RussIal Demands an Explanation
of Prussia's Designs-Berlin and
London Excited All Europe on
the Verge of War.
NEW YORK, Sept 29.-The startling
news of the massing of an immense Rus
sian army on the frontier of Prussia is
conveyed this morning in a special from
London correspondent.
1t is stated in addition that the Russian
minister at the Court of Berlin has
been instructed to demand of Prussia a
full and categorical explanation of her
purposes and policy in continuing the
war with France.
There is great uneasiness both in Berlin
and London. A cabinet meeting in the
latter capital, which was to have been
held on Friday, has been called Tor to-day
in consequence of urgent dispatches
from Lord Lyons TO the British Minister
at Tours, who beseeches England to inter-
fere and compel peace before all Europe
| is set in flames.
| Wars DesOIati0n on the Rhine.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-Dr. Qdiest, who
has recently made tour of Inspection
through Rhenish Prussia, Hanover, Baden
| and Hesse, makes an earnest appeal to
the charity of all Germans for the people
| of these countries. He says that the
towns are crowded with helpless women
and children coming in to beg for bread.
| The fields are left untitled. Villages are
swept clean by the armies of food.
His picture of these regions of vlcte-
| rious Germany is scarcely better than
| that which is given by others, of the van
| pushed districts of invaded France. The
prices of all the necessaries of life have
gone up three-fOld.
Gigantic Preparations of Russia.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The military pre-
parations of Russia are proceeding on a
| gigantic scale. There is great activity
| everywhere.
The Pressure on England to Inter-
vene- Typhus Fever in German
Hospitals.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-Speclal to the
| Times-I have it from a well informed
quarter that the pressure brought to bear
| upon the English Ministry, by men like
Sir Henry Bulwer on the one hand, and
| the deputations from the Radical party
on the other, is producing an effect upon
| the Government, which is likely to de-
part from its policy of abstinence from
action on mediation. The working class
es favor determined effort TO stop the
war. 1t is curious TO see that while
married men of the city are against inter-
ference, all military and naval men are
loud in their expressions of indignation,
because no effort is made by England to
save France from utter ruin.
Our correspondent writing from Ham
burg on the 9th, states that a reserve
corps of $4,000 men passed through
Frankfort this week to reinforce the
Prussian army in France. A great deal
of typhus fever is prevalent in the Ger
man hospitals. The wounded are being
removed from the cOntagion.
