The reported differences between the
Khedive Of Egypt and Mr.. Cave are UNI
founded, although the desire Of the last
named to examine the accounts OF the
various Ministerial Departments caused
some surprise at Cairo.
The Times says it is reported from
Washington that the German Government
is anxious to obtain a naval station in the
West Indies, and that it is negotiating with
the Danish Government on the subject.
The medical certificate that Count
Arnim is too i'll to 60 to prison has been
found insufficient, and he will be called
upon to 90 to Germany from Italy and
undergo the penalty pronounced against
him.
A railway accident has occurred at
Odessa, by which 81 persons were killed
and 81 injured.
The concentration of American naval yes-
sells at Port Royal, in South Carolina, is
not regarded in official circles as indicat-
ing any change Of policy. Resolutions
have been adopted by the Ohio House OF
Representatives and the New Hampshire
Republican Convention opposing the cleo
ton Of any President to q third term
office.
The Times Correspondent, at Ragusa,
writing from That place, says, concerning
the Instruction in the Herzegovina CAS-
to the manner OF treating the question,
disparaging the results Of the Insurrecti0n
by |discounting the importance OF the victo-
rics obtained by the Insurgents, and which
has certainly received very high sanction,
I do not any more see the wisdom. If the
Porte chooses to publish the absurd reports
Of its Governors in Mostar, and goes on
disnissiog them one after the other instead
Of furnishing ZEN the means OF gaining
victories instead OF reporting them, L do
not see how a participation OF the Euro
pean public in the dupery is OF any lmpor-
tanco, unless another loan is intended. 1t
In England there are persons or Journals
who think that by belittling the affair and
hushing it up they will wear it out or dis
courage it, they are INDUCING a ilatterIng
deIusion, certain to be dis8ipated before
long. They may be unwilling to admit
that events are as The Times has stated
them to be, aud their agents and correspon-

reports in such a sense, but they will not
thereby be helping the Turks through their
difficulty or their clients out of theirs.
The stubborn facts will still remain that
no y~icrtoies are won, aud the very substan-
tial reason for it, that the Turkish Army Is
too weak and demoralized for the task
given it, and getting weaker every day,
while the insurrection is getting stronger,
will still remain. If the victories are not
greater, it is simply because the advances
of the troops are not energetic or persis-
tent enough and if out OF the 10 battal-
ions which have been sent into HerzegoVl-
pa previous to the latest operations, Raout
Pasha was able only to collect 5000 men
for the relief Of Niksics, which is the real
state OF the case, it remains with those
who belittIe the results of the Instruction
to show the cause.
The results OF the battle Of Muratovizza
cannot we'll be exaggerated, except in
the number of killed, and this is a poinb
now pretty well determined, by concur
rent testimony and careful comparison
ofmany reports, to be not very much in
excess Of what was originally stated In
the Insurgent reports. The chief result
was that the Turkish army was driven
out of strong positions, lost all its sup
plies, aud was obliged to retreat precipi-
lately and by night to Gatschko, and if
the insurgents had been more careful to
