The Situation In Afghsnistsn.
LONDON, April 5.-The Times, refer
ring TO the situation in Afghanistan,
saws: In India, AZ here, something ke
an interregnum must prevail until the im.
pending changes have been made. Lord
lytton, Viceroy, has been so entirely
identified with the present government,
and has 80 fully committed himself to
its plans, that his prolonged term OF Of
fee is az little possible as 1t is desirable.
The only doubt is as to whether he will
wait TO be recalled or will anticipate, by
his own act, the result he can scarcely
hope 10 avoid. The name OF Lord
Nortlbrook, formerly Governor. Gener-
al Of India, suggests itself as Lord Lytton's
successor, but Lord Northbrok does not
wish to return to his old post. There is
less room for doubt regarding the In
structions the new Viceroy will take
with him. A peace will be made with
the least possible disturbance OF our
normal relations with Afghanistan. IL
our lines must at any point be advanced,
as is likely, there must be some an
nexation Of the territory. What is done
will be done with the sole view to
the safety OF India. We shall hear no
