. The nature and progress of these conversations are in the thickest mystery, but they are the last plank the neutral powers are clinging to in face of a stormrwhich, may wash all under. 2 Austria Would Wipe Slate Clean, There is no_doubt in British minds that Austria had fully resolved + utilize the provocation' afforded by the Saravevo murders to wipe the slaf clean of all accounts against Servia, and served an ultimatum on her whizh was designed to have no result save war. R The next news expected is the oc- cupation of Belgrade, and that even now may be an accomplished fact. Reports of small encounters aloa1g the front have been permitted to pass the censor. but military experts hece believe that mobilization has already been effected and that a thoroughly planned campaign is-under way. England Must Support Russia and 7 France.

The dari: developments of the day were received without excitement and With the deepest gloom. The immedi- ate effect of the war cloud is likely to be a compromise on home rule, since all parties feel that domestic dissen- sions must be settled at all costs in the fage of peril from without.

Papers Held Down by Censor. Vienna is absolutely without news of the movements of the troops, which the papers are forbldden to print. A shatp censorship has been established over the press and all means of com- munication. A great, quiet crowd which constantly increased in numbers, assembled before the war ministry and cheers greeted the appearance of mil- itary officers and the ministry officials. The evening papers published the fol- lowing inspired statement: “In well informed circles the view is held that so far as Sir Edward Grey's proposal is to localize the con- flict between Austria, Hungary and Servia, the former can declare herself entirely agreed with Sir Edward Grey’s remarks, but regarding what he has said concerning the suppression of mil itary operations, things have proceed ed’ much too far to allow anything to be done in this direction. Advices from Belgrade say that the Servian capital is now located at Nish, where the Skupshtina (national as- sembly) met, today. ~AH ‘Servians tween 18 60 vears of age abl, ve been called out, and proceeding repidly, .al peasants who- will _have heir harvesting are reported to be m 'h_discontented, - ghting “Along the Drina, litaerishche Rundschau re- ports sharp fighting along the river Drina, Servian volunteers attempfing to cross the river being resolutely op- posed by Austrian frontier troops.

The government is simply awalting the decision of Rus- Troop trains are ready and repre- sentatives of the army are on duty in_ the telegraph, telephone and post offices. The average cifizen has read in the newspapers personal instruc- tions concerning mobilization: he long has had his orders instructing him precisely when and where to report for service. = Lérge posters on the bul- letin beards in the post offices, city halls and -other public buildings will apprise him of exactly the hour when his instructions become effective. Austria May Hait Operati According to what is belleved to be responsible opinion, there remains the possibility that when Austria. has oc- cupled some Servian territory she will in a day or two announce her inten- tion not to proceed further, but to hold what she has taken until Servia gives competent guarantees that she will ob- serve Austria’s wishes. Russia would not then be likely to intervene, it is argued, except diplomatically and ne- gotiations appear to be going on at the: present time between Austria and Russia. On the announcement of war tonight Paris became animated. There were patriotic demonstrations in the capital and many other citles throughout the republic. There were demonstrations against the war also. ABNORMAL RISE IN VIENNA FOOD PRICES. ! Indignant Populace Mobs the Stall keepers — Vegetables Trebled in Price. Vienna, July 28—There was an ab- normal rise in the price of provisions today, which cavsed great indignation on part of the public who flocked to the markets to lay in stores in an- ticipation of a possible scarcity.

Vienne, July 29.—A manifesto issued by the emperor, after stating that it had been his fervent wish to dedicate his declining years to preserving the empire from/the burdens and sacri- fices of war, says: Providence has declared otherwise the Intrigues of a malevolent opponent compel me in defense of the honor of my monarchy ond for the protection of its dignity and the security of its possessions, to grasp the sword after long years of s The manifesto refers to the Ingrati- tude of Servia for the support the em- epror's ‘ancestors afforded to Servian independence; how Servia for years has pursued a path of open hostility to Austria Hungary; how Austrian an- nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina which injured no Servian rights, call- ed forth in Servia outbreaks of the Dbitterest hatred. “My _government,” continues the emperor , “then employed the hand- some privileges of the stronger, and with extreme considerafion requested Servia only to reduce her army to a peace footing and promise to tred the paths of peace and friendship. Sérvia’s Hatred For House 6f Austria. Then recalling that it was Austrian forebearance two vears ago that en- abled Servia to reap the fruits of the strugglé against Turkey the emperor says: “The hope that Servia would keep its word has not beem fulfilled; the flame of its hatred for myself and my heuse has blazed always higher. The design to tear from us by force in- separable portions of Austria Hungary has been manifested with ever ‘lessen- ing disguise,’” N Incite Youth to Treason. The manifesto then dwells on the “criminal propaganda which has ex- fended “over the frontier, aiming at the destruction of the foundation of order and-loyalty ifi the southeastern part of the monarchy and leading as- tray of growing youth and inciting it %o Resds of madaess and high treason.” Tt continues: “A seriés of murderous attacks in organized and well carried out conspiricy, whose fruitful success ‘wounded me and my loval people to the heart, forms the visible and bloody track of those secret machinations which were operated direct in Ser- via.” Servia Rejected Just Demands. Declaring thta a stop must be put to_t*sse intolerable provocations, the horor and dignity of the monarchy protected and Its political, military and economic developments guarded from continuous shocks, he says: “In vain did my governrent make a last attembt to induce Servia to de- sist. Servia rejected the just and moderate demands of my government and refused to conform to the obliga- tions forming the natural foundatioms of peace in the life-of peoples and states. I must therefore proceed by force of arms to secure those indis- pensable pledges which alone can in- sure tranquility to new states within | and lasting peace with out. “In this solemn hour I am fully consclous of the whole significance of y resolve and my responsibility be- Tore the Almighty. 1 have examined and weighed evervthing, and with se- rerie conscience I set out on the path that duty points. I trust in my peo- ples, who throughout every storm have always rallied in united loyalty around my throne and have always been pre- pared for the severest sacrififices for the honor, greatness and might of the fatherland. “T trust in Austria Hungary's brave and_devoted forcés and in the Al- mighty to give victory to my arms.” The emperor's manifesto is address- ed to all his people. GERMAN SOCIALISTS INVEIGH AGAINST WAR FURY Denounce Brutal Policy of Austria, but Berlin Populace Cheers for Austria, Berlin, July 28—The ambassadors gathering at the weekly reception of the German foreign minister, Herr Von Jagow, ldte this “afternoon were de- cidedly pessimistic, although most of the. ambassadors had no knowledge of the Austrian laration of war. Twenty-six socidlist mass meetings tonight In the workmen's quarters of the city were crowded to the doors, and overflow meetings were held. A resolution was adopted denouncing “the brutal policy of Austria” ana de- manding the governments to restrain their war fury. Police were massed around the meet- ing places, but the meetings were or- derly. Later the soclalists converged in processions to the center of the city, singing the Wokmen's Mars laigé and shouting “down with war. An _enormous crowd of patriotic peo- ple, however, had jammed the Wil- helmstrasse and Under den Linden before the arrival of the socialists and drowned their songs and cries with patriotic airs and cheers for Austria, and forced the socialists to beat an ignominious retreat. The police were able to prevent the crowds from forming processions, and they were fully occupied also in keep- ing them away from the Russian and { French embassies.

Reserves—About $105,000,000 is Total. New ¥ork, July 28.—Further enor- mous ts on this country’s gold reserves, having their origin in the dis- turbed_conditions abroad, added in no small degree to the alarm prevalent m the financial district today. Thus fa this year total withdrawals aggregate about - $105,000,000, which breaks all known records. Engagements ' today amounted to $13,000,000, all but $2,500,000 going to London, the balance being destined for Paris. The French market has been the largest purchaser of the yellow metal here, its total demands since January asgregating approximately $85,000,000. In fact, it was not until Yesterday that London began pulling | at this quarter, presumably because of the keen competition in its own mar- ket for the gold received weekly from South Africa. There have been three distinct gold shipments since the year opened. Tne first began in January, when some $20,000,000 was taken for Paris. In May began the second movement of about $40,000,000, the greater bulk again helping to swell the contents of the vaults of the Bank of France, a part going to the Imperial Bank of Germany. The third and present movement was initiated last week, when the war clouds began to hover over eastern Burope. In five business days a total of $28,850,000 has been taken. The supply’ of gold bars of requisite- fine- ness gave out toduy and recourse was had to eagles and double eagles. TRADING AT RATE OF $100,000 A MINUTE. Wild Excitement in Chicago Wheat Market—Offices Jammed With Busi- ness. 45 ) Chicago, July 28.—Stenes of wild ex- citement marked. the close of trading on the stock exchange at 1.15 p. m. ‘When the gong sounded, announcing the close of the day, the pit was pack- ed with perspiring brokers frantically shouting in an effort to execute as many orders as possible before the ex- piration of the time limit. When trading closed with Septemuer wheat quoted at 92 3-$ cents a bushel, it was estimated that business was be- ing transacted at the rate of $100,900 a minute. The oldest traders declared that nothing like .the scenes had been enacted on the board since May, 1898, ‘when Joseph Leiter ran a corner in| wheat, and the price of the product Tose 14 cents a bushel in a few hours. Word of the bulge reached the puh- lic, and the visitors' galleries of the board ° were soon thronged. - Every brokers’ office was crowded with trad- cre, and the office emploves found it difficult to transact the orders given. The war ran up wheat transactions to a total of nearly 100,000,000 busheis and shot prices skyward 8 1-4 to 9 1-4 cents. No other day of the twentietn century has witnessed trading here that was equally wild. Although failures were momentarily looked for, there was none announcad.

Tomorrow will be devoted to arguments by both the state and defense, and it is anticipated that Judge Joel H. Reed will make his ‘charge to the jury Thursday morn- ing. irs. Wakefield was the principal witness today. She denied that she had aided James Plew in killing her husband, for which crime the latter was recently hanged. She also denfed a number of minor points which the state has attempted to prove. - Asked if she had not told Mrs. George Gil- lette, who lived in the same house with her, that if Wakefleld was dead she would_have another husband tomor- row, Mrs. Wakefielreplied with an emphatic “No!” “Did you have any evil purpose against your husband?” asked State's Attorney Alling. “None whatever."” “Didn’t you believe Plew killed your husband?” ‘Of course, you wanted to find him, dead or alive?” ‘Alive, of course. Mrs. Wakefleld said that the specta- cle case found near the body of her husband belonged to her. This was in contradiction to testimony offered by the state, which sought to show that the case belonged to Wakefleld. - During her testimony Mrs. Wakefield broke down and sobbed several times. The court room was packed with spectators today, many of them being Wwomen. KEEPING WATCH ON VILLA. Washington Government Offici Would Like to Know Just What His Intentions Are. Washington, July 28.—Although there were no tangible developments, the Washington administration exerted itself further today toward drawing togéther the discordant elements in the Mexican situation. Official messages from Vera Crus spoke of the satisfactory pragress of the conferences there between repre- sentatives of General Carranaz and General Zapats, and an agent of the latter soon will go north to work out with the constitutionalist chief the de- tails of the friendly understanding that already has been reached between the army of the south and the constitution- alist forces. The American govern- ment is helping these elements to reach an agreement. Pending the arrival of the delegates from the Carbajal government to con- fer at Saltillo with Carranza, no defi- nite developments relative to the transfer of the governmental authority at Mexico City is expected. A vigilant watch is being maintain- ed by the Washington government over the movements and activities of Gen- | eral Villa. Late despatches are some- Wwhat disquieting in their tenor, and it is not altogether clear to officials what Villa’s intentions are. The United States is not relaxing its efforts through consular agénts, however, to bring Carranza and Villa into co Dlete accord, and Villa’s friends are being informed that he cannot expect the moral sympathy of the United States in the event of an open break. Carranga, it is understood, also is be- ing urged to forget the personal dif- ferences with Villa and give him an equitable share in the honors of the revolution.
