 Amnesty fer Afghans--rhs UabulIs Closely Beaiesed.--TReinfarc
 AnxiOusuy Awaited.
 LONDON, Jan. 6.-An official dispatch from Oabul received at Calcutta states that General
 Roberts has offered amnesty to all of the Afghan insurgents in the capital or through
 out the country who will lay down their arms and promise not to make war again upon the
 British flag, excepting only few of the leaders, whom he reserves for trial and pun ishmsnt as soon as they are captured. Gen. eral Cough occupies Bala Hissar. The Her atis and Turcomans are preparing to attack the Cabulis, who are shut up in the fortress of Herat. The former have virtually besieged the city and give battle at once to any Cabulis who venture for any reason outside the gates. It is expected that serious disturbances will inevitably follow in connection with the situa- tion at Herat unless the reinforcement which is reported to be about to embark from Bonn bay arrives at Herat by the way of the Bolan Pass in time to intercept the leader of the Heratls, whose return is presently expected from the Persian frontier, where he is col lecting men and armE with which to prosecute the siege. Should Heras be closed and in- vested it Is believed the Cabulis will be com pelled to surrender through starvation, the amount of food for men and beasts being to- tally inadequate to a heightened demand.
 A dispatch from Cabul says Mahmoud Jan has informed General Roberts that he will re- new fighting very shortly.
 R asAiRm War PrepArati0ns--Threa
 ening Concentration Of Troops---War-
 like Talk in Military Circles.
 LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Daily Telegraph vouches for the trustworthiness of commu- nication, dated Kosnigsburg, Dec. 31st, as. ssrting that the distribution of the Russian army shows @ striking conveyance toward the western part of the empire, and that Rus greater proportions than can be justified by the object of filling up the vacancies left by the late Russo-Turkish war; Within the last few weeks the strong force already quartered in the western provinces has been one of cavalry. This raises the force along the western frontier to about one-half of the entire Russian army en a peace footing. Extensive measures of re- organization and improvement in all the de- partments of the service are pushing for ward. The greatest activity also prevails in increasing the means of communication and providing halting places. Military railroads are building. Deliveries of supplies for ar senals, building materials, uniforms, etc., are making on a vast scale, with scarcely an attempt at concealment. The arming of the frontier fortresses is going on with the ut most promptit1de.

Oil Works on Fire-.Probable Loss of
 Lifes
 NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The bursting of an oil still in Lombard & Ayres' oil works, at the foot of Sixty sixth street, at quarter-past o'clock this morning, set the building on fire. There were workmen inside to whom no warn- ing of the catastrophe was conveyed until the explosion threw a shower of burning oil upon them. They ran for the doors and reached the open air, but two of them were badly burned. The eyes of one at least, James Reilly, will be lost. About the hands and body he was so severely burned that the flesh peeled from the bones, and his recovery is despaired of. James Eagan was burned about the body, but his injuries are not so severe, and hopes of his recovery are entertained. Ambulances were summoned, and both men were sent to the hospital A rumor was cur rent that one man was still left inside and had met his death there, but this was not credited by the police. The loss Is $6, 900.
