Alarm About n Raid Ht Niagara.
New YORK, May 80.
A Montreal special to the Tribune says
Information has been received from the
West that preparations for descent upon
Nlagara are more extensive than had
been imagined, and fears arc entertained
that the Fenians in that locality will be
across before the Government is ready.
Toronto has looked upon the whole affair
with so much Indifference up to ycster'
day, that no thought Of danger to the
western lines have been entertained
Nearly all the available volunteers have
now been called out, with the exception
OF the battalion further to the rear, and
these are ordered To be in readiness. The
Toronto artillery and infantry Nrc ready
for active service. The eth uighlandcrs
will probably be stationed at Quebec for
orders. Cornwall Is projected by the 5Oth
infantry. Ottawa is garrisoned with the
Goth rifle brigade.

ada against the wishes Of the volunteers.
Robert Collery hGs to be added to the ar.
rests. Father Mcmahon went into the
country to avoid arrest. Locomotives
with open trucks are kept ready with
steam up night and day ut nearly all the
railway depOts where troops can be sent
forward. Sarnia is protected by artillery
from London and infantry from that and
other districts.
RumOr that the British Minister has
Demanded His Passports.
Ottawa is in state of terrible and Uni
defined excitement. There Is much SEN
sation because Of Il telegram from Wash
ingtOn announcing that Thornton has de-
mandcd his passports.
The Grand Trunk Brigade was ordered
10 be in readiness to turn out yesterday.
All the men are ready; they could be
shipped for any point in sixty minutes.
There may he trouble about the field
piece that was taken from the FcnlHns
while in position on United States terri
tory The facts Hrc that fire was opened
Dv the FCnians on u knoll 100 yards from
he line, and that the Howe Guard made
1 rush down the hill and shot down five
Fcnians, captured the gun and returned
with it 10 Pigeon Hill. There is not the
slightest doubt that they crossed into
Vermont territory, but the fact Of shoot
ng these last Fcnians was not known
as the Guard kept pretty silent
lbout it.

Dispatches from Buffalo say TINT there
ire in that city about fifteen hundred
Fcnians, who express their determination
10 make raid in some locality; but being
without organization or any person CApn-
bic Of leading them, no attack need be
cared. This opinion Is from sources
Usually considered good.
