London, July 19.—While it is untrue that any formal declaration of war has been made by China against Russia, it is accepted as a fact by all the European powers that many millions of the Chinese have committed themselves to defiance of the western world.

"A special commission is sitting daily to arrange for the dispatch of troops. It is chartering boats. Twelve transport fessels have already been engaged, including a Danish steamer for which the government paid £12,700 for conveying troops and stores to China.

That military district has been placed on a war footing, and a division of infantry, 10,000 men, has already started thence overland for Siberia. .Other troops are leaving from the Odessrt district.
