LONDON, April 23d.-The Daily
NeaUs, in a leading editorial, says:
The policy of the British Ministry
is becoming matter of growing
importance. The military prepa-
tions may be mere precautions, but
there is not one of them which
does not mark our progress to a
state of war. They are understood
abroad and every one of them in
creaSss the difficulty of maintain
ing peace. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful whether the full import of
some of these so-called precautions
is yet realized. The most impor-
tant of all, the despatch of native
troops from India, has been passed
over with very little remark, al
though. the measure marks revo-
luton in our Indian military poll
cy. OF its effects on India there
will be only too many occasions of
speaking. The Indian government
was wise to gag the vernacular
press before calling the natives of
India to the aid of the nation
which holds their country by right
Of conquest. That is u subject on
which free native press would
certainly have had much to say.
Just now, however, we are con-
cerned to know where these troops
are about to be put. The native
troops are preparing to come, but
where they will be landed is a
ministerial secret. At Calcutta it
is given out that their destination
is Malta, and it may be; but, if so,
where are the troops going who are
already in that garrison? We may
take it for certain that the Indian
troops will not be landed in Malta
in addition to those who are al
ready there. Malta is fall, and the
only Inference which can be drawn
is that in the plan of the govern
ment by the time the Indian regi-
ments arrive, a destination at
present unknown will be found,
either for them OF for the corps
they will displace. 1t is quite as
likely that these troops will be
landed at some Turkish port as
that they will go to Malta. Very
little time can elapss before we
know what is intended by the gov.
eminent. We may suppose that
the resolution of our government
depends upon this or that contin-
gency, but the practical lesson of
the last few weeks is that in these
matters resolute hand is guiding
mystified people to AN appointed
end.
