LONDON, July 21.—A dispatch received here this afternoon from Shanghal says that @ rumor s in circulation there that war has been declared between China and Jap: WASHINGTON, July 21.—Mr. Tateno, Japanese minister, said today that he did not credit the Shanghal report of a declura- tion of war between China and Japan. None of his advices has indicated the probability of a conflict, and the latest cable ms re celved from his government date back a week. Had the report of a declaration of war emanated from Yokohama or Peking, at or near the seat of the respective gov ernment, it might have some foundation But the fact that the report come from Shanghal, a long distance from either of tho above named places, and where there are many foreigners and speculators, he sald, was almost convincing proof to him that the report was incorrect. The war rumor found no official confirma- tion at the State department, which natur- ally would be quickly advised- of an event of this importance by Minister Dunn at Toklo. Still, the belief is general In gov- ernment circles that the- situation is very critical, and it would not surprise them if it appearzd that the report is only premature. Consequently there is already some specula- tion as to the outcome of a conflict be- tween these two populous mnations. Prob- ably the war would begin at sea, and it Is thought in naval circl's that at the start the Jupanese would have the advantage, owing to the fact that their vesscls are in condi- tion for immediate service. But as it stands tho two nations are nearly even in their naval strength. CHINESE AND JAPANESE NAVIES. The Chinese navy consists of thirty ves sels, but many of these are small and ob- solete in type. Thore are five very effectiy armored ships, built within the last twelve years, four being battleships—Chen-Yuen, King-Yuen, Lai-Yuen, and one, Ping-Yuen, a coast defense ship. There is also an armored wooden gunboat, Tivn-Sing. These vessels are armed with Krupp guns, the Chen-Yuen of 7,430 tons carrying twelve- inch rifles. There are uineteen crulsers car- rying Armstrong and Krupp guns, two tor- pedo cruisers and several small gunboats. Tho Japanese navy consists of thirty-two vessels of all kinds, including five armored ships, the Fu-soo, Hiyel, Kon go, Rio jo and Tschiyoda, Thess> range in tonnage from 1,600 to 87,000 and are armed with Krupp guns, lighter than the Chinese battle- ships carry. There are fourteen cruisers of good size and well armed with Krupp and Cancl guns, seven gunboats of small ton- nage, three coast defense ships, with twelve- inch French rifles and a half dozen corvettes and a few training ships. But this balance of resources does nol extend to the army, in which Ohina has an enormous advantage in num- bers. In times of peace the Chineso army number 300,000, to Japan's 73,000, but on a war footing the Chinese strength is 1,000,000 men, while the Japanese forces under like conditions number only 230,000, with 29,500 mounted police. In view of these figu military experts here believe that while Japan might obtain a temporary advanta in the early stages of a war with China she would very likely to be ultimately over- whelmed by sheer force of numbers. REPORT 18 PREMATURE. SHANGHAL, July 21 — The report that war has been declared between China and Japan is not yet confirmed, but China is preparing for war. The Chinese are block- ing the northern passage of the Yang-Tse- Kiang, the great river of China. vessols are thus compelled to pass nearer the Woosung forts. Telegraphic communi- cation with Pekin has becn stopped on ac count of floods, Jupan has chartered all the Mitsul Bussan company's ships, in addition to the sixtecn already chartered from the Wusen Kaisiba company. Japan has prohibited the depariuce of the Yusen steamers. YOKOHAMA, July 21.—The Corean gov- ernment hcs consented to the reforms pro- posed by Japan. Hritish and United States marines have been landed at Seoul, the ital of Cor. and Ameri Incoming cap- in order to protect the British an legations, China has requested that Japanese warships be not allowed to enter the Chlnese treaty ports. Japan, replying to the request of China in regard to Japaneso warships, has replied that she maintains the right to enter these ports at any time. The attitude of the population generally is warlike. It has been learned here that 12,000 Chineso troops bave received orders to proceed with all possible dispatch to Corea. » EFFECT OF THE ANNOUCEMENT. 1 WASHINGTON, July 21.—The announce- ment that Corea had consented to the re- forms proposed by Japan caused officials of the Japanese legation here to express the Bope that this would end the strained rela- tions between Japan and China. This de- pends, however, it was said, on whether China gave her assent in the matter and allowed the proposed reforms to be insti- tuted, China, it is stated at the Japanese fegation, has three times refused her assent #0 co-operate with Japan in instituting the weforms desired in Corea. Now that Corea has agreed to the reforms, it is suggested that Japan, assisted by Corea, can go ahead and remedy the existing condition of affairs. No specific statement of the reforms de- sired has been recolved as yet at the Japan- eso legation here, but thelr general tenor ls known, and they Include changes in the system of taxation and the removal of restrictions that now exist on trade. At this thue, It Is sald at the legation, th and mechanical Ipterests of agriculiural Corea are absolutely subject to the whim of local offictals, who have it In their power to make arbitrary regulations that trouble and frequently popular uprisings. The fiscal methods of the country are said to need radical reform: Japan does the banking business of the country, and the government is frequently called upon to press the Coreans for money due the Japan- ese, and which, it fs asserted, should be easily collected by the courts, WANT THE JUDICIARY REFORMED. wants the Corean judiciary system reformed, as under that now in vogue cruel and unusual punighment Is inflicted and inquisitorial methods prevail to the in- jury of Ja » businese men.

June 8 the Corean minister to Japan called on the Japanese minister of foreign affairs and announced that he was about to take his leave to report to his gov- ernment the feeling and policy of Japan towards Corea. At about the same time, os a result of a cabinet council, attended by the emperor of Japan, the Japaness govern- ment dispatched Mai Ma Sao, chief coun- selor of the foreign office, to Corea as spe- clal messenger of the government. He car- ried full Instructions to the Japanese min- ister in Corea. The native press reports that the attempt to induce Otori, Japanese minister at Corea, to withdraw the Japan- ese troops having been unsuccessful, Voceroy Li telegraphed directly to Count Ito, asking him to withdraw the troops, and that it was this extraordinary request that caused the meetings of the Japanese council in the presence of the emperor on June 22 and 23. It is claimed the Japanese government de- cided to positively refuse the request. The native papers also announce that the Russian minister wrote to the Corean min- ister of foreign affairs on June 12, declar- ing that the Corean rebellion was not to be feared; that the rebels are simply ig- norant Coreans and that if they should enter Zoul and threaten tho destiny of the state friendly powers would not look on with folded arms. This gives rise again to the reports that Russia and France are ready to interfere in the event of more serious trouble. Relative to the rebellion the native papers report that the rebels are more than hold- ing their own in Genshu and that they are so powerful that the weak government troops dare not attack them. WOMEN AND CHILDREN SENT HOME. A Corean newspaper of June 16 announces warlike preparations by the Chinese in Zoul and Junchan, who were preparing to send their women and children to the home coun- notifying hel assistance try. These preparations were made under official instructions. On the morning of June, the Chinese government sent 6,000 or 7,000 soldiers from the coast of Iaku, in six men-of-war, which steamed up the Taido Ko for Ping Yang, about fifty miles from Zoul. The preparations of China to estab- sh a force of 12,000 soldiers in Corea caused the Japanese council on the 23d of June to resolve that the number of Japanese soldiers to be sent to the peninsula should reach 10,000 and be followed by more if the movements of China warranted it. It Is also reported that Russia intends to send 1,000 troops to Junsan, probably to proceed overland to Zoul. It is clalmed also that the Chinese government has been smuggling many soldiers Into Corea in citizens' gulse, and that Chinese munitions of war have been sent in ostensibly as Co- rean army supplics. At present there are at Jenchuan nine Chi- nese men-of-war, nine Japanese men-of-war and one each of Amorican, French and Rus- slan, When the steamship salled it was claimed there were 5,000 Japanese troops at Jenchuan and 1,000 at Zoul. It was also reported that 1,000 more had left Tokio on June 15. The Japanese officers, it s sald, have been in- structed that It the Chinese should show the slightest signs of attack they must be prepared not to stand on the defensive, but and put the enemy to rout. Th commanders have instructed their to sleep in their uniforms and to be prepared for engaging at a moment's no- tice. Kato, affair. tant was d Ing the Rio de chief counselor of Japanese foreign who was sent to Corea with impor- instructions to the Japanese minister, e to arrive at Zoul the day follow- departure of the steamer City of Janeiro from Yokohama. It was believed his negotiations would terminate the dispute either in peace or actual hos- tilitles. The conditions lald down by the Japanese government are said to'be to the following effect: DEMANDS OF THE JAPS. That it is out of the question that both Japan and China should co-operate elither with regard to the suppression of the rebels or a reform of political affairs, railway man- agement, etc., 5o as to make Corea a purely independent country, which is necessary for maintaining the balance of power in the Orlent, consequently it China would not agree to the plans now in course of negotiation Japan would have to carry out these things berself. The negotiations are said to have been made with the Corean government and later with the Chinese minister. It 1s announced also that the Japanese have demanded of the Corean government that both the home administration and diplo- matic affairs should be extensively reformed; that communication and transportation be preserved and facilitated; that as the pro- tection of Japanese residents is most neces- sary in bringing about these reforms Jap anese troops could not be readily withdrawn, yet, It the Corean government wishes the Japanese troops to be withdrawn at the same time as the reforms are commenced, China should first be asked to withdraw her troops.

Marks to Ald the S wers Kal loons in Their Fight. (Copyrighted 1894 by the Assoclated Press.) BERLIN, July 21.—Considerable interest is taken here In the tarift leglslation of the United States. It was learned that negotia- tions are proceeding between Berlin and Washington in order to prevent the possi- bilities of a commercial war. The decision of congress in regard to the sugar schedule is awaited with great anxiety, many of the newspaper articles on the subject condemn- ing the stand taken by the senate. People in this country are already discussing the possible reprisals which Germany could make in the event of her suffering through Ameri- can tariff legislation. For instance, the Ham- burger Correspondenz,a newspaper well known as getting much of its news from high ofi- clal sources, proposes in case a duty fs im- posed upon raw sugar that Germany should raise the duty on American petroleum. But in this case the proposition contained in the article alluded to originated in the mind of the editor. The government desires that nothing should occur to prejudice the good relations between the two countries, and it is not likely anything but very grave neces- sity could mar this good feeling. As an evidence of Emperor William's de- sire for peace and his wish to share the feclings of the people of France, the great fall parade of Grison, which since September, 1871, has been fixed for the anniversary of the surrender of Napoleon WL at Sedan (September 2, 1780), has this year been or- dered to take place on August 18, The em- peror's attitude of conciliation is resented by a large section of the people, who claim the right to rejoice on the day they consider as marking the birth of the German empire, without caring whether it pleases France or not. BISMARCK'S HEALTH NOT SO BAD. Prince Bismarck is in better health than is generally believed. His trip from Schoen- hausen to Varzin lasted eleven hours, the last three of which was during the night. He traveled In a carriage, but the exertion does not seem to have had any ill effect upon him. The ex-chancellor made seven speeches while envoute, the most remarkable of them being the one which closed with his request for “three cheers for Berlin.” The Berlin press expressed amazement at this action upon the part of Prince Bismarck and com- mented upon the fact that this was the first time for years that he had said a triendly word for the capital. The e chancellor has always shown himself a fierce opponent of Berlin, which returned men to the Reichstag who opposed his policy. The beer boycott continues, although the socialists are losing ground. The struggle Is now assuming the character of a decisive battle between the bourgeoise and the socialists. The latter are coercing their ad- herents in every possible manner. The socialist election committee has resolved to exclude from its support every one shown to be in the habit of drinking boycotted beer. On the other hand the beer saloons have ceased taking the Vorwaerts, the organ of the socfalists. More than 1,000,000 marks have been contributed to fight the boycott by assisting the saloon keepers. Men like Krupp have contributed largely to the funds. The daily amounts received average 50,000 marks, while the socialist boycotters com- mand about 500 marks daily. The woman from St. Petersburg who was taken to the Moabite hospital suffering from cholera is recovering. The discase from which she was suffering was a mild type and there is mo fear that it will spread in this city. More alarm is felt at the possi- blo inroad of the disease from the eastern frontier. The raftsmen descending the Vistula from Russian Poland are a constant source of danger. But the greatest precau- tlon Is exercised all along the frontier. In spite of this fact, however, five deaths from cholera and one fresh case have been re- ported from that part of the country today. Unless this condition of affairs within the next month, the maneuvers about Kraigsberg in will be postponed. FINANCIAL ESTIMATES WERE OFF. The imperial budget for the year ending March 1 shows a surplus of 12,500,000 marks, instead of 1,260,000 as estimated, This is in spite of the fact that the army and navy expenses were underestimated to the extent of 10,000,000 marks. The surplus 1s due to large increases of revenue from the postoffice and the imperial taxes. An official statement shows that Immigra- tion from Hamburg, Bremen, Stettin, Rot- terdam, Antwerp and Amsterdam is falling off continuously and rapidly. The whole number of Germans forwarded to the United ceases imperial September States by six lines was 8,339 for the month of June, against 8,758 for June, 1893, and the outlook for July is even worse. Major Wissman, the distinguished German explorer, has arrived here in the best of health, In an interview he said he hopes to return to Africa at the earliest possible date. He considers the victory of the Italians at Kassala to be of the greatest im- nations. portance to all Indlans and Negroes Unite. MANAGUA, July 21.—The negroes and the Indlans on Coru island, it Is reported, have made common cause and a massacre Is feared. A mob composed of English, Ameri- cans and some Nicaraguans Is giving the police much trouble. The British minister, Mr. Gosling, left here yesterday. American Murdered In Scotland. GLASGOW, July 21.—John Sinnamon, whose address s glven as 192 East Second street, New York City, was found murdered in an alley of this city last night.

ROME, July 21.—A petard was exploded this morning near the British embassy. damage was done. No LONDON THEATRICAL SEASON, Performances ofore Royalty Ara Now Un- asually Commo (Copyrighted 1894 by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, July 21, ~ Aside from Sarah Bernhardt, the week has been devold of nov- elties in theatricals, Operatic and dramatic fperformancas hatore the court are so freguent as to no longer attract much attentlon. For instance, on Wednasday last the 4fvo Reszkes were com- manded to appear at Windsor castle during the afternoon. They lobeyed, maturally, and sang a selection of safos and duets from va rlous operas. Tostl presided at the The same evening Sigfried Arnoldson, Ben Davies and Sig. Arcona sang before the queen, the czarewltch and other members of the royal family and their guests, selec- tions from Cowen’s “Signa.” Cowen played the plano. The queen personally arranged the program for the De Roszkes. The princess of Wales, accompanied by a brilliant suite, was present on Tuesday last at Sarah Bernhardt’s performance of *La Femme de Claude.” The audience applauded vigorously, and Mme. Bernhardt was re- called repeatedly. But the enthusiasm d played was ealled forth by the wonderful art of the great actress and not by the play. 2. S. Willard hes extended his season at the comedy theater, where J. M. Barrie's “The Professor’s Lova Story,” in which Mr. Willard fs Prof. Goodwtilie, has been draw- ing better than at first expected. Charles Wyndham certainly does his best to make the rehearsel of his company as agrecable as possible. When Lady Violet Greville's play was being prepared for pro- duction at the Criterion, he took the entire company down to Brighton for several days and rehearsed in a private salon at the Metropole. Now, however, he has gone one better than this; he has had a tiny stage fitted up in the garden of his own hous piano, and it is on these minfature boards, shaded from the sun, though in the open air, that the first rehearsals of Heury Arthur Jones' new play, due at the Criterion early in the autumn, are taking place. At ordinary re- hearsals it is almost impossible to get any- thing like a comfortable meal, but at Mr. Wyndham's “Theater Royal Back Garden” the creature comforts of the performers are most carefully looked after by Mrs. Wynd- ham. London is now witnessing the Debacle of theatrical season. Last night saw the final performance of a successful play—"Money” at the Garrick. LYCEUM LOANED FOR CHARITY. Henry Irving has lent the Lyceum for a special matinee nextMonday by members of the Actors’ association and others, among those who are to appear being Sarah Bern- hardt, who, during her present stay, has sev- cral times given her services in the aid of charity. The program is to conclude with the play scene from “A Midsummer Night's Dream,” with George Anson, B. J. Tonnen, J. T. Shine, Harry Paulton, Lionel Rynold, Fanny Brough, Carlotta Addison and Beatrice Lamb in the principal parts. The supers will also all be promjnent -actors and actresses. Performarices of this kind always cause as much amuscment to the performers as to the audience, and gagging is the order of the afternoon. Twenty years ago managers would as soon have thought of flying as of undertaking a tour around the whole English-speaking world. Now such enterprises are of quite common occurrence. Early in September George Edwards sends to America a power- ful burlesque company, whose tour will open at a ten-weeks' season in New York. Their principal piece is “A Galety Girl,” which has had such a phenomenal success at the Prince of Wales. But “In Town” will also be played. After visiting the chief towns in the United States, the company will sail from San Francisco for Australia, and wili not return to England until July, 1895, so that the tour will last altogether ten months. Several interesting engagements have been made by George Edwards in connection with the English Touring company of “A Gaiety Girl” Nina Martino of “La Petite Paris- enne” fame, will play the important part of Mina, and two sons of Nellle Farren will also be in the cast. Miss Martino is now having dancing and fencing lessons at the expense of the management. As un Instance of mmeteenth century precocity it may be mentioned that Sydney Ellisen, the stage manager at the Prince of Wales, is barely out of his “teens.” Maud Hobson, who played the part of the “Galety Girl” in London, but who will not go to America, has just had her portrait painted by Markham Skipworth. She is seated in a gilt chair, bebind which is a background of hanging tapestry. Her dress, which is cut low, is of white and yel- low satin, embroidered with gold and edged with sable. The jewels she is wearing are all turquoise, the comb in her hair, her necklace and bracelets consisting of the most handsome and valuable stones. She is worshipped by the “jeunesse dore” of London, and scarcely a day passes but she receives extravagant presents of Jewelry, many of them sent by anonymous devotces, EDWARD TERRY COMING OVER. Edward Terry, who by his performance in “King Kodak” showed that, despite long disuse, his burlesque hand has lost none of its cunning, starts on a provincial tour with his own company on the 13th prox. He will return to town in December with two new plays, and after , their production it is not unlikely that he will set forth on a prolonged tour in ‘America, Australia and India. Even in the best regulated theaters lu- dicrous stage mishaps are not unknown. A more amusing instance of disillusioning, due to the theatrical superitition that it is nec- essary to have a cat “behind,” s reported from the provinces. The great scene in the “Middleman™ s, of course, in the third act, when Cyrus Blenkarn breaks open his oven and finds that he has discovered the long-lost secret of making a certain old ware. In the beginaing of the act Blenkarn dwells at length upon the excessive heat to which the clay has been subjected, and he has to wait a long time before the oven has sufficiently cooled to enable him to pull down the bricks. Tue actor had just reached the final point in the scene and the bricks were beglaning to clash upon the floor, when a large, black cat appeared at the orifice and leapsd upon the stage. The result produced on the audlence by this unrehearsed effect can be readily imagined. Oscar Beringer has written a two-act play, “The Plea of His Story,” founded on & story by Morley Roberts, who started life by running away from am uncongeniak home’ and serving for months before the mast. Morley Roberts is a great favorite at the Authors' club, to whose members he often relates his adventures. He is too much of a rolling stone, however, ever to make & great name. At present he is be- lieved to be in San Franeisco, employed as & detective, but bis friends have had no news of him for months past, INGALLS IN ACTION Kansas Republicans: Open the Campaign with Their Heavy Artillery.

FREDONIA, Kan., July 21.—It was a battery of big guas that fired the opening salute of the Third district republican cam- pa‘gn here today. Ex-Senator Ingalls, Major Morrill, Hon. Bernard Kelly and Colonel Dick Bluc spoke before vast audiences in the afternoon and evening. The brilliant Ingalls was received with the enthusia:tic ovation always accorded him. He said in the course of a two hour'’s address “I am here today to make a republican speech. I responded to Senator Kirkpat- rick's invitation because he is the same kind of a republican that I am, without variableness or shadow of turning. Your chafrman in introducing me said that I had retired from public life. This is a mistake. I was retired. My retirement was purcly involuntary. While I probably have a much cause as any one to find fault with populists, I have always said that the cam- paign waged against me, unjust as it was, was the most scientific on record in Ameri- can politics. It resulted in throwing me higher into the atmosphere than anything elie that has been recorded since the cow jumped over the moon.” Getting . into his speech, Mr. Ingalls said that there is one thing worse than a popu- list; it is a democrat. The populists have fallen from grace, but the democrats fur- nish an illustration of original sin and total depravity. “Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. Therefore we have this epoch of democratic and populi:t rule. I want to declare my belief here that for the condition in which the state finds itself today the democracy is strictly and. wholly responsible. Demo- crats of Kansas have always been ready to make illicit alliances to thwart the suc- cess of the republican party, and whatever be their profesdions today I want to say to you that in the legislative and congres- sional contests ‘you have exactly the same opponents as’ herctofore. The great ques- tion before the American people is not the tarift or silver, but whether we are to have any government in this country at all. We want to know whether this is a government of law or a government of men. This i a question for the republican party, because every other party has shown itself incom- petent to settle it.” Mr. Ingalls spoke at length of the recent strike, denouncing his own detention in Chicago as a prisoner of war. He spoke most bitterly against the attempt of work- ingmen to prevent others from accepting labor at wages they had refused. He re- garded such action as an abrogation of in- alienable rights that made the constituticn seem ironical and the government no better than 1f dispensed by a czar. “No ruler in the old world,” he said, “could have inflicted such a condition upon the people without precipitating a revolution in twenty-four hours. For the condition cf affalrs in Chicago no .man is more responsible than Governor Altgeld, for when he pardoned the anarchists he said it was safe to burn, pillage and shed blood. Grover Cleveland, in telling Altgeld that the United States would protect its citizens, blundered on the first serviceabie act of his two terms. The question of the hour is the suryival of constitutional government among men. Un- less the republican party is able to ac- complish the task, I tell you it is gone.” The senator announced that he Is opposed to woman suffrage because his mother, wife, sisters and daughters do not want to vote, He thought that when the women wanted to vote they would make it known. He said the prohibitory law must be cnforced or repealed. He spoke against indiscriminate immigration and ended with a discussion of the money question, in the course of which he sald he was a bimetallist, pure and sim- ple, as he had been for twenty years or more. —_— DECLARED HIMSELF PRE DENT. Banford 1. Dole Announces Hawall's Con- stitution to the Public. HONOLULU, July 13.—The provisional gov- ernment is no more and the republic of Hawail holds the reins of power. But it is only a change of name, the same people are in power, and the avowed purpose of the government is the same—to obtain annexation with the United States. The new constitution, which was finished on the 2d, was promuigated on the 4th of July from the front steps of the former palace. A large crowd was present and when President Dole appeared he was greeted by a mighty cheer while surrounded by his cab. inet, the military and the members of the late constitutional convention. He read the proc- lamation of the new republic, as follows: 1, Sanford B, Dole, president of the pro- visional government of the Hawallan Is- lands, by virtue of the charge given me by the executive and advisory councils of the provisional government and by act dated July 4, 18M, proclaim the republic of Hawall as the soverelgn authority over and throughout the Hawallan Islands from this time forth. And I declare the constitution framed and adopted by the constitutional convention of 1894 to be the constitution and the supreme law of the republic of Hawall, and by virtue of this constitution, I now assume the office and authority of president thereof, Long live the republic.
