EASTERN WAR CLOUD.

LONDON, Aug. Z1.-A Reuter- dis
patch from Simla reports that the
government has no information of
disaffection among the Abduleraman
troops at Cabul. The mutiny among
the troops of Khan of Khelat is con

In the house of commons this
evening the marquis of Harrington,
secretary of state, for India, replying
to the question said: 'sThe viceroyI
of India has under consideration the
advisability of maintaining the from
tier prescribed by the treaty Of Gun
damuk" Lord Harrington also
stated that he had received no
confirmation of alarming Afghan
news in this mornings Standard,
but he had received a telegram from
the viceroy dated to-day which makes
no reference to that news. The
viceroy's decision in regard to the
frontier line would not be influenced
by the mere fact of certain territory
having been acquired by the
treaty of Gundamuk. In the
present consideration of the
question that the treaty may
be regarded as having ceased to
exist. The viceroy is taking the
best advices he can get, and on his
report the government will act.
Lord Harrington was not now pre-
pared therefore to state what posts
on the Afghan frontier her majesty's
forces will occupy. Sir Charles Dixie,
under secretary for the foreign de-
partment, in reply to question said,
that before Sir Austin Layard took
his departure from Constantinople
the seditious paper called the Oak
III Islam was printed in the imperial
Turkish printing office, said to be
subsidized by persons connected
with the Turkish government for
distribution inIndia, but before steps
which her majesty's government had
ordered her representative to take
could be taken, he was informed that
the subsidy had been stopped and the
paper would not again appear.
A dispatch to the Times from Bu-
charest says the Roumanian pohti-
clans are somewhat excited over the
alliance question. One faction, head
ed by M. Baere, minister of foreign
affairs, favors making a common
cause with Austria. Another party,
under the leadership of Prince
Gregory Staurdza, leans toward
Russia as the only power
which has really befriended Rouma-
MIA. Between these two parties is a
third, which opposes all foreign alli-
ances, desiring Roumania to become
the Belgium of the east, or in case
events become too strong for Rou-
mania, to remain neutral.
The capture by the Roumanian au-
thorities, in the Dabrudsja, of TWEEN.
ty or thirty malefactors, has givel
rise to the most exaggerated reports
which have been telegraphed hence
to European journals.
